Cloud Computing Tutorial for Beginners

Cloud computing is the on-demand availability of computer system resources, especially data storage and computing power, without direct active management by the user. 

Advantages of cloud computing:

• High flexible 
• Ease scalable 
• Cost-effective 
• Teams can collaborate from widespread locations
• Automatic software updates 
• Rapid implementation
• Data can be accessed and share anywhere over the Internet

Types of cloud computing

• Software as a service (SaaS) is the delivery of fully functional products to end users. 
• Platform as a service (PaaS) is somewhere in between, giving developers the building blocks to create apps while freeing them from tedious back-end concerns. 
• Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) provides secure network and storage capacity to system administrators.
