Frequently Asked Questions

What is cloud computing?

Cloud computing delivers computing resources such as servers, storage, databases, networking and software over the internet on a pay-as-you-go basis, so organizations can scale capacity on demand instead of buying and maintaining hardware.

What is the difference between IaaS, PaaS and SaaS?

Infrastructure as a service provides virtual machines, storage and networking; platform as a service adds managed runtimes and tooling for building applications; software as a service delivers complete applications to end users. Each step shifts more management responsibility to the provider.

What is multicloud and why do organizations use it?

Multicloud means using services from more than one cloud provider. Organizations adopt it to avoid lock-in, use best-of-breed services, meet regional or compliance needs and improve resilience, though it adds complexity in management, networking, security and cost control.

How do I control cloud costs?

Start with cost visibility and tagging, then right-size resources, use committed-use discounts and shut down idle capacity. The Cloud Cost Optimization Software page lists FinOps platforms that automate this.

What is cloud-native?

Cloud-native applications are built to exploit the cloud: packaged in containers, designed as microservices, orchestrated by Kubernetes and observed through telemetry. The cloud-native, serverless and Kubernetes pages cover the tooling.
