This video changed my life, Say thank you to your mother for giving birth to you.
This made a lot more sense than a 2 hour 50 slide PowerPoint lecture
Just to be clear to people who are confused, no your website is not in the literal cloud that's in the sky, your website is still inside a server, but it is a remote server managed by a third party, the business pays rent for the traffic that comes to the server, it's called cloud computing because it uses the internet, Your data travels through the air, on the internet, to the server, and back to you, that's why its called cloud computing. Not because the servers are in the cloud.
I saw this video years ago... I still think that this is the best explanation of cloud computing technology ever! Effective and understandable. Thumbs up!
It's impressive that this is still relevant and accurate more than 10 years later.
I can't believe this is ten 10 years ago and I'm just starting to know this. 🤷🏼♂️
watching in late 2019. Thought this was gonna be a meme.
In 2020 just the beginning makes sense already
This may be 11 years old, but you just answered all the questions I needed answered! Thank you so much!!!😃
Wow you nailed, not to mentioned that amazing way you were able to explain it
Awesome explanation you guys. Heck, I'm sitting here watching this for a class exam (with a section on web hosting). Although I already knew what cloud hosting was, I am sure anyone with no prior knowledge can have quite a good understanding after watching the video. Awesome!
This is the best video explaining something in the history of mankind period.
Lot of hard work can be seen in this video , very well explained in small time. Thanks!
You put your data in the hands of many companies every time you use the internet. Online banking for example, is an example of a type of cloud (heavily secured, obviously). Cloud providers are, in essence, large data centers with thousands of servers. But cloud providers offer management layers to make it a better, more cost effective experience.
And I’m getting this now, thanks YouTube for the 11 year late recommendation 😂😂😂
No one can explain Cloud better than this, it amazing.
That's humorous but great job ,was under standable
wow, very nice content. hats off to you for putting so much efforts in making this video
11 years later...Best video out there! 2019
WOW i have been sitting scratching my head from hours, after watching this finally i got rid of my itch THANKS...great explanation
