<aside> 💡 What is a cluster?
A cloud cluster is a group of computers or servers that are connected over the internet and work together to provide computing resources to users. These computing resources can include storage, processing power, and other services that can be accessed from anywhere with an internet connection. Cloud clusters are commonly used by businesses and organisations to run their applications and store their data without having to invest in expensive hardware and infrastructure. Users can easily scale up or down their computing resources as needed, depending on their requirements.
