Simplified Cloud Computing Hat
AWS, Azure, GCP — What’s all the fuss?
Let's say you wish to start a bakery.
Option 1: Do it yourself:
Purchase the land.
Construct the bakery.
Purchase furniture, refrigerators, and ovens.
Employ personnel to fix and maintain equipment.
Expensive. Time-consuming. Risky.
Option 2: Hire a bakery that is ready to go You:
Rent should be paid according to the amount of space you require.
Utilize the existing, contemporary ovens and equipment.
Depending on your customers, scale up or down.
Quick. adaptable. Reasonably priced.
Cloud computing functions similarly to the second choice.
You rent computers (servers) from businesses like these rather than purchasing and maintaining them yourself.

Introducing the Big Three Players
Amazon Web Services, or AWS:
Consider it the technological equivalent of Amazon's massive online store. It is very flexible and provides a plethora of services, making it appropriate for all types of businesses, from small startups to large corporations.
Examples:
AWS is used by Netflix to stream movies.
AWS is used by Airbnb to manage millions of visitors.
Microsoft's Azure is comparable to a business office suite. Azure easily integrates and becomes a natural extension of a company's current setup if it already uses Microsoft products (such as Office, Windows, and Outlook).
Example:
Azure is frequently used by government organizations to handle data securely.
GCP (Google Cloud Platform):
Imagine Google’s research lab powering your business. GCP is especially strong when it comes to AI, data analytics, and machine learning. Great choice if you’re working with large amounts of data or want advanced AI capabilities.
Example:
Google Cloud is used by Spotify and YouTube to stream music and videos quickly.
Common Cloud Services
Compute (servers): This is comparable to renting potent PCs. Instead of purchasing actual hardware, you can use these servers to run your app or website.
Storage: To put it simply, cloud storage is the act of keeping your files on the internet. Any kind of data, including documents, videos, and images, can be stored and accessed from any location.
Databases: Databases aid in the management and organization of information, such as in the tracking of orders, product catalogs, and customer information.
Networking: This ties everything together so that users can swiftly and safely access your app or website from anywhere in the world.
AI and machine learning are intelligent technologies that aid in task automation or prediction-making. For instance, enabling voice assistants like Alexa or Siri or making product recommendations to clients.
With cloud computing, you rent computers online and only pay for what you use, rather than purchasing them.
If you're not tech-savvy, keep in mind that using the cloud is similar to renting fully furnished office space rather than starting from scratch.
