The cloud is becoming the de facto technology for just about everything, from data to software and more. If you need a quick primer on the cloud, then here are four resources we recommend.
Blogs
The transformation from traditional data centers that store information in hard drives to the cloud unlocked several benefits for both companies and users. This journey is readily available to read on websites that focus on the cloud. As you read through the websites you’ll have an understanding of its history and progress.
This Cloud blog covers a wide variety of cloud concepts, from cloud computing to services available to consumers.
Explainer Videos
If you’re not fond of reading large walls of text, then video is the next best thing. YouTube and other video platforms will have a dozen or so videos you can watch, ranging from the simple to the complex.
Beginners can start their journey learning more about the technology in explainer videos, then move to cloud applications and services. As an added tip, some cloud services will have videos embedded in their websites to give customers an idea of how the technology works.
Community Websites
Community websites can be a treasure trove of information, especially about the cloud and the latest technologies. Granted, you will need to sift through the information and posts, but every now and then you’ll find a piece of information that’s not available in blogs or YouTube.
Quora, Reddit, and similar platforms can answer specific questions you may have if you can wait a day or two. Or, you can do a quick search and see if it’s already answered.
Cloud Service Companies
You can get information firsthand from industry experts by contacting cloud service companies. Look around their blog section, or click the ‘contact us’ link and chat with a representative.
