In this chapter, we looked at what Cloud computing means and saw how the Cloud has completely revolutionized how we can access and manage our servers and applications on the internet. We then walked through a list of different technologies offered on the Cloud by different providers.
We also learned how to plan our Cloud infrastructure and looked at the different steps involved in building our own Hadoop cluster on the Cloud. Finally, we saw different ways of storing and accessing our data on the Cloud.
In the next chapter we will take a look at some strategies and best practices to deploy your Hadoop cluster.
