Hi guys,
I would like to know from a developers perspective, what exactly are the benefits of utilizing cloud services? Which products and service offerings are most commonly used in the field of software engineering?
I wasn't exactly sure how to word this question- I understand what cloud computing is, I can read up on what each of the services do, but in a lot of ways it seems like buzz-word people like to throw around.
If you look on amazon AWS cloud services page, there's 50+ different offerings with different fancy names and a pretty vague description of what it actually does.
I'd like a better general understanding of which of these services (Amazon S3, Azure, etc.) are used most commonly in the real world when launching/deploying a new web app/phone app.
For instance, consider an established company who can afford the equipment to host everything in-house, why might they choose to utilize a cloud based offering instead?
Thank you!
