Lesson Today - C.4.2 Describe how cloud computing is different from a client-server architecture
Learning Objectives
Client-server architecture
An application gets split into the client side and server-side. The server can be a central communicator between clients (e.g. email/chat server) or allow different clients to access and manipulate data in a database.
A client-server application does also not necessarily need to be working over the internet, but could be limited to a local network, e.g. for enterprise applications.
Cloud Computing
Cloud computing still relies on the client-server architecture, but puts the focus on sharing computing resources over the internet.
