Day 01: What is Cloud Computing? Benefits of Cloud Computing

What's cloud

• Delivery of computing services over the Internet using a pay-as-you-go pricing model.
• Pay-as-you-go: You're billed only for what you use.
• The real value of the cloud: speed
• A foundational building block of everything from digital transformation to the next big startup.

Why move to the cloud

• Move faster and innovate in ways that were once nearly impossible
• Two-trends in world:
• While migrating your existing apps to virtual machines is a good start, the cloud is more than just "a different place to run your virtual machines".

Benefits of Cloud Computing

• Not an all-or-nothing service

• Scaling can be done manually or automatically based on e.g.

Elastic

• Cloud computing system can automatically add & remove resources to meet the current demand.
• E.g.

Current

• Eliminates the burdens of maintaining software patches, hardware setup, upgrades, and other IT management tasks
• The computer hardware is maintained and upgraded by the cloud provider

Reliable

• Cloud provider offers data backup, disaster recovery, and data replication services
• Redundancy is often built into cloud services architecture

Global

• Fully redundant datacenters located in various regions all over the globe.
• Enables local presence close to your customers to give them the best response time
• Replicate your services into multiple regions for redundancy and locality
• Select a specific region to ensure you meet data-residency and compliance laws for your customers.
