Selected Topic for Final Project

CLOUD COMPUTING

Cloud computing is the delivery of multiple services through the Internet. These resources include tools and applications like data storage, servers, databases, networking, and software. Rather than keeping files on a proprietary hard drive or local storage device, cloud-based storage makes it possible to save them to a remote database. As long as an electronic device has access to the web, it has access to the data and the software programs to run it. Cloud computing is a popular option for people and businesses for a number of reasons including cost savings, increased productivity, speed and efficiency, performance, and security.

A fundamental concept behind cloud computing is that the location of the service, and many of the details such as the hardware or operating system on which it is running, are largely irrelevant to the user. The cloud’s main appeal is to reduce the time to market of applications that need to scale dynamically. Increasingly, however, developers are drawn to the cloud by the abundance of advanced new services that can be incorporated into applications, from machine learning to internet of things (IoT) connectivity.

My workplace Eco-system is currently cloud based as we have teams across the world who utilizes the services anytime/anywhere they want. Our database/application servers are spread across nation and stand-up servers are placed strategically across the nation as a part of disaster recovery plan. This project gives me an opportunity to dig deep and understand the cloud policies and processes in our cloud based ecosystem.
