What is cloud computing?

“

Let's imagine a group of friends who, after several planning talks, have decided to create a start-up. This start-up is a store that sells physical products. The company's immediate goal is to adopt the technology needed to open an online e-commerce store. However, if they wanted to acquire the necessary hardware to carry out this project, it'd cost too much money. That's not counting all the other related expenses, such as electrical power, software licenses, and so on. On the other hand, the agility that cloud computing gives us is groundbreaking. For instance, the company could use the cloud and some of its already available services to implement the required functionality. For example, database services to store information, identity to allow or disallow access to the online store, maps and geographic information for real-time location, artificial intelligence and machine learning for data predictions, or perhaps the use of cognitive services and data analysis to identify areas of improvement in its operations, and even connection with third-party systems. All this at much lower cost. Therefore, thanks to agility of cloud computing, we can adapt quickly to market changes. This agility, without a doubt, is and will be a great differentiator in any business. And finally, you only pay for what you use. So most of the time there's no need to make up-front investments. As you can hear, cloud computing skills are paramount for any professional nowadays.
