What Is Cloud Computing and AWS?
Understand the difference between on-premises, IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS, and see how AWS fits into each model.
What Is Cloud Computing?
Cloud computing lets you rent servers, storage, and databases over the internet and pay only for what you use — no buying or running your own data centre.
On-Premises vs Cloud
On-premises, you own and run all the hardware. In the cloud you spin up resources in minutes and stop paying when you're done. That's agility, elasticity, and reach.
