Cloud computing refers to storing and accessing data and programs over the internet instead of a local computer. It allows users to access applications from anywhere in the world using internet-connected devices. Major cloud computing models include infrastructure as a service, platform as a service, and software as a service, which can be offered publicly or privately. Key benefits of cloud computing include rapid elasticity to scale resources with demand, ubiquitous access to resources from any device, and resource pooling through shared multi-tenant architectures.

2. What is Cloud Computing
The practice of using a network of
remote servers hosted on the
Internet to store, manage, and
process data, rather than a local
server or a personal computer.

3. Cloud Computing
• It specifically refers to a computing hardware machine or group of computing
hardware machines commonly referred as a server connected through a
communication network such as the internet , an intranet, a LAN or wide area network
(WAN).
• Therefore, instead of using a personal computer every-time to run the application, the
individual can now run the application from anywhere in the world.
• Typically, the seller has actual energy-consuming servers which host products and
services from a remote location, so end-users don't have to; they can simply log on to
the network without installing anything.
• The major models of cloud computing service are known as software as a service,
platform as a service, and infrastructure as a service.
• These cloud services may be offered in a public, private or hybrid network
• Google, CSC, Amazon, IBM, Oracle Cloud, Rackspace, Salesforce, Zoho and Microsoft
Azure are some well-known cloud vendors.
