Cloud computing is the technology that powers most of our digital world, from streaming movies and storing photos to running mobile apps. Instead of relying on physical servers in one location, organizations use cloud platforms like Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud to store data, run applications, and scale their operations quickly and efficiently. Entry-level cloud computing technicians work with these systems, including data storage, security, and networking.
