Frequently asked questions

What is cloud computing? 

Cloud computing refers to the group of computing services that are accessed remotely through the internet versus through physical sources. There are 3 cloud computing categories:

• Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) is like conventional IT resources in that it allows you to store data, run applications, and network, but it’s available on demand via the internet. AWS is an example of IaaS.
• Platform as a service (PaaS) allows developers to create their own applications without having to build a backend infrastructure. Microsoft Azure App Services is an example of PaaS.
• Software as a services (SaaS) is a full application that is hosted, maintained, and updated virtually by the provider. Microsoft 365 and Shopify are examples of SaaS.

Is cloud computing a good career?
