Week 4 Posting - Cloud Networking

This week, the class covered cloud networking, which involves appropriating IP address spaces in cloud networks, identifying cloud stacks, and configuring network interfaces in the cloud. For me, I found incorporating the OSI model to the Cloud Stack Theoretical model benefits me by learning how to manage and organize the information. Layer 1 is the physical layer. This layer includes servers, cables, hardware, etc. Layer 2 is the virtualization layer. This layer emphasizes the virtualization software and hardware. Layer 3 is the network layer. This layer focuses on managing resources, costs, security, and other services. Layer 4 is the OS layer. This layer is centered around data storage, data processing and workloads. Lastly, layer 5 is the application layer. This layer is for the traditional lower-layer functions. The cloud service provider is responsible for monitoring the physical and virtualization layer (West, 2022, p. 132).
