Cloud Computing
In simplest terms cloud computing is the delivery of hosted services with the help of internet. You really do not need your own in house computing infrastructure to run your business, but rather opt for the cloud technology. It promises many benefits to the users like:
- Elasticity: You can scale up with the increase in your computing needs and also vice versa.
- Self-service provisioning: You can spin –up your computing resources for any workload.
- Pay per use: You need to pay for what resources and workloads you use and not the infrastructure have to be maintained.
Cloud computing can basically categorized into three: Private, public and Hybrid which you can more clearly understand by enrolling for cloud computing courses in Bangalore and other places. Each of them has their own benefits along with certain restrictions. With the arrival of hybrid cloud in the market, users started questioning the need of private cloud and the same is now again true for hybrid cloud with the arrival of public clouds. Public clouds are getting popular, but Red Hat has come up with a unique tool of Open Hybrid Cloud solution.
