CLOUD COMPUTING FUNDAMENTALS

Introduction

The objective of this project is to be able to distinguish between several service provider and choose the best one by comparing them.

Project's Description

We have carried out a research to understand more about cloud computing background and all the criteria that is important on them. We also compared top 3 cloud computing service providers (Amazon EC2, Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure) and choose the best one from our view. 

Cloud computing can be defined as delivery of various services over the Internet that provide tools and applications such as databases, servers and software (Frankenfield J., 2020).

Reflection

After this project, I gained understanding about cloud computing. At this time, I might not use knowledge I get from this project but in future, I am sure there will be time I need to evaluate cloud computing service provider before choose one. I will apply my insights from this project so that I able to use the worthy service provider for my work.
