cloud computing

  Cloud computing is the on-demand delivery of computing services — such as servers, storage, databases, networking, software, and analytics — over the internet. Instead of buying and maintaining physical hardware, you rent resources from a cloud provider (like AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud) and pay only for what you use. Instead of buying a computer or server, you use someone else’s powerful computer (like Amazon, Microsoft, or Google) through the internet. You don’t have to worry about fixing, upgrading, or maintaining it — the company does it for you. You just pay for what you use, like paying electricity or mobile recharge. Simple Example When you use Google Drive to save files, you’re not storing them on your own computer — you’re using Google’s computers (the cloud). When you watch movies on Netflix , the videos come from cloud servers, not from your personal device.

  Networking 1. Difference between Hub, Switch, and Router Hub: Sends data to all devices (broadcast). Example: If PC1 sends a file, all PCs receive it, even if only PC2 needs it. Switch: Sends data only to the destination MAC. Example: PC1 → PC2 directly, no unnecessary traffic. Router: Connects different networks. Example: Your home router connects LAN to the internet. 2. OSI Model and Layers Seven layers: Physical (cables, signals) Data Link (MAC addresses, Ethernet) Network (IP addressing, routing) Transport (TCP/UDP, reliability) Session (manages sessions) Presentation (encryption, compression) Application (user interface, HTTP, SMTP) Example: Sending an email uses all layers. 3. TCP vs UDP TCP: Reliable, connection‑oriented. Example: Web browsing, email. UDP: Fast, connectionless. Example: Streaming, gaming. 4. IP Address Classes & Subnetting Class A: 1–126, large networks. Class B: 128–191, medium. Class C: 192–223, small. Subnetting: Divides a network into smal...
