Cloud Computing

Cloud Computing refers to the delivery of computing services over the internet, allowing users to access and use shared resources, such as servers, storage, databases, networking, software, and analytics, without the need for direct active management or physical infrastructure. This technology enables on-demand access to a scalable and elastic pool of resources, making it easier for individuals and organizations to store data, run applications, and perform computations remotely. Cloud computing typically offers three main service models: Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), which provides virtualized computing resources; Platform as a Service (PaaS), which offers a platform for developing and deploying applications; and Software as a Service (SaaS), which delivers software applications over the internet. Additionally, cloud computing can be categorized into service deployment models such as public, private, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments. The key advantages of cloud computing include cost efficiency, flexibility, scalability, and ease of access, enabling businesses and individuals to focus more on their core activities rather than managing physical hardware and resources.
