GCP, or Google Cloud Platform, has many uses. Enrol today to learn how to harness it for building apps and APIs, machine learning, cloud security and much more.

Cloud computing is easier to understand if you know that ‘the cloud’ is another way to say ‘the Internet’. Previously, documents, files, folders and so on were stored on individual hard drives or servers, and sharing these items was only possible between users who had access to them. These plus services like networking, analytics and so forth are delivered via ‘the cloud’ or the Internet.

A good example is streaming: the movie or song is stored remotely in the cloud, and you access them by accessing the cloud via your Internet connection. Another example is using services like Dropbox or WeTransfer to send images - this also depends on the Internet. Previously, you might have had to use a physical flash or thumb drive; now, you click a link and send it via the web. The catch is that cloud computing services almost always have a cost attached, like a subscription fee for streaming or an account payment to allow transfers over a specific size.
