Cloud Technology? What is that?
Cloud technology has nothing to do with the generation of rain or modifying the rain clouds in any way, if that was your direction of thinking. No, cloud technology is actually a breakthrough in computer and networking world.
Cloud computing enables a vast number of computer servers so intricately connected to each other, all over the world via a secure internet connection which empowers storing, sharing and running of various applications and processes from anywhere on the earth, all in real time!
The only pre-requisite is, a reliable and sound internet connection and an interfacing device, which can be a normal computer, your cell-phone or even a tablet! Yes, that’s how the technology has revolutionized and it only keeps getting better every day!
Apart from a plethora of benefits and usage requirements for the end user, it is the developer himself who is most satisfied if not ecstatic about this upcoming and booming technological revolution. The reasons as to why this cloud technology is a favorite among developers are as follows:
Huge employment opportunities:
Cloud technology has become synonymous with a psychological phenomena known as Lucifer effect because it offers a huge number of applications and features which develop and improve with every passing day, leading to tremendous changes in technological designs, programming and processes, many a times bringing a sudden change in the way we look at it. This in turn leaves a large room for employment opportunities for all sorts of computer and cloud developers.
Impression on the cloud- Every developer’s mate:
An error in a program, faulty result or simply non-functioning of a software in a desired way are just some of the common tasks a developer faces, and finding solutions to these is what is known as trouble shooting. Cloud computing provides a smooth and immediate picture of a non-responding program application and aids the developer in all trouble-shooting purposes.
No prejudice whatsoever:
Nowadays many reputed firms are providing cloud database services which are made available for the developers programming in any language, on any interface device and at any platform. This excites a team of skilled developers and encourages them to develop further more applications if achieve nothing more concrete.
Conferences for the Cloud Developers:
With the advent of this revolutionary technology, now even an unemployed developer or an enthusiast who merely undertakes this as a hobby can attend those sophisticated conferences where all the like-minded people with common interests and knowledge of cloud computing gather and share their ideas and innovations. This in turn boosts the creativity and the skill of any developer.
These gathering are not mere social in nature but chart the way for various start-ups and future architects of cloud services.
Developer Rankings:
In a local survey, IBM's cloud offerings were ranked first among developers aiming at private clouds, and Google stood first with public cloud deployment services which are a hybrid of clouds blending private and public domains. The deciding factors were strongest in terms of reliability, security, utility tools, and cost for service and storage whereas IBM's top rating included trustworthy expertise, automatic-scaling and update provisions.
Conclusion
If Google's executive chairman Eric Schmidt’s words hold true then IT departments have a reason to be glad, for the prospect of cloud computing is universal in nature. The developers need to be concerned with only one fact- how to evolve and upgrade the cloud, which most of them are already great at. The near future only holds laurels and great success to such developers. Way to go!
