What is Compute?

What is compute?

In cloud computing, "compute" refers to the processing power and resources provided by cloud platforms to run applications, perform calculations, and execute programs. It involves virtualized hardware like CPUs, memory, and storage that can scale dynamically to meet the demands of workloads. Cloud compute resources are offered in various forms such as virtual machines (VMs), containers, and serverless computing, allowing businesses to handle tasks without managing physical servers, ensuring scalability, flexibility, and efficiency.

What is cloud computing?

Cloud computing is the delivery of computing services—including servers, storage, databases, networking, software, and analytics—over the internet (“the cloud”). It allows businesses and individuals to access and use technology resources on demand, without needing to manage physical infrastructure directly.

Cloud computing is categorized into three main service models:

• Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS): Provides virtualized computing resources over the internet.
• Platform as a Service (PaaS) : Offers hardware and software tools for developing applications.
• Software as a Service (SaaS): Delivers software applications via the cloud.

Key features of cloud computing include:

• On-demand availability: Resources can be accessed as needed, without human intervention.
• Scalability: Easily scale up or down based on workload demands.
• Cost-efficiency: Pay only for the resources used, reducing the need for large upfront infrastructure investments.
• Remote access: Services are accessible from anywhere with an internet connection.
• Security : Cloud providers typically offer robust security features such as encryption and multi-factor authentication.
