In fact, this cloud can be understood as a slice and a cluster, but it is a dynamic cluster, a computing cluster belonging to the Internet, which can have supercomputers or ordinary computers-it is not important, what is important is that this computing cluster can provide you with certain computing services (which will be more cost-effective than your own computing).
In other words, I have a pc, and then I connect to the network, and I need to do large-scale calculations. I can send the data to this computing cluster (in fact, after the cloud matures, you don't need to know what a computing cluster is to help you calculate, all you want is the calculation results). This is cloud computing.
So the so-called cloud, you think about it, once cloud computing is realized, the calculation will be relatively concentrated. The machine that is most suitable for calculation will do more calculations that he is good at. In order to speed up the calculation, the machines that are close to each other will be closely linked.
If we draw a big picture of the Internet in the era of Zhang Yun, the higher the computational density and the darker the color, then there will be a dark area and the lighter the surrounding color. Looks like a cloud. Actually, it's still piece by piece. Although I think the translation of "cloud" is very good, I also feel very confused. . . . . )
Finally, to sum up: Cloud is a computing cluster that provides computing services on the Internet.
(ps Now the so-called cloud computing is mostly hype. . . The success of cloud computing will have a great impact on the Internet of Things. Imagine how horrible it would be if you brought an MP3 player, but this stupid gadget can provide you with the computing power equivalent to a notebook. . . . All the computer manufacturers went out of business. . Only the mobile phone and ipad are left)
