From the Dot-Com Crash to the Modern Cloud Infrastructure
In short: Cloud computing is often misunderstood as a modern miracle, but its roots stretch back through decades of internet evolution and economic shifts. This video traces the technology's journey from early business models to today's global infrastructure.
The narrative explores how cloud computing evolved from mid-1990s business models like Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). It contextualizes this growth by looking at the internet's early expansion during the 1980s, the subsequent dot-com bubble, and its crash around the year 2000.
Key milestones include the pivotal role of Amazon Web Services in popularizing cloud services and the rapid 'echo boom' of cloud-based companies. By examining developments in communications infrastructure alongside these corporate shifts, the video provides a comprehensive look at how we reached our current digital landscape.
