Cloud Computing — Cloud Networking

Cloud networking focuses on how data travels between cloud resources, users, and data centers. Cloud providers use virtual networks to connect servers, storage, and applications securely. This eliminates the need for physical networking hardware like routers and switches. Key components of cloud networking include virtual private clouds (VPC), load balancers, and content delivery networks (CDN). VPCs create isolated networks for organizations, ensuring security and control. Load balancers distribute incoming traffic evenly among servers, preventing crashes. CDNs deliver content like images or videos faster by caching them in multiple locations worldwide.

Example: Netflix uses CDNs to ensure that movies and shows stream smoothly without buffering, regardless of where you are in the world.
