AWS Cloud Computing

Before the inception of Cloud Computing platforms, businesses predominantly relied on servers, databases, hardware, software, and other peripherals to take their businesses online. Companies had to buy these components to ensure that their website or applications reached the users. Besides, businesses also needed a team of experts to manage the hardware and software, and to monitor the infrastructure. While this approach was practical, it came with its unique issues, like the high cost of setup, complex components, and limited storage space, to name a few. Cloud Computing was created to address these problems. Cloud Computing is a network of remote servers hosted on the internet for storing and retrieving data. The cloud provides a number of IT services such as servers, databases, software, virtual storage, and networking, among others. In layman’s terms, Cloud Computing is defined as a virtual platform that allows you to store and access your data over the internet without any limitations. Companies that offer all the services mentioned above are called cloud providers. They provide you with the ability to store and retrieve data and run applications, managing them through configuration portals. Most popular cloud providers available today are Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure. Google Cloud, Alibaba cloud, IBM cloud, Oracle cloud services are also some of other providers.
