Cloud Computing 101

This is an excellent piece on cloud computing in a digestible format-
In a remarkably short time, cloud computing has emerged as a hugely important evolution in the way that
businesses and individuals consume and operate computing. It’s a fundamental shift to an operational
model in which applications don’t live out their lives on a specific piece of hardware and in which resources
are more flexibly deployed than was the historical norm. It’s also a fundamental shift to a development and
consumption model that replaces hard-wired, proprietary connections among software components and the
consumers of those components with lightweight web services and web-based software access.
