Cloud Orchestration

Cloud Computing

The delivery of computing services — servers, storage, databases, networking, software — over the internet on demand.

Infrastructure as a Service

Cloud computing model providing virtualised computing resources like servers, storage, and networking over the internet.

Platform as a Service

Cloud computing model that provides a platform for developers to build, deploy, and manage applications without managing infrastructure.

Software as a Service

Cloud computing model that delivers software applications over the internet on a subscription basis.

Function as a Service

A serverless cloud computing model where individual functions are executed in response to events.

Serverless Computing

A cloud execution model where the provider dynamically allocates resources, charging only for actual compute time used.

Cloud-Native

An approach to building applications that fully exploit cloud computing advantages like elasticity, resilience, and automation.

Private Cloud

Cloud computing resources used exclusively by a single organisation, either on-premises or hosted by a third party.

Public Cloud

Cloud computing resources shared among multiple organisations and available to the general public over the internet.

Managed Service

A cloud service where the provider handles infrastructure management, maintenance, updates, and monitoring.

Cloud Cost Optimisation

Strategies and practices for minimising cloud computing expenses while maintaining performance and functionality.

Spot Instance

A cloud computing option that uses spare capacity at significantly reduced prices with the possibility of interruption.

A lightweight, portable software package that bundles application code with all its dependencies for consistent execution.

A platform for developing, shipping, and running applications in isolated containers with consistent environments.

A configuration where an application runs in a private cloud and bursts into a public cloud when demand spikes.

A communication method where messages are stored in a queue until the receiving application can process them.

An isolated location within a cloud region with independent power, cooling, and networking for high availability.

A framework for managing digital identities and controlling user access to resources and systems.

An authentication scheme allowing users to log in once and gain access to multiple related systems.

An open standard for token-based authentication and authorisation on the internet.
