Cloud computing is like renting a library of books instead of buying them. You access these “books” (services like storage, processing power, and software) over the internet.
Benefits:
- Cost Savings: Imagine you don’t buy the entire library but pay only for the books you read.
- Scalability: Need more books? Just rent more without needing a bigger bookshelf.
- Accessibility: Read your rented books from anywhere, as long as you have an internet connection.
- Maintenance: The library staff (cloud provider) takes care of organizing and updating the books.
- Collaboration: Friends can read the same book simultaneously, no matter where they are.
- Disaster Recovery: If you lose your books, the library has backups, so you don’t lose your place.
This way, cloud computing makes things simpler, more flexible, and cost-effective, just like an online library compared to owning physical books.

What is a firewall?
A firewall is a security device available as computer hardware or software. It can help protect your network by acting as an intermediary between your internal network and outside traffic. It monitors attempts to gain access to your operating system and blocks unwanted incoming traffic and unrecognized sources.
How do firewalls work?
A firewall acts as a barrier or gatekeeper between your computer and another network like the internet. It works like a traffic controller, monitoring and filtering traffic that wants to gain access to your operating system.
What does a firewall protect against?
A firewall protects you from unsolicited and unwanted incoming network traffic. It validates access by assessing this incoming traffic for anything malicious like hackers and malware that could infect your computer.
