Today’s Topics 📘

1. What is Cloud Computing?

   We’ll explore the basic definition, benefits, and why cloud computing is such a game-changer in the tech world.

2. Types of Cloud Services ?

Here, we’ll break down the different cloud service models—IaaS, PaaS, SaaS—and how each plays a unique role in cloud architecture.

What is Cloud Computing?

• Cloud computing is the practice of accessing computing services—like servers, databases, networking, and storage—over the internet rather than owning and maintaining physical hardware yourself.
• Think of it as renting technology resources from a provider such as Google Cloud, AWS, or Microsoft Azure.
• These resources are delivered on-demand, allowing businesses and individuals to scale their needs up or down while only paying for what they use.
• Cloud computing has revolutionized the way we think about technology infrastructure. Before, businesses had to invest in expensive hardware, manage large server rooms, and hire staff to maintain them.
• Now, by simply connecting to the internet, anyone can access the same capabilities without the upfront costs and maintenance burden. This shift makes technology more accessible and scalable than ever before.

Convenience: Work from Anywhere, Anytime

• Since data and applications are stored in the cloud, users aren’t restricted to one specific device. You can switch between a laptop, tablet, or even a smartphone without losing access to your tools or files. This flexibility is especially useful for remote teams or professionals who travel frequently.
