He more or less interacted with participants expressing the challenges of putting your websites or applications on your own laptop and the potential issues that may occur, like theft, natural disaster, power outage that could disrupt the website. This highlighted the advantages of cloud computing, emphasizing its reliability and redundancy. The presentation broke down cloud services into the following topics: Compute, database, storage, function and access control. Mohammed Futa will follow up next Saturday with a hands-on session on these topics.Hope to see you there!
