cloudpõhiste

cloudpõhiste is an Estonian term that translates to "cloud-based" in English. It refers to computing resources, services, and applications that are accessed over the internet, rather than being installed or run on local hardware. This model allows users to utilize computing power, storage, and software without needing to manage the underlying infrastructure.

The core concept of cloudpõhiste services is their delivery model. Instead of purchasing and maintaining physical servers, software licenses, and data centers, organizations and individuals can subscribe to these resources from a cloud provider. This provider is responsible for all the hardware, maintenance, security, and updates. Users can access these services from any device with an internet connection.

Key characteristics of cloudpõhiste solutions include scalability, flexibility, and pay-as-you-go pricing. Businesses can easily scale their computing resources up or down based on demand, avoiding the costs associated with over-provisioning. This also offers greater agility, allowing for faster deployment of new applications and services. Common examples include cloud storage (like Google Drive or Dropbox), software as a service (SaaS) applications (like Microsoft 365 or Salesforce), and platform as a service (PaaS) environments for developers. The adoption of cloudpõhiste solutions is prevalent across various industries due to the efficiency and cost-effectiveness they offer.
