Definition:
Cloud computing has many components. These components work together to provide services to users. They help users access files, folders, and cloud systems, and manage and use cloud resources through the internet.
The list of components is as follows:
- Front-End
- Back-End
- Cloud-Based Delivery
- Network
Front-End
It is a user who uses the system.
Users directly use the user interface in this component. It helps users perform tasks in the cloud system using available options and controls.
Users can access it on devices such as laptops, computers, tablets, and mobile phones through a network connection.
For example, in a cloud system, users can upload and download files, create databases, and perform other operations through the front-end interface.
Back-End
It is a system-side user who manages the system and can be a developer or administrator.
It is not available to front-end users and is only available to authorized cloud service providers, administrators, and developers. Users cannot see or directly access this interface.
The back-end manages and controls the cloud environment. Developers and administrators use it for database management, security management, programming, system design, server management, resource allocation, monitoring, and other operations.
It manages data, keeps it safe, and helps cloud services work properly.
For example, when a user uploads data, the back-end receives and stores it. It stores and manages data on cloud servers in an organized and safe way.
Cloud-Based Delivery
It is a part of a cloud system that gives cloud services to users over the internet.
Front-end users can access these services from different devices easily, without installing or managing them on their own systems.
It provides applications, storage, databases, and other cloud resources for users.
For example, if users want to store files online or use a cloud application, the cloud-based delivery component provides these services through the cloud system.
Network
It connects the front-end user to the cloud system through a network.
It works like a bridge between the user and the cloud system.
It transfers data from the front-end user to the cloud system.
It receives user requests and sends responses quickly and smoothly.
It helps cloud services work properly and efficiently.
For example, a user uploads an important file to Google Drive, and the network connects the user's computer to the cloud system.
The server receives the file request and stores the file in the cloud.
In this way, Google Drive keeps data safe in the cloud.
