Introduction to AWS & the Cloud
What cloud computing is, its benefits, deployment models, and the shared responsibility model.
What is cloud computing?
Slide 1 / 5Cloud computing is the on-demand delivery of IT resources — servers, storage, databases, networking, software — over the internet, with pay-as-you-go pricing.
Instead of buying and running your own data center, you rent exactly what you need from a provider such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), and give it back when you're done.
AWS launched in 2006 and is the largest cloud provider, offering over 200 services from data centers around the world.
