Show Notes
You've probably heard about the cloud before, but do you know what it actually is? Spoiler alert: It's not a literal cloud! In this episode, we dive into exactly what the cloud is, why it’s so important in tech, and how the cloud actually works. Because let's face it: the cloud can definitely be a broad, confusing topic. Even if you use the cloud everyday for storing your photos or documents, you might not know what’s going on under the hood. Like what is AWS? What is a SaaS application? Where does the stuff actually live? Well, we answer all these important questions in this episode! New episodes come out fortnightly on Wednesday morning (NZT).
