What Is Cloud Computing? A Beginner's Guide
Understand cloud computing, common services and why websites and apps use remote infrastructure.
The basic idea
Cloud computing means using computing resources over a network instead of relying only on hardware you own. Those resources can include storage, servers, databases and software services.
Common examples
Cloud storage, website hosting, online databases and streaming services are familiar examples. The underlying infrastructure may be distributed across multiple data centers.
Why it matters
Cloud services can make it easier to scale a website or application and reduce the need to maintain physical servers yourself. Costs, performance and control vary by provider and service.
