Cloud Computing In 6 Minutes.

Guessing there are people out there that hear the term cloud computing and they shake their head as if they know what the person is talking about.  In less than 6 minutes this video will get you up to speed on how cloud computing uses the internet to store and manage data.  This video will take you through the basic concepts of cloud computing so you have a foundation to start learning more.

If you are involved with cloud computing in any way this video is extremely basic for you but there could be benefit to sharing it.  Have you been trying to get an idea heard about cloud computing but “leadership” just doesn’t get it.  By sharing a simple video like this one leadership may better understand the benefits of cloud computing and how this is the future.

Cloud computing is a model of computing in which users access and use shared computing resources over the internet, rather than using their own local computing resources. These resources, which can include servers, storage, and applications, are provided by third-party providers, known as cloud providers, and are accessed on a pay-as-you-go basis.

Here is what artificial intelligence says about cloud computing.

Cloud computing has several key benefits, including:

  1. Scalability: Cloud computing allows users to scale their computing resources up or down as needed, without having to invest in and manage their own infrastructure.
  2. Cost savings: Cloud computing allows users to pay only for the resources they use, rather than having to invest in and maintain their own infrastructure. This can result in significant cost savings for users.
  3. Increased collaboration: Cloud computing allows users to share resources and data with others, enabling greater collaboration and flexibility.
  4. Improved security: Cloud providers typically have robust security measures in place to protect users’ data and resources, which can be more effective than what many organizations could provide on their own.

Overall, cloud computing is a powerful model of computing that has transformed the way that organizations and individuals access and use computing resources.

Cloud Computing Quotes

  • “Digital technology, pervasively, is getting embedded in every place: every thing, every person, every walk of life is being fundamentally shaped by digital technology — it is happening in our homes, our work, our places of entertainment. It’s amazing to think of a world as a computer. I think that’s the right metaphor for us as we go forward.” ~Satya Nadella, Microsoft CEO.
  • “Much of what we do with machine learning happens beneath the surface. Machine learning drives our algorithms for demand forecasting, product search ranking, product and deals recommendations, merchandising placements, fraud detection, translations, and much more. Though less visible, much of the impact of machine learning will be of this type — quietly but meaningfully improving core operations.” ~Jeff Bezos, Amazon CEO.
  • “If someone asks me what cloud computing is, I try not to get bogged down with definitions. I tell them that, simply put, cloud computing is a better way to run your business.” ~Marc Benioff, Salesforce CEO.
  • “Today, computing mainly automates things for you, but when we connect all these things, you can truly start assisting people in a more meaningful way. If I go and pick up my kids, it would be good for my car to be aware that my kids have entered the car and change the music to something that’s appropriate for them.” ~Sundar Pichai, Google CEO.
  • “Every kid coming out of school now thinks he can be the next Mark Zuckerberg, and with these new technologies like cloud computing, he actually has a shot.” ~Marc Andreessen.
