Cloud computing is a broad term that is used for a wide variety of use cases. These use cases include an offering of physical or virtual compute platforms, software development platforms, big data processing platforms, storage, network functions, software services, and many more. In this chapter, we will explore Python for cloud computing from two correlated aspects. First, we will investigate the options of using Python for building applications for cloud runtimes. Then, we will extend our discussion of data-intensive processing, which we started in Chapter 8, Scaling Out Python using Clusters, from clusters to cloud environments. The focus of the discussion in this chapter will largely center on ...
