Key Technologies Powering Cloud Computing 🔧🖥️

Intermediate

Cloud infrastructure relies on several core technologies:

  • Virtualization: Enables multiple virtual machines (VMs) on a single physical host, optimizing resource use.
  • Containerization: Lightweight, portable units (like Docker) that package applications with dependencies.
  • Distributed Systems: Systems like Hadoop and Spark facilitate large-scale data processing.
  • Automation & Orchestration: Tools such as Kubernetes automate deployment, scaling, and management of containers.
  • Networking: Advanced networking ensures secure and efficient connectivity across distributed data centers.
