Cloud migration is the process of transferring some or all your data, software, and operations to a cloud-based computing environment that offers unlimited scale and high availability. A key step in digital transformation is migrating from traditional on-prem IT processes to adopting cloud services. What is cloud migration?

Because microprocessors are so fast, computer architecture design has evolved towards adding various levels of caching between compute units and the main memory, in order to hide the latency of bringing the bits to the brains. Its goal is to assign running processes to time slices of the CPU in a “fair” way. So why mess with it?
