Cloud computing makes computing resources available as services. Depending on the service, you may manage virtual machines, deploy an application, or use a complete product without operating its underlying infrastructure.

The work does not disappear; its boundaries change. A provider may manage hardware and parts of the platform, while you still make decisions about application behavior, data, permissions, and configuration.

Understanding that division is more useful than treating the cloud as a single destination. Start with what you need to run and which responsibilities the chosen service actually covers.

Imagine a practical setting.

Imagine a document editor used through a browser. The familiar page may depend on separately operated storage, processing, and account services.

Before the next experiment.

Look at the information that outlives a single operation. Its owner, meaning, and recovery path deserve as much attention as the operation that created it.
A few starting points
  1. Identify the kind of service involved.
  2. Check the division of responsibilities.
  3. Keep application and data needs explicit.
