Starting My Cloud Computing Journey:[Day One]

?️ Starting My Cloud Computing Journey:[Day 1]

Today, I began learning Cloud Computing, and I’m already fascinated by how this technology transforms how data and infrastructure are managed.

? Key Takeaways from Today's Class:

? Cloud Computing allows data storage and resource management over the internet no need to handle hardware or networks manually.

? Some top cloud providers include AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, IBM Cloud, and Alibaba Cloud.

? We also explored the Core Characteristics of Cloud Computing:

✅ Scalability – Easily grow or reduce resources based on demand

✅ Vertical & Horizontal Scaling – Scale up (more power) or out (more machines)

✅ Elasticity – Automatically adjust resources in real time

✅ Agility – Rapid deployment and development with less setup time

✅ Fault Tolerance – Systems stay running even when components fail

✅ Disaster Recovery – Ability to restore services after unexpected failures

✅ High Availability – Continuous uptime with minimal interruption

I learned about Capital Expenditure and Operating Expenditure 

? CapEx vs OpEx

CapEx (Capital Expenditure): Upfront investment in physical infrastructure (like servers and data centers).

OpEx (Operating Expenditure): Ongoing costs for services and subscriptions (like cloud usage).

➡️ Cloud computing shifts businesses from CapEx-heavy spending to more flexible, pay-as-you-go OpEx models.

? Data Center Anatomy

A Data Center is a physical facility housing servers, storage systems, network equipment, and power systems.

? Network Performance & Latency

Bandwidth is the maximum data transfer capacity of a network.

Latency is the time it takes for data to travel from source to destination.

I’m excited to grow in this space and will keep sharing my progress. If you're also on a tech learning journey, let’s connect
