Lessons Learned about Cloud
What is Cloud?
Think about like a Computer, which has a storage or processing power
and utilizing it, Which is present somewhere and
can be connected by Internet Connection.
In Reality, It is not just one computer.
It’s more like datacenters having server computers that we would be utilizing.
Example: Dropbox, iCloud, Amazon Web Services.
Why do we use Cloud?
Files that we upload to DropBox/iCloud are going to stored on Server Computers,
which is one of the racks in the datacenter.
What are the Benefits of using the Cloud?
Common Personal Uses:
Storing the data in Cloud, Backups, Sharing across different devices
(Home Computer, Mobile Devices, Work Computer) and access from different devices.
Common Enterprise Uses:
On-Premises Data Center: Costly, Takes time for Process of ordering, Installation,
Test them up, Install Operating Systems, Softwares and get them all Up and Running.
Disadvantages: Money is wasted if the resources and servers are not used.
Now, Cloud Services Solves the Problem:
As the user base increases, Cloud Service Providers automatically and instantly add servers any time without estimation of growth within 2 minutes with software
and up and running. When User base drops, Cloud Service Providers decommission the server and the company is no longer charged for the unused server. (On-Demand Basis)
I had worked on projects, where there was a migration from data centers to Google Cloud.
Now, I understand what is the purpose of having projects on the cloud.
