What is Cloud Computing
In the simplest terms, Cloud Computing is when you use a computer/server which is provided to you by someone else. This server has to be accessed over the internet by using a web-based tool for personal or business use. Cloud computing is named so because the data and applications exist on a cloud of Web servers. Cloud computing is a technology that uses the internet and central remote servers to maintain data and applications. It allows consumers and businesses to use applications without installation and access their files on any computer with an internet connection. AWS, Azure, and GCP are the major Cloud Providers worldwide! Amazon owns AWS, and Microsoft owns Azure, whereas, Google owns GCP.
