Basics of Cloud Computing

Cloud computing refers to the accessibility of computer system resources on demand, without requiring direct, hands-on management by the user. It commonly denotes data centers accessible via the Internet for numerous users. The primary cloud types include enterprise clouds, public clouds, and hybrid clouds. Enterprise clouds, sometimes referred to as private clouds, typically serve only single organization, whereas public clouds cater to multiple organizations. A hybrid cloud is a cloud computing solution that combines elements of public, private, and community cloud services. Cloud computing primarily depends on resource sharing to attain economies of scale and consistency. This book presents the complex subject of cloud computing in the most comprehensible and easy to understand language. The various sub-fields of cloud computing along with technological progress that have future implications are glanced at herein. This book is an essential guide for both academicians and those who wish to pursue this discipline further.
