Core cloud services
Use compute, storage, databases and networking in the cloud.
📖 Key ideas
- Compute: VMs (EC2), containers, serverless functions (Lambda, Cloud Functions).
- Storage: object (S3, GCS), block, file.
- Databases: managed SQL (RDS, Cloud SQL) and NoSQL (DynamoDB, Firestore).
- Networking: VPCs, load balancers, CDNs, DNS.
- Identity: IAM users, roles, policies.
💡 Real-life example: Cloud services are rooms in a rented office: desks (compute), cupboards (storage), files (databases).
