11.0.5 Cloud Service Models
###########################

Think of cloud services like different levels of a restaurant experience:

=====================================
1. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
=====================================

**Restaurant Analogy: Rent a Kitchen**

.. code-block:: text

   You rent a kitchen space with:
   + Stove, oven, refrigerator (provided)
   + Basic utilities (provided)
   - You bring your own ingredients
   - You do all the cooking
   - You clean up everything
   - You hire your own chef

**In Cloud Terms:**

IaaS provides the basic building blocks for cloud IT. You get virtual machines, networking, and storage, but you manage everything else.

**What You Get:**

- Virtual machines (like your laptop, but in the cloud)
- Virtual networks (connect your VMs)
- Storage (save your files)
- Load balancers (distribute traffic)

**What You Manage:**

- Operating system (Windows, Linux)
- Applications and frameworks
- Security patches
- Scaling and monitoring

**Perfect for Containers:**

.. code-block:: yaml

   # IaaS gives you VMs where you run Kubernetes
   Your Container Journey on IaaS:
   
   1. Rent virtual machines from cloud provider
   2. Install Docker on the VMs
   3. Set up Kubernetes cluster
   4. Deploy your containers
   5. Manage everything yourself

**Modern Container Evolution (2024):**

.. code-block:: text

   IaaS → CaaS (Container as a Service) → Serverless Containers
   
   Traditional IaaS:          Managed CaaS:           Serverless:
   ├─ You manage VMs         ├─ Provider manages      ├─ No infrastructure 
   ├─ Install Kubernetes     │  Kubernetes control    │   management
   ├─ Patch and update       │  plane                 ├─ Pay per request
   └─ Monitor everything     ├─ You deploy pods       └─ Auto-scaling to zero
                             └─ Shared responsibility

**Examples:**

**Pure IaaS:**

- **AWS EC2** (Elastic Compute Cloud)
- **Google Compute Engine** (GCE)
- **Azure Virtual Machines**
- **DigitalOcean Droplets**

**Container-Focused IaaS (CaaS):**

- **AWS EKS** (Managed Kubernetes control plane)
- **Google GKE** (Google Kubernetes Engine)
- **Azure AKS** (Azure Kubernetes Service)
- **AWS Fargate** (Serverless containers)

**Use Cases:**

- Migrating existing applications to cloud
- Need full control over the environment
- Custom software that needs specific OS configuration
- Development and testing environments

**Pricing Model:**

.. code-block:: text

   Pay for:
   + VM size (CPU, RAM)
   + Storage space
   + Network traffic
   + Time running (per hour/second)
   
   Example:
   Small VM: $20/month
   Large VM: $200/month
   Storage: $0.10/GB/month

===============================
2. Platform as a Service (PaaS)
===============================

**Restaurant Analogy: Order from a Menu**

.. code-block:: text

   You sit down at a restaurant:

   + Kitchen is ready (provided)
   + Chef is provided
   + Tables and service (provided)
   - You choose from the menu
   - You can't change the recipes
   - Limited customization

**In Cloud Terms:**

PaaS provides a complete development and deployment environment. You focus on your code, the platform handles everything else.

**What You Get:**

- Runtime environment (Java, Python, Node.js)
- Database services
- Web servers
- Development tools
- Automatic scaling
- Monitoring and logging

**What You Manage:**

- Your application code
- Configuration settings
- Data and content

**Container Platform Examples:**

.. code-block:: text

   PaaS Container Platforms:
   
   ┌─────────────────────────────────────┐
   │ Your Code & Containers              │ ← You manage
   ├─────────────────────────────────────┤
   │ Kubernetes Platform                 │ ← Platform manages
   │ Container Registry                  │
   │ CI/CD Pipelines                     │
   │ Monitoring & Logging                │
   │ Security & Compliance               │
   │ Auto-scaling                        │
   │ Load Balancing                      │
   └─────────────────────────────────────┘

