This document discusses cloud networking and related technologies. It introduces cloud computing models including Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS). It describes cloud-enabled networks which use pre-built public cloud infrastructure and cloud-based networks which are software-defined and controller-based. Open network operating systems allow software-defined controllers to manage entire networks. Cloud networking provides reliable, scalable connectivity and virtual private networks through technologies like MPLS.
