Everything You Need to Know about the Cloud and Cloud Computing, Part I

摘要

It’s fair to say that this article covers a lot: a bit about what makes up the cloud, the different methods of deployment (public, private and hybrid) and the types of services exposed by the top cloud-service providers, followed by a general overview of how the cloud is designed, how it functions and how that functionality enables the features we enjoy using today. In Part II of this series, I further explore the cloud using real examples in AWS. So, if you haven’t done so already, be sure to register an account over at AWS. Charges to that account may apply.