**Examples:**

- **AWS Elastic Beanstalk** (deploy code, AWS handles infrastructure)
- **Google App Engine** (serverless platform)
- **Azure App Service** (web app platform)
- **Heroku** (developer-friendly platform)
- **Red Hat OpenShift** (Kubernetes PaaS)

**Container PaaS Workflow:**

.. code-block:: bash

   # Example: Deploying to Google App Engine (PaaS)
   
   # 1. Write your app (same as always)
   echo "FROM python:3.9
   COPY . /app
   WORKDIR /app
   RUN pip install -r requirements.txt
   CMD ['python', 'app.py']" > Dockerfile
   
   # 2. Deploy (platform handles everything else)
   gcloud app deploy
   
   # That's it! Platform handles:
   # - Building the container
   # - Managing Kubernetes
   # - Setting up load balancers
   # - Configuring monitoring
   # - Auto-scaling

**Use Cases:**

- Rapid application development
- Focus on code, not infrastructure
- Automatic scaling requirements
- Standardized deployment patterns

**Pricing Model:**

.. code-block:: text

   Pay for:

   + Application usage (requests, compute time)
   + Storage and database usage
   + Additional services used

   Example:

   Basic web app: $10-50/month
   High-traffic app: $100-1000/month
   (Scales automatically with usage)

===============================
3. Software as a Service (SaaS)
===============================

**Restaurant Analogy: Food Delivery**

============================================
4. Function as a Service (FaaS) / Serverless
============================================

**Restaurant Analogy: Food Truck**

.. code-block:: text

   Order from a food truck:

   + Truck appears when you need food
   + Pay only for the meal you eat
   + No setup or cleanup required
   + Scales automatically (more trucks for events)
   - Limited menu options
   - Can't customize the kitchen

**In Cloud Terms:**

FaaS lets you run code without thinking about servers at all. You upload a function, and it runs only when triggered.

**What You Get:**

- Event-driven execution (HTTP requests, file uploads, database changes)
- Automatic scaling (from 0 to thousands of instances)
- Pay-per-execution pricing
- Built-in high availability

**What You Manage:**

- Just your application code
- Function configuration
- Event triggers and integrations

**Perfect for Microservices:**

.. code-block:: python

   # AWS Lambda function example
   def lambda_handler(event, context):
       # Your containerized app logic here
       user_id = event['user_id']
       
       # Process business logic
       result = process_user_data(user_id)
       
       return {
           'statusCode': 200,
           'body': json.dumps(result)
       }

**Serverless Container Services (2024):**

.. code-block:: text

   Modern Serverless Evolution:
   
   Traditional Serverless:           Serverless Containers:
   ├─ Limited runtime support       ├─ Any container image
   ├─ Function size limits          ├─ Larger applications
   ├─ Cold start latency            ├─ Improved cold starts
   └─ Vendor lock-in                └─ More portable

   Examples:
   ├─ AWS Lambda + Custom Runtime   → AWS Fargate
   ├─ Google Cloud Functions        → Google Cloud Run  
   ├─ Azure Functions               → Azure Container Instances
   └─ Vercel Functions              → Vercel Edge Runtime

**Examples:**

**Pure FaaS:**

- **AWS Lambda** (most popular)
- **Google Cloud Functions**
- **Azure Functions**
- **Vercel Functions** (web-focused)

**Serverless Containers:**

- **AWS Fargate** (serverless EKS/ECS)
- **Google Cloud Run** (serverless containers)
- **Azure Container Instances**
- **Railway, Render** (developer-friendly platforms)

**Use Cases:**

- API endpoints and webhooks
- Image/file processing
- Real-time data processing
- Scheduled tasks and cron jobs
- Event-driven microservices

**Pricing Model:**

.. code-block:: text

   Pay for:
   + Function execution time (milliseconds)
   + Memory allocation during execution  
   + Number of requests
   
   Example (AWS Lambda 2024):
   
