What is Cloud Computing?

Imagine renting a computer, storage, and software over the internet, instead of buying them. You only pay for what you use, and someone else handles all the maintenance. That's cloud computing.

Why Cloud Computing?

• Cheaper: You don't buy expensive hardware.

• Easier: Someone else handles the tech stuff.

• More flexible: You can quickly get more or less computing power as you need it.

• Accessible: You can reach your data and software from anywhere.

Types of Cloud Computing Environments

• Public Cloud:

  • Like renting an apartment in a big building. Anyone can rent.

  • Examples: Google Cloud, AWS, Azure.

• Private Cloud:

  • Like having your own private house. Only you use it.

  • Used by one company only.

• Hybrid Cloud:

  • Like having both an apartment and a house, and moving things between them.

  • Mix of public and private.

• Multicloud:

  • Like renting apartments from multiple different buildings.

  • Using different public cloud providers. (Google Cloud, AWS, Azure)
