Exploring AWS !!
Hello Connections, I shall be trying to help people out who want to learn AWS by sharing at least one service or article based on AWS per day. I have made some notes during my AWS learning journey which are in easy and understandable language, trying to share them with you guys.
Day 1:
Introduction to Cloud Computing
Cloud Computing - is when you use a computer/server which is provided to you by someone else. This server has to be accessed over internet by using a web based tool for personal or business server.
Virtualization - creation of a virtual version of something, such as OS, server, storage device or network resource. Virtualized compute environment over internet is cloud.
Cloud Computing = Virtualization + Internet
Advantages:
No Capital Expenditures or upfront cost
Highly available solution
Pay-as-you-go
Security
Getting a server is easy
Flexibility & Error shield
Advantages over on premises - controls servers as per traffic, as servers can be fluctuated.
