Generally speaking, cloud computing is recognized as a computing method, which allows flexible and scalable IT functions to be delivered to external users in the form of "services" over the Internet. There are three keywords: scalable, service and Internet, so cloud computing can deploy and deliver applications on the Internet, and can be expanded on demand.

In short, cloud computing is not what end users buy. In fact, end users should ignore and should not care whether applications are delivered using cloud computing. Cloud computing is a new type of application architecture adopted by enterprises in order to reduce infrastructure costs, improve efficiency, and solve capacity / scalability problems. The following quiz can help you determine whether your business has deployed real cloud computing:

Can end users set up infrastructure services or applications themselves without the help of IT personnel?

Are resources such as servers, storage, and networks considered as resource pools or isolated entities?

Are services and applications resilient? Can I automatically expand and order according to demand?

Can I automatically track the use of infrastructure or applications? How much computing power did it take? Can I track each user or department one by one?

Once you know what cloud computing is, it's important to emphasize that cloud computing is nothing.

Cloud computing is not server virtualization. There is an essential difference between the two architectures. technically, running or supporting cloud computing does not require server virtualization. Cloud computing does not lock in vendors: the cloud should be open and it can work with any type of infrastructure according to customer needs, thus supporting different types of virtual devices. Cloud is a new architecture, a new way to deliver IT services in a more flexible, efficient, and cost-effective way.
