Cloud Architecture
Cloud Computing and DevOps
Cloud architecture refers to the design of components — servers, storage, networking, databases, and middleware — needed to build applications and systems in a cloud environment. It encompasses decisions about scalability, redundancy, security, and how services communicate, often following patterns like microservices, serverless, or multi-tier design. Cloud architects and engineers use it to ensure systems are resilient, cost-efficient, and able to handle variable load.
