What is Cloud Computing?

Cloud computing means:

Using computers, servers, storage, and software over the internet instead of
your own system

Simple Definition:

Cloud computing is the delivery of IT services through the internet.

Easy Example:

 Before: Store files in your computer


 Now: Store files in Google Drive or AWS S3

You are using cloud!

What is a Server?

A server is:

A powerful computer that provides services to other computers (clients)

Example:

 When you open a website → request goes to server


 Server sends data (HTML, CSS, images)

Real-time Example:

 Facebook server stores your photos


 YouTube server streams videos
Server Type Height Use Case
1U Server 1.75 inches Web servers, cloud workloads
2U Server 3.5 inches Databases, virtualization
4U Server 7 inches AI, storage, high-performance computing

What is a Data Center?

A data center is:

A place where many servers are stored together

Features:

 1000+ servers
 24/7 power supply
 Cooling systems
 High security

Example:

Companies like Amazon have huge data centers worldwide.


Types of Cloud

1️.Public Cloud

Services are available to everyone via internet

Example:

 Amazon Web Services


 Microsoft Azure

Use case:

 Virtual machine

Simple:

You rent a computer

2️.PaaS (Platform as a Service)

You get platform to build apps

No server management, only coding

[Link] (Software as a Service)

Ready-made software via internet

You manage:

 Nothing

Example:

 Gmail
 Google Docs

Simple:

Just use the software

Easy Comparison Table
