Cloud Architecture
Cloud Architecture refers to the design principles, patterns, and components used to build and manage applications and systems in cloud computing environments. It involves structuring cloud resources, services, and infrastructure to achieve scalability, reliability, security, and cost-efficiency. This includes decisions about deployment models (public, private, hybrid), service models (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS), and architectural styles like microservices or serverless.
Developers should learn Cloud Architecture to design systems that leverage cloud-native features for modern applications, such as auto-scaling, global distribution, and managed services. It is essential for building scalable web applications, data-intensive systems, and enterprise solutions that require high availability and resilience, particularly in DevOps and cloud migration projects.
