Understanding network protocols in multi-cloud

We came across a lot of acronyms and terms in this chapter. If you're not a network engineer, some of these acronyms might not directly ring a bell. Yet, things such as BGP, ASN, and TLS are crucial in understanding how connections work. The good news is, any public cloud is internet-based. Without the internet, we wouldn't have the cloud in the first place. So, protocols such as IP, HTTP, and HTTPS are really crucial. But what about the rest? In terms of cloud connectivity, there is quite some more that needs to be taken into consideration. After all, we do want our connections to be secure and only going in the direction we want them to go. On top of that, we have to enable connections to set up communication between targeted resources. That requires these resources to speak the same language.

Cloud computing is hosted over the internet through a network connection. The required and crucial protocols are as follows:
