Cloud computing interview questions

What is cloud computing?

The cloud computing is the computing which is completely based on the Internet. It can also be defined as the next stage in the evolution of the Internet. It is a service-based model of providing software as a service, where the customer does not have to implement, install or maintain the necessary hardware for using a software. It is sold as a service - much like how we use a taxi or a hotel room without owning it.

What are the concerns prevailing around cloud computing?

Security of data is the topmost concern in the consumers' minds.

How can these concerns be addressed?

By offering a more expensive - private cloud - solution, a customer's data is isolated from the public. Virtual private clouds can also be implemented. Lastly, a poorest measure against security is client-partitioning in a public cloud.
