CLOUD COMPUTING2IntroductionJoseph Carl Robnett Licklider is credited with inventing cloud technology in the 1960s through his invention of The Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANET), which connected people and information from everywhere at any moment. CompuServe began offeringits commercial consumers a modest volume of data in 1983, which they could use it to retain anycontent they wanted to post. Cloud computing is a set of IT services delivered to customers across a network with the capacity to scale up or down according to their needs. Cloud computing technology can minimize the need for high-cost infrastructure to support IT-based products and services in the business world. It claims to deliver a versatile IT framework that canbe accessed via the Internet and mobile devices. However, despite the advantages of cloud computing, businesses are slow to adopt it due to safety concerns and complexities (Sharma 2017). One of the most significant concerns impending cloud adoption is cybersecurityImpacts of cloud computing Cloud computing technology has had adverse advantages and disadvantages to all the consumer firms involved. Cloud computing, as a significant issue in technology, has several benefits, such as reduced cost. Companies that employ cloud systems save a lot of money on equipment and software purchases. They do not have to buy local servers and data centers, whichrequire specialist administration and maintenance crew, take up limited physical space. The technology also ensures the security of information as the data is not stored physically within the firm. Cloud computing offers excellent accessibility through the internet connection, may swiftlyand conveniently access and save data anywhere around the globe, at any time. By guaranteeing that data is always available, an internet cloud architecture improves firm productivity and efficiency. Easy implementation Cloud hosting enables businesses to keep the same applications as a service while avoiding backend technological issues. A cloud computing technology
CLOUD COMPUTING3infrastructure is easily manageable via the Internet and can be used by businesses fast and efficiently. One of the most significant features of cloud computing is the security of information. Cloud computing has a variety of advanced cryptographic protocols that guarantee the information is secured and handled safely (Danget et al., 2019).On the other hand, cloud technology also has several disadvantages to consumer firms. All cloud services are not created equal. Some cloud service providers reduced opportunities variants that activate the most significant characteristics, as one may not get all of the functionality or customizations you desire. Make sure you understand everything your hosting company has to offer before having to sign up. Though cloud service companies adhere to the highest security protocols when storing sensitive data. However, the firm should be informed that by using cloud technology, you will be transmitting all of your company's sensitive information to a third party, such as a cloud computing service provider. While uploading data tothe cloud, there is a danger that cybercriminals will gain access to the company's information. Vendor lock-in is also one of the most significant downsides of cloud computing is vendor lock-in. When switching resources from one provider to another, cloud provider companies may run into issues. The issue often occurs because different suppliers offer different architectures; switching from one cloud to another might be complicated (Abdalla et al., 2019).Cloud computing at Netflix CompanyAmong many big companies that use cloud computing technology to store their data and information is the Netflix Company. Netflix company offers a platform where members can watch shows and movies without specific hardware but only when connected to the Internet. Thecompany uses Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud Company. Other similar companies that offer cloud computing services include Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, IBM Cloud,

They switched from vertically scaled performance degradation to horizontally scalable, cloud-based dispersed solutions. Netflix's road to the cloud was long and winding (Singh et al.). Netflix used IAAS to host and distribute its programming tosubscribers. Now, the software may be simply accessed over the cloud and integrated into your business operations. The service allows your firm to obtain information from any remote place with a Connection to the Internet. Storage issues were also raised due to the high number of Netflix subscribers in need of their services, and this forced the company to seek computing services to create more space for its storage to accommodate more customers. With the use of computing services, Netflix subscribers and profits increased while the subscription rate reduced.Netflix is an example of a business that makes use of the cloud. It offered billions of h of operation to clients around the globe by operating on AWS. Clients can access PCs, tablets, or mobile devices from practically anywhere around the world. Before broadcasting and going to the cloud, Netflix was able to handle it. Netflix's scalability of business operations is demonstrated by its 86 million customers globally, who use 150 million hours of material every day.ConclusionCloud computing services to most firms have proven to be of great importance. Among the vital services cloud computing companies offer, security of information, storage, backup, andrecovery services are guaranteed. Cloud computing refers to the on-demand increase in available computer resources, particularly data management and computational power, without the client handling them directly. Operations in large clouds are frequently dispersed across multiple locations, each of which is a data center. Among many firms that have proven to benefit from
