WHAT IS A CLOUD?
"The cloud" refers to servers that are accessed over the
Internet, and the software and databases that run on those
servers. Cloud servers are located in data centers all over
the world. By using cloud computing, users and companies
do not have to manage physical servers themselves or run
software applications on their own machines.

 What Is Cloud Computing?
Definition, Benefits, Types, and Trends

Cloud computing is defined as the use of hosted

services, such as data storage, servers, databases,
networking, and software over the internet. Since cloud
computing began, the world has witnessed an explosion
of cloud-based applications and services in IT, which
continue to expand. Almost every application we use
resides on the cloud, helping us save storage space,
expenses, and time. This article discusses the types of
cloud computing and 10 trends to watch out for.
WHAT IS CLOUD COMPUTING?
Cloud computing refers to the use of hosted services, such as
data storage, servers, databases, networking, and software over
the internet. The data is stored on physical servers, which are
maintained by a cloud service provider. Computer system
resources, especially data storage and computing power, are
available on-demand, without direct management by the user in
cloud computing.
CLOUD COMPUTING ARCHITECTURE
Instead of storing files on a storage device or hard drive, a user can save
them on cloud, making it possible to access the files from anywhere, as
long as they have access to the web. The services hosted on cloud can
be broadly divided into infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS), platform-as-a-
service (PaaS), and software-as-a-service (SaaS). Based on the
deployment model, cloud can also be classified as public, private, and
hybrid cloud.

Further, cloud can be divided into two different layers, namely, front-end
and back-end. The layer with which users interact is called the front-end
layer. This layer enables a user to access the data that has been stored in
cloud through cloud computing software.
TYPES OF CLOUD COMPUTING
Cloud computing can either be classified based on the deployment model or the type of service.
Based on the specific deployment model, we can classify cloud as public, private, and hybrid cloud.
At the same time, it can be classified as infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS), platform-as-a-service
(PaaS), and software-as-a-service (SaaS) based on the service the cloud model offers.

PUBLIC CLOUD PRIVATE CLOUD HYBRID CLOUD

PUBLIC CLOUD
Public cloud refers to computing services offered by third-party providers
over the internet. Unlike private cloud, the services on public cloud are
available to anyone who wants to use or purchase them. These services
could be free or sold on-demand, where users only have to pay per usage
for the CPU cycles, storage, or bandwidth they consume.

Public clouds can help businesses save on purchasing, managing, and

maintaining on-premises infrastructure since the cloud service provider is
responsible for managing the system. They also offer scalable RAM and
flexible bandwidth, making it easier for businesses to scale their storage
needs.
PRIVATE CLOUD
In a private cloud, the computing services are offered over a private IT network for
the dedicated use of a single organization. Also termed internal, enterprise, or
corporate cloud, a private cloud is usually managed via internal resources and is
not accessible to anyone outside the organization. Private cloud computing
provides all the benefits of a public cloud, such as self-service, scalability, and
elasticity, along with additional control, security, and customization.

Private clouds provide a higher level of security through company firewalls and
internal hosting to ensure that an organization’s sensitive data is not accessible to
third-party providers. The drawback of private cloud, however, is that the
organization becomes responsible for all the management and maintenance of
the data centers, which can prove to be quite resource-intensive.
HYBRID CLOUD
Hybrid cloud uses a combination of public and private cloud features. The “best of
both worlds” cloud model allows a shift of workloads between private and public
clouds as the computing and cost requirements change. When the demand for
computing and processing fluctuates, hybrid cloudOpens a new window allows
businesses to scale their on-premises infrastructure up to the public cloud to
handle the overflow while ensuring that no third-party data centers have access to
their data.

In a hybrid cloud model, companies only pay for the resources they use
temporarily instead of purchasing and maintaining resources that may not be used
for an extended period. In short, a hybrid cloud offers the benefits of a public
cloud without its security risks.

 Ada Lovelace: The First
Computer Programmer
Long ago, before the Internet, smartphones, or even TVs, there lived a
brilliant woman named Ada Lovelace. Ada was born in London on
December 10 in 1815. She was the daughter of a famous poet, Lord
Byron, and her mother loved mathematics. Ada grew up loving both poetry
and math, a perfect mix for a future inventor!

Ada was a curious child with a big imagination. She loved machines and
often tried to invent new ones. At 17, she met Charles Babbage, a
mathematician and inventor. Babbage was working on a special machine
called the “Analytical Engine.” It was like an early computer, but it worked
with gears and steam!
Babbage's machine was amazing. It could do math problems much faster than people. Ada was
fascinated. She thought, "What if this machine could do more than just math?" This question
changed everything.

In 1843, Ada had a big task. She translated an article about Babbage's machine from French to
English. But Ada did more than just translate. She added her own notes, which were longer than
the original article!

These notes were very special. Ada explained how the Analytical Engine could work on different
kinds of problems, not just math. She wrote instructions for the machine. These instructions are
what we now call a “program.”
Ada's program was for a math problem called the Bernoulli numbers. It was
the first time anyone had written a program for a machine. That's why Ada
Lovelace is often called the first computer programmer; she was the first
person to see that a machine could do all sorts of things with the right
instructions.

Sadly, Babbage's Analytical Engine was never completed; but Ada's ideas
lived on. She believed that machines could create music and art, not just do
math. She even thought machines could play chess! Her vision was like what
computers do today.

Ada Lovelace died young, at 36 years old, but her ideas were very important.
People later used her notes to help build modern computers. Ada showed the
world that imagination and science can work together.
Today, Ada Lovelace is a hero to many people who work with computers.
Every year, on the second Tuesday of October, we celebrate Ada Lovelace
Day. It's a day to remember her and all the women in science, technology,
engineering, and math.

Ada’s story is not just about math and machines. It’s about a dream. Ada
dreamed about a world where machines could do amazing things. Now, we
live in that world; we have computers that help us in so many ways. And it all
started with Ada's dream and her program.

So, the next time you use a computer, think of Ada Lovelace. She was a
pioneer, a dreamer, and the very first computer programmer. Her story
reminds us that with curiosity, imagination, and hard work, we can turn
dreams into reality.
