Cloud Computing, Storage and Terminologies

What is Cloud Computing

Cloud computing is the provision of different computing services via the internet, sometimes known as "the cloud," is known as cloud computing. Servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics, and intelligence are some of these services.

The following are some essential features of cloud computing:

Contingent Self-Service: Without assistance from a service provider, customers can use computer resources as needed.
Wide-ranging Network Access: Applications can be accessed via the network using a variety of devices, including laptops, tablets, and smartphones.
Resource Pooling: In order to service a number of customers, providers pool their resources and dynamically allocate and reallocate them in response to demand.
Rapid Elasticity: The ability to quickly scale up or down resources in response to demand
Measured Service: The provider and customer benefit from transparency as resource utilization is tracked, managed, and reported.

A few advantages of cloud computing are lower costs, more speed and agility, and the capacity to scale resources in response to demand.
