This will be the general overview of all the basic cloud components and terminology.

1. What is Cloud?

cloud just means using computing resources online. I know you have heard about this so let me break this into simple terms. Imagine you want electricity so one thing you can do is like to buy a generator and produce electricity and use it. Isn’t that cool but definitely it would have other costs associated with it as maintenance and operation cost definitely you don’t want that. So what do you contact your nearby company which produces electricity and you get a connection and now you can use as much electricity you want and you just pay for what you use? Now you don’t have to worry about the additional cost like operational and maintenance rights.

This analogy can also be used with the cloud so what happens in the early 90s if you want to host your website you buy a server ( server is nothing but just a computer with lots more computing power) and install the Operating System by your own configure it and host your website but this is similar to generating your own electricity now you have to manage all the operation and maintenance cost such as electricity, cooling, path fix and much more. So, to overcome this barrier companies like Amazon(AWS), Microsoft(Azure) and much more. provide cloud service in which you can use their computing resources basically servers online and host whatever you want to host. You can host your website, create your database, Machine learning, and big data analytics and much.

So What do you think Cloud is good or bad. I know most of us to think that build a server on your own would be a cool thing. I also think so but Amazon and other cloud service provides make it easy for us so now we don’t have to focus on the server part we can solely work on our business logic

Thank you everyone leaves your comment down below.
