What is Cloud Computing? Everything You Need to Know

---

Cloud computing briefly, for computers and other devices, that can be used at any time and Internet-based IT services that provide shared computer resources among users.
It is the general name of the system that users can access from anywhere with internet.

and there are three types of service;

1) SaaS – Software as a Service

It is also called application cloud. Cloud infrastructure, various software over the web and app (eg e-mail) is the cloud system user- part. Google Drive and Salesforce CRM is an example of software as a service.

2) PaaS – Platform as a Service

It provides a virtual service environment for the user to develop and deliver new manageable applications. The infrastructure, environment and other services related to the developed application are provided by the cloud service provider.
is provided. A cloud service provider (e.g. Force.com, Google App Engine, Windows Azure) The application developed on the platform is only developed due to the lack of standards can be used on. Application management is performed by the service provider and the final user only manages data.

3) IaaS – Infrastructure as a Service

It is also referred to as resource cloud. Dynamic data providing secure access over the network storage (e.g. Amazon S3, SQL Azure), virtual provisioning of processor resources (for example, Amazon EC2, Zimory, Elastichosts) and services such as network services, cloud computing infrastructure service examples. The management of the application and data belongs to the end user.

Let’s take a look at the Development Models of Cloud Computing;

1) Public Cloud

A cloud technology established with servers on the Internet. In small and medium-sized companies. As an example of this model, where you pay as you use, you use e-mails can be displayed.

and after all this, let’s take a quick look at the FUTURE OF CLOUD COMPUTING TECHNOLOGY

1) Artificial Intelligence Will Come to the Fore

Continuous innovations in cloud computing will push artificial intelligence and IoT forward in the next decade and beyond. will take it out. These innovations will support the developing technologies and will help different types of mobile and home appliances. will help them adapt to platforms and devices.

For example, today’s mobile devices require too much time and money to analyze unstructured data. requires processing power. Therefore, these devices slow down the response time of artificial intelligence and It has to send it to servers in the cloud. As a result, industry experts predicts that he will constantly use inference in the future.

The inference is that AI learns in the cloud and applies the knowledge gained to real-life problems. is the place. This allows the device to categorize photos by content, instant response to voice commands. and set cameras to capture objects in different shooting conditions.

2) Creating a Digital Priority Infrastructure

By 2050, the world population will reach approximately 10 billion, with the largest numbers in urban centers. will intensify. This will increase the need for advanced digital solutions to manage the population.

The cloud is expected to provide digital infrastructure for smart cities. This includes automated and connected vehicles, smart parking lots and elevators, efficient farms and power plants, and better trains and subways are included. Thanks to the cloud’s ability to store and analyze data, all this is more secure and It will be easy to manage.

Additionally, companies will have access to AI, data analytics and other capabilities as a service.

3) Managing Data

Statistics on big data production show that 2.3 trillion gigabytes of data are created every day and by 2020 It shows that 40 zettabytes of data will be created in 2018. This high volume of data has three main challenges. This leads to: efficient storage, processing and management of data.

The cloud provides a solution to these three challenges. With the cloud, data is transformed into small data and virtual data as managed. A smaller data footprint enables organizations to manage big data in three ways. It will help improve:

1. Apps will need less time to process data

2. Data will be more secure and easier to manage as the cloud is centralized

3. The results of data analysis will be more accurate

4) Serverless Architecture

Building applications and systems that scale or fail over in today’s environment It takes a significant amount of time and resources to do so. As a result, serverless architecture, It is designed to provide developers with a fast way to build systems and applications.

The platform dynamically determines how much infrastructure is needed and then the system or automatically provides the infrastructure to support the application.

Matt Riley, CEO and Co-Founder of Swiftype on the future of Cloud Computing Technology:

“Ten years from now, every business will operate primarily in the cloud and will be more flexible but more will pave the way for productive and efficient working methods. Hardware won’t be a problem in ten years software will fix the problem. “

What this means for businesses is that all their teams interact, no matter where they are in the world is a workspace. This also applies to enterprises’ hardware, software and personnel means they can outsource their computing power instead of investing.
