Abstract
Although there are many aspects to the cloud, the most obvious one to consider is the technical aspect. This has naturally received a lot of attention and is often the focus of analysis and marketing. As a result, there is a plethora of information available about virtually every aspect of cloud technology. The purpose of this chapter is to provide an overview of the main technologies that we meet in the cloud. In the introduction, we saw that it is common to divide the cloud into three types: Infrastructure as a service (IaaS), which provides the most basic technologies; Platform as a Service (PaaS), which contains technologies for developers to create applications; and Software as a Service (SaaS), which offers finished applications to the end user. The emphasis here is on explaining basic structures and functions for the reader to explore in more detail elsewhere.
