What are Cloud Services

          Cloud Services are set of tools & services offered on Pay-as-you-go basis by companies like Microsoft(Azure), Amazon(AWS) and few others.

           If you are running a company using cloud services it is not required to invest in racks and racks of hardware like Servers, switches, routers etc. Instead you can use these services virtually by paying substantial amount to cloud service providers.

          Any technological company can opt-in to cloud services by having acoount and a subscription to required services and opt-out whenever is not necessary so you will be paying only for the services and number of hours you have used them.

         Where in if you have set-up your own data centre for your company and have to invest in hardware more and more as the business expands but when you think you don't need that much of hardware and you already have it in your data centre you end up in having these hardware in your data centre allowing for web cobs to be created.

     Okay I think I understood about cloud services, can I start using cloud services for my company!??
