Introduction to Cloud Computing

Introduction to Cloud Computing:

Cloud computing is the delivery of computing services, such as storage, processing power, databases,
software, and networking, over the internet ("the cloud") instead of using local servers or personal
devices. These services are provided by cloud service providers like Amazon Web Services (AWS),
Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud.

Cloud computing offers various models, such as:

 Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS): Provides virtualized computing resources like virtual

machines.
 Platform as a Service (PaaS): Offers a platform to develop, run, and manage
applications without dealing with infrastructure.
 Software as a Service (SaaS): Provides software applications over the internet, such as
email or productivity tools.

Q2. Working of Google Drive to make spreadsheet and notes

Google Drive is a cloud-based file storage and synchronization service developed by Google. It
allows users to store files in the cloud, access them from any device with an internet connection,
and collaborate with others in real-time. Within Google Drive, there are several applications
available for creating and editing documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and more. Two of the
most commonly used applications for creating spreadsheets and notes are Google Sheets and
Google Keep, respectively. Here's how they work:

1. Google Sheets (for creating spreadsheets):

 Accessing Google Sheets: To create a new spreadsheet, users can go to Google Drive, click on
the "+ New" button, and select "Google Sheets" from the dropdown menu. Alternatively, users
can directly access Google Sheets by visiting sheets.google.com.
 Creating and Editing Spreadsheets: Once inside Google Sheets, users can create new
spreadsheets or open existing ones. They can add and format text, numbers, and formulas to
organize and analyze data. Multiple users can collaborate on the same spreadsheet
simultaneously, seeing each other's changes in real-time.
 Sharing Spreadsheets: Users can share their spreadsheets with others by clicking on the "Share"
button and entering the email addresses of the collaborators. They can specify whether
collaborators can view, comment on, or edit the spreadsheet. Collaborators can access the
spreadsheet via a web browser or the Google Sheets mobile app.
 Auto-saving and Version History: Google Sheets automatically saves changes as users work,
ensuring that their data is always up to date. Users can also view and restore previous versions of
the spreadsheet using the "Version history" feature.
2. Google Keep (for taking notes):
 Accessing Google Keep: To create new notes, users can go to Google Drive, click on the "+
New" button, and select "Google Keep" from the dropdown menu. Alternatively, users can
directly access Google Keep by visiting keep.google.com.
 Creating and Organizing Notes: Within Google Keep, users can create new notes, checklists,
voice memos, and reminders. They can add text, images, and links to their notes, as well as
color-code them and add labels for organization.
 Syncing Across Devices: Notes created in Google Keep are automatically synced across all
devices connected to the user's Google account. Users can access their notes from any web
browser or the Google Keep mobile app, ensuring that their information is always available
when they need it.
 Collaboration: While Google Keep is primarily designed for personal note-taking, users can still
collaborate by sharing individual notes or entire collections (called "labels") with others.
Collaborators can view and edit shared notes, making it easy to collaborate on tasks or projects.
 Integration with Google Workspace: Google Keep seamlessly integrates with other Google
Workspace apps, such as Google Docs, Google Sheets, and Google Calendar. Users can quickly
add notes to their documents, set reminders based on their notes, and more.

Overall, Google Drive, Google Sheets, and Google Keep provide powerful tools for creating,
organizing, and collaborating on spreadsheets and notes in the cloud, making it easy for
individuals and teams to work together from anywhere.
