Topic: Catching up with Cloud
Intended Audience: Developers, IT Professionals, Cloud Enthusiasts.
Description: After building a website it’s always essential to move to a server in order to make it public. As Dedicated server would not be cost effective and may not be affordable for most of small-scale business houses, cloud is the best option. Coming to the cloud, again there are a number of options, VPC, VPS, Shared Servers or if we go to cloud service models, again we have models like IaaS, Paas, Saas. And also there are a huge number of cloud service providers each claiming, they being the best. Out of all these confusions, I will be trying to share my knowledge on cloud server, choosing the best cloud server for your application, using different tools in order to check if the server is actually good and different types of firewalls and security issues.
