🌩️From Cyber Cafés to Cloud Computing

Before laptops became common, I used to visit cyber cafés whenever I needed the internet. Those shared machines were my portal to the digital universe.

Years later, when I heard about cloud computing, I froze.

It sounded complicated and overwhelming.

But thanks to the AWS AI for Bharat initiative, I finally stepped into cloud learning — and now it feels much clearer.


☁️ What Is the Cloud?

Cloud Overview

Cloud is basically a rental service where you get:

  • compute
  • storage
  • databases
  • networking

You pay only for what you use.
