4. What does “Cloud Computing”
mean?
Cloud computing is the on-demand availability of
computer system resources (especially data
storage and computing power) without direct
active management by the user. The term is
generally used to describe data centers available
to many users over the Internet
Reference:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_computin
9. Ubiquitous
The cloud is always reachable
from anywhere, any time, any
device
Scalable
You can add new features and
thousands of users without breaking
a sweat
Integrated
Security and other services talk
to each other for full visibility
Comprehensive
The Cloud scans every byte –
ingress and egress – including SSL
& CDN
Intelligent
The cloud learns from every user and
connection; any new threat is blocked for
all
Important facets of
cloud

37. DON’T learn cloud, but understand the CS
fundamentals
End of the day, majority workloads are based on x86/64
architecture mostly with Linux as the OS backbone
PS: Yes, there’s AMD, Windows etc…
Always think in building blocks of compute, storage, memory
& networking but with different names
GCP Compute, AWS EC2, Azure Virtual MachineGCP CloudStorage, AWS S3, Azure Blob
Firestore, DynamoDB, CosmosDB BigQuery, Redshift, Synapse Analytics
Think of cloud as a physical entity (servers) behind an API
endpoint
GCP, AWS, Azure is NOT “cloud” but services defined by a
public API
