In 3 tier architecture, applications are organised into the presentation tier, which implements application components that deals with user interface; the logic tier (sometimes referred to as application tier), where business logic are implemented; and the data tier, where the data associated with the application is stored and managed.

The architecture of applications that are just born in Cloud and those that are just migrated to Cloud are typically quite different.
