Why do we need different operating systems?

They provide a standardized layer between the software and hardware so programs can be written once and run on many things. This also reduces the number of PEBKAC errors that happen as low level access to the hardware is not needed. But, why so many different operating systems and why are they needed.

How the cloud will change operating system?

The effect of cloud computing on operating system is that cloud base users, access the applications via browser. They have no need of operating system just have to run the browser. Memory, disc space, and other resources are shared by cloud system.

Is cloud computing related to operating system?

Combining a browser with a basic operating system allows the use of cloud computing, in which applications and data “live and run” on the Internet instead of the hard drive. Cloud can be installed and used together with other operating systems, or act as a standalone operating system.

What are the objectives of operating system?

Objectives of Operating System

• To make the computer system convenient to use in an efficient manner.
• To hide the details of the hardware resources from the users.
• To provide users a convenient interface to use the computer system.

How does cloud operating system vary from traditional operating systems?

Traditional OS storage is bound to its original space capacity. The only other option is purchasing more hard drives, which further disjoints management. Conversely, a cloud-native OS uses cloud services with the potential for unlimited storage space.

What is cloud computing and how does an OS work on cloud?

Cloud computing is the delivery of different services through the Internet, including data storage, servers, databases, networking, and software. Cloud-based storage makes it possible to save files to a remote database and retrieve them on demand.

Why is the cloud called the cloud?

Cloud computing is named as such because the information being accessed is found remotely in the cloud or a virtual space. Companies that provide cloud services enable users to store files and applications on remote servers and then access all the data via the Internet. Cloud computing can be both public and private.
