Cloud Database

IT 231: IT and Applications (BBA)

What is a Cloud Database? ☁️

A database that runs on a cloud computing platform (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) rather than local on-premises servers.

  • Offers the same functionality as traditional DBs.
  • Provides incredible flexibility and remote accessibility.

Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) 🛠️

A managed service where the cloud provider handles the database infrastructure, maintenance, and backups.

  • Zero Maintenance: The provider handles software patches and hardware upgrades.
  • Examples: Amazon RDS, Google Cloud SQL, Firebase.

Advantages for Business 📈

  • Cost Efficiency: Pay only for what you use (no hardware costs).
  • Instant Scalability: Add storage or processing power with a single click.
  • Disaster Recovery: Data is automatically replicated across multiple geographic zones.
