Before you start learning about cloud computing, let’s discuss what “cloud” is and how the concept of" cloud" came into the picture.
What is the cloud?
These days, both tech and non-tech people frequently use the word “cloud”; this shows how the advent of the cloud has changed our lives. Everyone from manufacturing to IT services is using the cloud. So, what is it fundamentally?
