2. CLOUD COMPUTING
Cloud computing means on demand delivery of IT resources via
the internet with pay-as-you-go pricing. It provides a solution of IT
infrastructure in low cost.
Cloud computing is a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient,
on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable
computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications,
and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with
minimal management effort or service provider interaction.

3. HYPERVISOR
• Hypervisor is a form of virtualization
software used in Cloud hosting to divide and
allocate the resources on various pieces of
hardware. The program which provide
partitioning, isolation or abstraction is called
virtualization hypervisor.
• Hypervisor is a hardware virtualization
technique that allows multiple guest
operating systems (OS) to run on a single
host system at the same time.
4. Types of Hypervisor –
• TYPE-1 Hypervisor:
Hypervisors run directly on the
system hardware – A “bare metal”
embedded hypervisor.
• TYPE-2 Hypervisor:
Hypervisors run on a host
operating system that provides
virtualization services, such as I/O
device support and memory
management.
5. KEY CHARACTERISTICS OF CLOUD
• ON-DEMAND SELEF SERVICE
• BOARD NETWORK ACCESS
• RESOURCE POOLING
• RAPID ELASTICITY
• MEASURED SERVICE
Cloud computing is the delivery of different services through the Internet. These resources include tools and applications like data storage, servers, databases, networking, and software.
