Cloud computing is the on-demand availability of computing resources (such as storage, infrastructure, and applications) delivered as services over the internet. Instead of managing physical servers and data centres, organizations can access these resources remotely, paying only for what they use. Cloud solutions refer to the use of computing resources, such as servers, storage, databases, networking, and software, delivered over the internet - commonly known as “the cloud.” Therefore, instead of managing physical infrastructure on-site, organizations access virtual environments hosted by cloud providers. This shift enables flexibility, scalability, cost-effectiveness, and efficient resource utilization

Networking involves connecting devices, systems, and people to enable communication, resource sharing, and collaboration. It encompasses various types of networks (like LANs and WANs), essential components (such as routers and switches), protocols (like TCP/IP), security measures (including firewalls), and emerging trends (like 6G). A well-designed network is crucial for efficient communication, cloud connectivity, remote work, and business continuity. Networking plays a critical role in cybersecurity, serving as the backbone for secure communication and defense against cyber threats.