   Free Tier: 1M requests + 400,000 GB-seconds/month
   After free tier:
   ├─ $0.20 per 1M requests
   ├─ $0.0000166667 per GB-second
   └─ Example: 10M requests/month ≈ $25-50

Choosing the Right Service Model
================================

**Decision Framework:**

.. code-block:: text

   Ask yourself:
   
   "Do I need custom infrastructure?"
   ├─ YES → Consider IaaS
   │   ├─ Legacy applications
   │   ├─ Specific OS requirements
   │   └─ Custom networking
   │
   └─ NO → "Do I want to write code?"
       ├─ YES → Consider PaaS
       │   ├─ Web applications
       │   ├─ APIs and microservices
       │   └─ Custom business logic
       │
       └─ NO → Use SaaS
           ├─ Standard business apps
           ├─ Productivity tools
           └─ Ready-made solutions

**Real-World Example: E-commerce Company:**

.. code-block:: text

   Company uses ALL THREE models:
   
   SaaS:
   ├─ Gmail for email
   ├─ Slack for team communication
   ├─ Salesforce for customer management
   └─ GitHub for code management
   
   PaaS:
   ├─ Web frontend on Google App Engine
   ├─ APIs on AWS Elastic Beanstalk
   ├─ Database on Azure SQL Database
   └─ Container platform on Red Hat OpenShift
   
   IaaS:
   ├─ Data analytics VMs on AWS EC2
   ├─ Legacy systems on Azure VMs
   ├─ Development environments
   └─ Custom Kubernetes clusters

================================
Cost Comparison by Service Model
================================

**Example: Small Web Application**

.. code-block:: text

   IaaS Approach:
   ├─ VM costs: $50/month
   ├─ Storage: $10/month
   ├─ Networking: $5/month
   ├─ Management time: 20 hours/month x $50/hour = $1000
   └─ Total: $1,065/month
   
   PaaS Approach:
   ├─ Platform usage: $80/month
   ├─ Database service: $25/month
   ├─ Management time: 2 hours/month x $50/hour = $100
   └─ Total: $205/month
   
   SaaS Approach:
   ├─ Use existing solution: $50/month
   ├─ Customization: Limited
   ├─ Management time: 0 hours
   └─ Total: $50/month

=====================================
Serverless: The Emerging Fourth Model
=====================================

**Function as a Service (FaaS):**

.. code-block:: text

   Restaurant Analogy: Meal Kit Delivery
   + Pre-measured ingredients (provided)
   + Recipe instructions (provided)
   + You just follow the steps
   - Pay only when you cook
   - No kitchen rental when not cooking

**Serverless Container Examples:**

.. code-block:: yaml

   # AWS Lambda with container support
   FROM public.ecr.aws/lambda/python:3.9
   
   COPY app.py ${LAMBDA_TASK_ROOT}
   COPY requirements.txt ${LAMBDA_TASK_ROOT}
   
   RUN pip install -r requirements.txt
   
   CMD ["app.lambda_handler"]

.. code-block:: bash

   # Deploy container as serverless function
   aws lambda create-function \
     --function-name my-container-function \
     --package-type Image \
     --code ImageUri=123456789012.dkr.ecr.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/my-func:latest

**Benefits:**

- Pay only for execution time
- Automatic scaling to zero
- No server management
- Perfect for event-driven applications

**Examples:**

- **AWS Lambda** (serverless functions)
- **Google Cloud Functions** (event-driven functions)
- **Azure Functions** (serverless compute)
- **Cloudflare Workers** (edge computing)

.. note::

   **Your Container Skills Are Universal!**
   
   Whether you choose IaaS, PaaS, or even serverless, your Docker and Kubernetes knowledge applies:
   
   - Same Dockerfile syntax
   - Same container concepts
   - Same orchestration principles
   - Same monitoring approaches
   
   The service model just changes HOW MUCH the platform manages for you!
