Cloud Networking
Cloud networking refers to the hosting or use of some or all network resources and services—like virtual routers, firewalls, and load balancers—in a public, private, or hybrid cloud platform. At its core, it enables organizations to design, build, and manage networks with the same agility and scalability inherent in cloud computing itself. This means that instead of relying solely on physical hardware, cloud networking leverages software-based solutions that can be rapidly deployed, configured, and managed, often across geographically dispersed locations. It represents a significant shift from traditional, hardware-centric networking models, offering a more flexible and often more cost-effective approach to connecting users and applications.
