0:00 so friends if you don't know what is
0:01 cloud computing or if you are not from a
0:03 technical background just give me a few
0:05 seconds so suppose if you are going into
0:07 a new city to find a job what is your
0:09 priority your priority is to find a job
0:12 in that city but you would also need a
0:14 house to stay and i i think you would
0:16 rather prefer to rent it rather than
0:18 buying it
0:19 similarly a new business when it enters
0:22 into this world wants to do the business
0:24 and earn revenues and profits but they
0:27 need id to enable that
0:29 but
0:30 they would rather prefer rather than
0:32 buying their own id infrastructure they
0:33 would rather prefer to go to a vendor
0:36 and rent it out and that's what google
0:38 amazon microsoft does to these new
0:41 companies they rent it out they rent
0:43 their it resources in a very cheap price
0:45 on flexible timelines to these
0:47 new businesses
0:49 so if you are confused please think that
0:52 a cloud computing setup is nothing more
0:54 than renting a house
