Imagine you’re in a meeting with a group of non-technical stakeholders, and the topic of cloud computing comes up. As soon as terms like “IaaS” or “containers” are mentioned, you notice a few blank stares around the room. Instead of diving deeper into the jargon, I decide to tell them a story. "Think of cloud computing like this: Imagine you own a small bakery. At first, you bake everything in your kitchen oven. But as your business grows, the kitchen can’t handle all the orders, and buying a bigger oven is expensive. So instead, you decide to rent space in a large bakery that has huge ovens and more equipment. Now, you can make more bread without having to invest in all the equipment yourself."

"Cloud is (a lot more than) just someone else’s computer". No wonder it needs some special terminology(jargon?) and know-how, but it doesn't mean your customer is obliged to learn and understand it. "Cloud computing jargon" should be used for the team internal technical discussions only. For customer communication -- translate it into the business value advantages the customer gets from a particular solution or technology.

Absolutely! Demystifying cloud terms is all about breaking them down into simple, relatable concepts. Use Analogies: I compare cloud services to familiar concepts. For example I liken cloud storage to renting a storage unit your data is safely stored elsewhere, accessible whenever you need it. Avoid Jargon: I stick to plain language. Instead of SaaS (Software as a Service) I say Think of it like using an app on your phone without needing to install anything. Visual Aids: When possible, I suggest diagrams or flowcharts. Visuals can make complex architectures more digestible. Real-World Examples: I share practical applications. For instance explaining how businesses use cloud services for things like data backup or running software remotely.

Quando você está lidando com confus?o em rela??o ao jarg?o da computa??o em nuvem, a chave é simplificar os termos técnicos e trazer exemplos do dia a dia para torná-los mais acessíveis para as partes interessadas n?o técnicas. Ao invés de falar sobre "infraestrutura como servi?o" (IaaS), por exemplo, você pode comparar com o aluguel de um espa?o em um prédio, onde o cliente usa apenas o espa?o que precisa, pagando de acordo com o uso. Use analogias e exemplos práticos para mostrar como essas solu??es se conectam às necessidades de negócios e como elas ajudam a resolver problemas reais, tornando o diálogo mais claro e colaborativo.

“Technology should simplify, not complicate.” Starting with this mindset: ?? Accessibility: Cloud computing is like having "technology on-demand," accessible anytime, anywhere with an internet connection. ?? Cost-efficiency: The "pay-as-you-go" model is similar to paying for utilities like electricity, where you only pay for what you use. ?? Scalability: Think of it as the ability to "grow or shrink" resources as needed, just like adjusting water flow. ?? Security: Your data is stored securely, akin to being in a high-tech bank vault. ?? Flexibility: Cloud enables work from anywhere, essentially putting the office in your pocket. Focus on the business value, using these analogies to connect with non-technical stakeholders.
