Understanding the Cloud 💭
You know, back in the day, companies had to buy and look after their own servers and stuff. It was a big hassle and cost a ton of money. Plus, if they wanted to try something new, it was a real headache. 😓 Then, more and more people started using the internet, and suddenly, everyone needed more and more of these server things. But keeping up was just too expensive for a lot of companies. That's when cloud computing came along. 🌟
Cloud computing is like renting servers and storage, over the internet. You only pay for what you use, and you don't have to deal with all the physical hardware. 🙌
Now, picture this: your developers want to try out a new feature for your app. They need a special environment to test it, just like the real thing. If you're doing things the old-fashioned way, you'd have to buy new hardware, set it all up, and make sure it works. Not fun. 😿 But with the cloud, you can set up this special environment in minutes – no messing around with physical stuff. 🚀
How AWS Fits In 🙌
AWS offers all kinds of cloud services. By using AWS, you can make your apps bigger, better, and cheaper. You don't have to worry about buying tons of heavy-duty hardware.🥳
