What Is Cloud Computing - Understanding the basics.
Lets visualize Internet as a virtual ‘space’ connecting users from all over the globe, imagine it as a cloud. It shares information by the way of networks.
Cloud computing is sharing resources, software and information through a network, an internet connection in this case. Information and data is stored on physical or virtual servers, which are maintained and controlled by a cloud computing provider, such as Amazon and their AWS product. You store your data on a space provided by them on the big cloud like many others who would be storing their data on the space provided to them, via an Internet connection.
Cloud-based computing is basically a way to increase capacity, enhance functionality or add additional services on demand. You dont have to bear infrastructure costs altogether again or worry about the support staff extension.
In very very simple words, think of an almirah with n number of shelves for n number of kids. Each kid is assigned his own space and resources like shelf separators or baskets. If a kid has more stuff in future, you needn't build a new almirah, you just have to increase the space and the storage resources given to him. In cloud computing case, its a virtual space with resources and requires internet connection for storage and access.
