In cloud computing, “cloud” refers to a network of remote servers that are access over the internet to store, manage, and process data. These servers are often located in data centers operate by third-party providers such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Platform.
Here’s a simple code example to demonstrate how cloud computing works:
# Python code to upload a file to a cloud storage service
import boto3
# create a connection to Amazon S3 cloud storage service
s3 = boto3.client('s3')
# specify the name of the file to upload and the name of the bucket to upload it to
filename = 'example.txt'
bucket_name = 'my-bucket'
# upload the file to the specified bucket
s3.upload_file(filename, bucket_name, filename)
In this example, the code uses the Boto3 library to create a connection to Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service), a cloud storage service provided by AWS. It then specifies the name of a file to upload and the name of the bucket where the file will be store. Finally, it uploads the file to the specified bucket using the upload_file() method provided by the S3 client object.
This code demonstrates how cloud computing allows developers to easily access and use remote computing resources, such as storage and processing power, without having to maintain the infrastructure themselves
