What is cloud computing?
Cloud computing is a way of accessing computing resources via the internet. It means businesses only use what they need when they need it, so it’s more cost-efficient than traditional computing. It also offers new and more effective ways for businesses to manage computer-based processes and software development.
So, what is ‘the cloud’? When people talk about the cloud, they’re generally referring to hyperscale cloud computing providers (such as AWS).
