Cloud Solutions for Mobile Applications

Abstract

This master’s thesis starts with an introduction to how cloud solutions and mobile applications can be connected to each other. After the introduction, the ways in which different cloud solutions will be studied and compared are defined. After the definition of study methods, the selection of cloud solutions is made, followed by an actual study of the selected cloud solutions. Next, based on the results of this study, a comparison of the selected cloud solutions is made. This master’s thesis ends with a conclusion, which takes account of the study and the comparison of the selected cloud solutions.

In this master’s thesis, Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform and Microsoft Azure were selected as study and comparison targets. As a conclusion of the study and comparison, it is possible to say that the compared cloud solutions offer different kinds of approaches on how to support mobile applications. This master’s thesis presents these different approaches; based on the given information, picking the most suitable cloud solution for a certain mobile application is facilitated.
