Eli5: what is cloud, in computer networking terms.
In: 5
Instead of being stored on a hard drive attached to your computer, data is with a cloud storage provider (Like Amazon, Google, or Apple). These companies have a lot of brick and mortar buildings all over the world, called data centers, each one is full of servers. The cloud provider sends backups of the data around to their different data centers to ensure that it’s not lost if one server goes down.
