The Magic of the Cloud
Understanding the cloud is essential for developers to create better features for users. The illusion of the 'magic' cloud often obscures the fact that it is built on foundational technologies and concepts that originated in simpler computing environments. Developers can leverage lower-level cloud features, such as VMs designed for rapid start-up and suspension, to innovate applications that were previously impossible. Recognizing the real mechanics behind cloud services allows for more creative use of technology and empowers developers to realize new possibilities.
