Getting Up to Speed With Amazon Web Services and Cloud Computing
What is Cloud Computing?
Cloud Computing is the art of delivering standard computing services such as servers, storage, databases and networking over the Internet. As an example, if you wanted to add more storage space to your network, instead of buying some hard drives for a local server, you’d connect everyone to a cloud computing resource such as Google Drive.
It really is that simple. Instead of building local infrastructure you use resources sourced from the Internet. That is all cloud computing is.
