A brief history of Cloud
summary
Tracing cloud from Cold War funding and ARPA's networks through packet switching to a working ARPANET and the 1969 "lo" login attempt, the talk credits TCP/IP and DNS standardization in 1983 for enabling internetworking, notes Mosaic (1993) and the dot‑com boom, and highlights operational milestones: AWS S3 and EC2 in 2006 and Microsoft Azure from Project Red Dog (2007→2010). Covers Docker/Kubernetes (2013), SQS (2004), rise of Alibaba, forecasts multi‑cloud, AI services, quantum access within a decade, and warns of possible large‑scale cloud compromises.
