What is Cloud Computing?

Cloud computing is a pay-per-use model for enabling available, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction. This cloud model promotes availability and is comprised of five key characteristics, three delivery models, and four deployment models. - NIST Cloud Computing Working Definition

A Network based Service , that is available on demand such that the end consumer considers it not their problem
