Week 1 Posting - Intro

Hello, I am Jake and in the next few weeks I will share some thoughts on the world of cloud computing, I have worked in a companies that uses both AWS and Azure, the following is my simplified definition of cloud computing.

Cloud computing, a buzzword in recent years and a template for future computer needs. What is cloud computing? Cloud computing is a modern solution for growing problem, people need to provide digital services and cloud computing is just a new, more efficient way of doing so. Cloud computing is nothing more than handing off the most difficult items to justify, cost of creating, maintaining and manning a server room to host the needed product. Many small companies need services such as websites, file backup or intranet core services, regardless of the size of the company the basics are needed across the board, it might make sense for a multi-million dollar company to have their own staff 24/7 to verify all the hardware is safe and running properly; however, most smaller companies take the renting out approach. By renting a “node” or server from another company it can save time and money.
