Cloud computing is a technology that allows to store and process data remotely in the cloud.

Before the apperance of cloud computing, companies had to store their data and deploy software on their own servers. And the larger the organization was, the larger the local infrastructure became.
This has an important drawback — the inability to scale quickly with increasing load.
Cloud technologies make it possible to manage the infrastructure more flexibly. Thanks to virtualization, you can quickly assemble the right number of servers with the desired productivity. In addition, clouds allow you to simplify the organization of IT systems. At any time, you can get the right number of perfectly working servers, Kubernetes, DBMS clusters.

At the moment, there are many professions related to cloud technologies: developers, admins, architects and managers.
