Cloud Computing Concepts and Features

The video tutorial explores the differences between cloud and traditional systems, focusing on device synchronization, offline vs online working, and notifications. It explains how synchronization allows access to the same files across multiple devices via the cloud, ensuring updates are consistent. The video compares cloud-based and non-cloud software, highlighting the benefits and drawbacks of each. It also discusses the traditional method of saving data locally versus using cloud services, emphasizing cost, ownership, and security. Finally, the video explains notifications and their role in alerting users to updates or changes.

What is the primary benefit of device synchronization in cloud computing?

• It allows multiple users to edit different versions of a file.

• It allows files to be accessed only from a single device.

• It ensures all devices have the latest version of a file.

• It prevents any changes from being made to a file.

Which of the following is an example of non-cloud software?

• Office 365

• Adobe Photoshop

• Microsoft OneDrive

• Google Docs

What is a key characteristic of offline working?

• It requires a constant internet connection.

• It does not use the internet or cloud services.

• It is dependent on cloud storage.

• It automatically saves data to the cloud.

What is a potential risk when working offline?

• Files are never synchronized.

• You might lose data before reconnection.

• Data is always saved automatically.

• You cannot access any software features.

In traditional computing, who is responsible for data security?

What is a notification in the context of cloud services?

• A method to synchronize devices.

• A way to access files from a single device.

• A message that informs you of a new update or change.

• A tool to edit files offline.

Which of the following is an example of a notification?
