Today, almost every company relies on cloud computing for storing data, hosting apps, and running large-scale operations. For students, this is both a challenge and an opportunity. Cloud platforms like AWS and Google Cloud offer free credits for students, which makes it the best time to explore.
My first experience was deploying a React portfolio on Firebase. I was amazed by how easily my project was live on the internet. Later, I experimented with AWS S3 and GCP for hosting college projects. These platforms don’t just teach you hosting—they teach scalability, backups, and professional workflows.
The best part is that cloud skills are in high demand. Even if you are not planning to become a cloud engineer, basic knowledge can set you apart in internships. For example, if you can deploy a project online instead of just submitting a ZIP file, it leaves a strong impression.
