Cloud Computing
What is it?
By these words it comes to our mind that, okay there is a Computer on a Cloud, it is bit true, but lets understand it completely.
Cloud Computing
It is simply understood as there are computers, which can be accessed remotely over the Internet and one can compute(be it: Data storage, process, manage, or any other activity) on that computer remotely.
Simply a Computer away from us, and using that Computer is known as Cloud Computing
According to Microsoft:
Simply put, cloud computing is the delivery of computing services—servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics, intelligence and more—over the Internet (“the cloud”) to offer faster innovation, flexible resources, and economies of scale. You typically pay only for cloud services you use, helping lower your operating costs, run your infrastructure more efficiently, and scale as your business needs change.Pay less with Azure
AWS is 5 times more expensive than Azure for Windows Server and SQL Server. Why run them anywhere else?
Compare the costs of running Windows Server VMs:
Other cloud service providers may claim to have similar savings to the Azure Hybrid Benefit, but you’ll need to repurchase your Windows Server license on those clouds. And only Azure offers free extended security updates for Windows Server 2008 and 2008 R2.
