By now, you are quite familiar with developing software applications for multiple traditional operating platforms, but how would this be different for cloud-based platforms?

In this discussion, you will reflect on what you have learned and discuss architectural approaches for developing software for cloud platforms. As you formulate your response to this topic, think about the questions provided below to inform your post. Consider and provide a comprehensive response to the following questions:

• What is important to know from a software development perspective about this topic and its relationship with traditional operating systems?
• How does developing the software for each platform differ? How is it similar?
• What does it mean for a cloud-based system to be serverless? How does this influence the software development process?
• How does architecting applications for the cloud differ from traditional operating systems? Are there advantages to this method and, if so, what are they?
• What are the cost differences between traditional and cloud-based operating platforms?
• Do todays cloud-based platforms make traditional operating systems obsolete? Why or why not? Explain your reasoning.
• Which operating platform are you most likely to recommend and develop prototype code for? Why? Provide a rationale for your recommendation.
