The introduction of the public cloud in 2006 signaled a paradigm shift in not only computing but also in how business is conducted globally. The cloud opened the door to levels of agility, reliability, scalability, and speed that were previously unthinkable by allowing enterprises to acquire services at the precise time and scale they require them.
