On-demand compute and storage as IaaS, PaaS and SaaS.
Cloud provides on-demand computing, storage and services (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS) with elastic scaling and pay-per-use. Providers: AWS, Azure, GCP. Concepts: regions, availability zones, serverless, managed databases, shared responsibility for security, cost control (FinOps).
A startup runs its API on managed containers and scales during traffic spikes.
Cloud computing gives on-demand resources, so teams can scale without buying hardware and can pay for what they use.

Cloud computing gives on-demand resources, so teams can scale without buying hardware and can pay for what they use.
Infrastructure as a service provides virtual machines and storage, platform as a service provides a runtime and tools, and software as a service provides finished applications.
Cost overrun, vendor dependence, data location and security configuration errors are the main concerns.
Typical applications include hosting a web application that handles variable traffic, storing and processing large sensor data sets in cloud storage and running a test environment that is created and removed on demand.
Study "Wireless networking" first (topic 72 of 104 in Software & Computing). It covers the groundwork this topic builds on.
Elasticity. Multi-tenancy. Vendor lock-in.
A startup runs its API on managed containers and scales during traffic spikes.
The next topic is "Relational databases", which builds directly on this one.
It is classed as Advanced in Software & Computing (topic 73 of 104). It is an advanced topic. It assumes you are comfortable with the intermediate topics in Software & Computing.
