Introduction
Cloud computing has long been hailed as a game-changing technology, providing immense benefits to businesses and tech-savvy individuals. However, its adoption has primarily been limited to developers, engineers, and IT professionals. Recognizing the untapped potential of cloud computing for the everyday consumer, I embarked on a project to bridge this gap.
