Understanding the Cloud
The cloud is fundamentally a more sophisticated way of managing computing resources that originated from simpler server setups. Cloud computing allows developers to streamline their applications by leveraging virtual machines (VMs) that can start, stop, or be suspended efficiently. This understanding is vital for creating innovative features for users, especially with the rise of technologies like Large Language Models (LLMs) that benefit from such infrastructure. By grasping how the cloud operates, developers can unlock new ways to build applications that were previously unattainable.
