Cloud computing means that by distributing computing across a large number of distributed computers rather than on local computers or remote servers, enterprise data centers will run more like they do on the Internet. This enables enterprises to switch resources to the applications they need, accessing computers and storage systems as needed.

It's like switching from the old single-generator model to a centralized power supply model. This means computing power can circulate as a commodity, just like natural gas, electricity, and electricity, both easily available and cheap. The biggest difference is that it is transmitted over the Internet.

Cloud computing generally accepted characteristics are as follows:

1) Very large scale

"Cloud" has a considerable scale, Google cloud computing has more than 1 million servers, Amazon, IBM, Microsoft, Yahoo and other "clouds" have hundreds of thousands of servers. Enterprise private clouds typically have hundreds of thousands of servers. The cloud gives users unprecedented computing power.

(2) Virtualization

Cloud computing enables users to access application services anywhere using a variety of endpoints. The requested resources come from the "cloud" rather than fixed physical entities. Apps run somewhere in the cloud, but users don't really need to know or worry about where they run. As long as we have laptops or cell phones, we can use web services to do whatever we need, including tasks like supercomputing.

(3) High reliability

"Cloud" uses measures such as data multi-copy fault tolerance and isomorphic interchangeability of computing nodes to ensure high reliability of services. Cloud computing is more reliable than local computers.

What is Cloud Computing? Cloud computing has multiple functions

(4) Generality

Cloud computing is not targeted at specific applications. Powered by the "cloud," it can build ever-changing applications. The same "cloud" can support different application operations simultaneously.

(5) High scalability

The cloud can scale dynamically to meet the needs of growing applications and users.

(6) on-demand services

A cloud is a vast pool of resources that you buy on demand; clouds can be billed like tap water, electricity, or gas.

7) Extremely cheap

Because the cloud's special fault tolerance measures allow it to be formed using extremely inexpensive nodes, automated centralized management of the cloud eliminates the increasing cost of managing large enterprise data centers. Compared with traditional systems, the versatility of the cloud greatly improves the utilization of resources, enabling users to fully enjoy the low-cost advantages of the cloud. Completing a task that has cost tens of thousands of dollars in the past few months usually takes hundreds of dollars and a few days.

Cloud computing can completely change people's future lives, but at the same time, we must also pay attention to environmental issues, so that we can truly contribute to human progress, rather than simply improve technology.

(8) Potential hazards

Cloud computing services provide storage services in addition to computing services. But cloud computing services are currently monopolized by private institutions (corporations) that can only provide commercial credit. Government agencies and commercial organizations, especially those with sensitive data such as banks, should be vigilant enough to choose cloud computing services. Once commercial users use cloud computing services provided by private organizations on a large scale, no matter how strong their technological advantages are, it is inevitable that these private organizations will hold society hostage to the importance of "data (information)." For the information society,"information" is crucial. On the other hand, data in cloud computing is confidential to users other than the data owner, but there is really no secret from the business organization that provides cloud computing. All of these potential risks are important prerequisites for businesses and government agencies to consider when choosing cloud computing services, especially those provided by foreign institutions.
