Part II. Cloud Primer

This part provides an introduction to cloud provider concepts, including compute capabilities, networking, and storage. If you are already familiar with using a cloud provider, you may wish to skim the chapters in this part.

Cloud providers can use different terminology to refer to the same concept, or even offer different features that support the same concept. In these cases, the descriptions here begin by using the terminology for Amazon Web Services (AWS). Differences in other cloud providers are called out after the basic concept is described.
