Imagine you are a student before the advent of internet and digital library, you go to borrow books for assignments daily after your classes, but what if instead of going to the library every time, all the books in the school library is now moved to your basement, you could access all the books from your home. What a great relief would it be for you? You could pick any book at anytime with no restriction. That's essentially what cloud computing does, you use any resources anytime you want without restriction. For a new project, PoC, Lab etc. without waiting for a server to be delivered to you, you can spin up a server or any resource at your will.
Cloud computing is like a digital library, but instead of books, it stores data, software, and applications. Instead of going to the library, you access these resources through the internet.
AWS: A Popular Cloud Provider
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is one of the largest and most popular cloud providers. Think of AWS as a massive digital warehouse. It has countless servers (like computers) that store and process data.
Here's a simple analogy:
Your computer: Think of this as your personal library. It can store a limited number of books.
AWS: Imagine this as a giant, state-of-the-art library with infinite shelves. It can store countless books (or data).
How Does it Work?
You rent space: Instead of buying a physical library, you rent space in AWS's digital warehouse.
You store your data: You upload your data (like documents, photos, or videos) to this rented space.
You access your data: You can access your data from anywhere in the world with an internet connection securely.
Benefits of Cloud Computing
Scalability: Need more storage? AWS can provide it instantly, like magic.
Flexibility: You only pay for what you use Pay-As-You-Use model.
Reliability: AWS has multiple data centers to ensure your data is safe and accessible anytime.
Cost-effective: It can be cheaper than maintaining your own servers.
In essence, cloud computing makes it easier, faster, and more affordable to store and access data and applications.
