#51: Cloud computing: more than renting servers per minute
Manage episode 303271782 series 2680464
Cloud computing is a broad term. In general, it refers to using hardware and software managed by someone else. Typically with very flexible pricing: we only pay for what we use and for the time we use it. We don’t build data centers ourselves. We don’t buy large servers and provision them. We simply rent a server on a per-minute basis. The cloud provider has a pool of servers and they are reused and recycled. Once we are done, we no longer pay and some other customer can use that same server. Just like we don’t own a taxi. We barely pay for kilometers and minutes. When the server breaks for some reason, the provider takes care of repairs and replacements. We simply, almost transparently, get a new machine.
