Cloud Computing Notes
A dedicated BCA World study page for this subject, aligned to the TU BCA 2025 curriculum units.
How to study this subject
For each unit, learn the definition, understand the process, practise one example, and finish by explaining the concept in your own words. Use the model questions after completing the unit notes.
Unit-by-unit notes
01
Cloud concepts, service models, deployment models, and virtualisation
Revise the definition, components, workflow, common examples, and practical use of cloud concepts, service models, deployment models, and virtualisation. Relate it to a small problem or case study from Cloud Computing.
- Define the key terms and identify the main components.
- Draw or describe the workflow, architecture, formula, or process where relevant.
- Connect the idea to a practical BCA example and revise common advantages or limitations.
02
Cloud architecture, compute, storage, networking, and resource management
Revise the definition, components, workflow, common examples, and practical use of cloud architecture, compute, storage, networking, and resource management. Relate it to a small problem or case study from Cloud Computing.
- Define the key terms and identify the main components.
- Draw or describe the workflow, architecture, formula, or process where relevant.
- Connect the idea to a practical BCA example and revise common advantages or limitations.
03
Cloud platforms, containers, orchestration, and serverless computing
Revise the definition, components, workflow, common examples, and practical use of cloud platforms, containers, orchestration, and serverless computing. Relate it to a small problem or case study from Cloud Computing.
- Define the key terms and identify the main components.
- Draw or describe the workflow, architecture, formula, or process where relevant.
- Connect the idea to a practical BCA example and revise common advantages or limitations.
04
Cloud security, identity, privacy, reliability, and governance
Revise the definition, components, workflow, common examples, and practical use of cloud security, identity, privacy, reliability, and governance. Relate it to a small problem or case study from Cloud Computing.
- Define the key terms and identify the main components.
- Draw or describe the workflow, architecture, formula, or process where relevant.
- Connect the idea to a practical BCA example and revise common advantages or limitations.
05
Cloud-native applications, monitoring, cost management, and migration
Revise the definition, components, workflow, common examples, and practical use of cloud-native applications, monitoring, cost management, and migration. Relate it to a small problem or case study from Cloud Computing.
- Define the key terms and identify the main components.
- Draw or describe the workflow, architecture, formula, or process where relevant.
- Connect the idea to a practical BCA example and revise common advantages or limitations.
