Cloud computing is a computing model that provides access to computing resources (such as servers, storage, software, network, analytics, and database) offered over the internet. These resources are hosted on a large infrastructure owned by the service provider, with no prior investment by a company or user. Therefore, cloud computing services are cost-effective, especially for small businesses.
Cloud computing is also used for big data storage, data processing, application development, server hosting, data backup and business continuity solutions. Cloud computing services are also preferred because they are scalable, secure and high-performance.
Cloud computing can be used for IoT (Internet of Things) applications, whereby data collected from IoT devices can be stored, analyzed and processed using cloud-based services. Therefore, cloud computing infrastructure is required to transform the data received from IoT devices into meaningful and valuable information.
Connecting to IoT Devices: IoT devices use communication protocols such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and other wireless technologies that can connect to cloud computing services. Therefore, it is important to choose an appropriate wireless technology to connect IoT devices to the cloud.
Collecting and Storing Data: Data collected from IoT devices can be stored using cloud computing services. An appropriate database or storage system can be used for the storage, accessibility and management of this data.
Analyzing Data: Data collected from IoT devices can be analyzed using cloud computing services. Data can be processed and turned into meaningful information using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) algorithms.
Take Action: Data collected from IoT devices can be processed using cloud computing services. These processes can be used for automated decision making or used to perform a specific task.
Presenting Results: Data collected from IoT devices can be presented using cloud computing services. These results can be made available to users via web apps or mobile apps.
These steps give an idea of how cloud computing and IoT applications can be made and can be given as examples of various IoT applications used in different industries.
The following applications can be given as examples of the use of cloud computing and IoT together:
Smart home systems: Smart home systems, which allow home appliances, sensors and smart devices to be managed and controlled through cloud computing services, use a combination of IoT and cloud computing technologies.
Smart cities: Smart city applications require the use of IoT devices in many areas such as traffic management, environmental health and security. This data can be processed and managed using cloud computing services.
Agriculture sector: Using IoT devices, agricultural sector devices can measure soil moisture, temperature and other environmental parameters. This data is analyzed using cloud computing services and allows better management of equipment used in farming operations.
Industrial automation: Industrial automation systems use IoT devices and sensors to improve productivity and data collection on the production line. This data is analyzed using cloud computing services and provides benefits such as increased productivity, quality control and prevention of machine breakdowns.
Healthcare: The healthcare industry monitors the health status of patients using IoT devices. Data from these devices can be analyzed using cloud computing services and provide insights to assist in the treatment of patients.
These examples give an idea of how cloud computing and IoT technologies can be used together and show how these technologies can be used in many industries.
