Cloud Fundamentals: Virtualization

In our day-to-day life, we use a lot of applications like Google Photos, Gmail, and so on. All these applications come under the Software as a Service (SAAS) category.

Before going further, I want you to understand how these cloud providers provide virtual access to their resources. How is user privacy maintained? And how do multiple users use the same infrastructure? These questions are at the foundation of cloud computing. If you ever want to start your cloud computing service, these will be the initial questions you need to answer.

So, think about some answers to these questions, and let’s validate those. If you can’t think of any solutions now, don’t worry. We will uncover all the secrets behind cloud computing.

While there is no specified way of doing it, and every provider has a different implementation, the underlying idea is the same.
