Understanding Cloud Concepts and Terminology: Azure 0 To Hero Series - Day 1

TLDRThis video is the first day of the Azure 0 To Hero series, where we dive into the basics of cloud computing, common vocabulary, and terminology. It serves as a prerequisite for anyone starting with any cloud platform. The concepts covered include an introduction to cloud, public vs. private cloud, and key terms like API and virtual machine.

Key insights

🌩️Cloud computing is the practice of accessing and managing resources over the internet, instead of using local servers or personal devices.

🌍Public cloud refers to services and infrastructure provided to the general public by cloud providers, like AWS, Azure, and GCP.

🏢Private cloud refers to services and infrastructure used exclusively by a single organization or company.

🗄️Hybrid cloud combines public and private clouds, allowing data and applications to be shared between them.

💻Virtual machines (VMs) are software emulations of physical computers, providing an environment for running applications without depending on specific hardware.
