Cloud computing is a popular buzzword in the tech industry. But have you wondered why it’s so popular?

Before that, lets first understand what is cloud computing?

Cloud computing is the delivery of computing services such as servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics, intelligence, and more.
It is available over the internet( “The cloud”) to offer faster innovation, flexible resources, and economies of scale.

Okay, now that we know what cloud computing is, the next question is why cloud computing?

Cloud computing has lot of advantages. They are:

  1. We don’t need to manage the data centers.
  2. We don’t need to buy physical hardware upfront.
  3. We can create resources on-demand on the cloud.
  4. Pay for how much you use (prime advantage).
  5. It’s the future of computing.

I hope this quick overview of cloud computing was helpful.
