1 Introduction
Cloud Computing is a new computing model, service method, resource architecture and application strategy. It extends computing, storage and network services from the central computer room to "infinite" distributed locations. Dynamically allocate resources to improve resource utilization and reliability. Its core features include on-demand access, flexibility, scalability, elasticity, cost-effectiveness, and quality of service.
In the era of big data, cloud computing can provide a series of capabilities such as data processing, analysis, and storage, which greatly increases the value and price of data. However, how to build a cloud computing platform to achieve the security, availability and low-cost deployment and operation of massive data has become a hot topic in the industry. This requires studying the collaboration between the various modules of the cloud computing platform, the design and optimization of the system architecture, and the research and development and innovation of core technologies.
As mentioned above, this article will elaborate on the functional and technical elements of the most important modules in the cloud computing platform - data processing, analysis, storage, network, etc., and demonstrate how to use it in actual scenarios through engineering practice cases. these technologies. After reading the article, readers should be able to clearly understand what a cloud computing platform is, the characteristics and advantages of cloud computing, and how to build a cloud computing platform that suits them.
