Computer networks have been upgraded over the last few decades. From a small group of connected intranet instances to the world of the internet today, networking has come a long way. With the advent of the internet, we've seen numerous novel developments, such as cloud computing and distributed computing models. While both these terms appear different, computing models have been developed to bring them together to build the next generation of computing models that provide rapid execution. The journey from conservative central processing models to the era of distributed cloud computing has been enormously progressive, both in terms of the scale of processing data and resource utilization across internet working models.
In this chapter, we will cover the following:
- What is cloud computing?
- Features of cloud computing
- Cloud versus distributed...
