Where did Cloud Computing come from?
In 2006 Google’s Eric Schmidt described its approach to SaaS as cloud computing at a search engine conference. Later in the year, Amazon used the word “cloud” regarding Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) when it was launched a few weeks later. Whilst many struggled to define Cloud Computing at the time it became known as SaaS, Apps and Infrastructure, Google, EC2 services and Amazon. The term has grown to become mainstream.
What is Cloud Computing
The name cloud computing was inspired by the often loosely sketched ‘cloud’ symbol that has regularly been used to represent the internet in flowcharts and diagrams.
Cloud computing is a generalisation for anything that involves delivering hosted services over the internet. These hosted services are split into three core categories:
- Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS)
- Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS)
- Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)
