2. Simply put, cloud computing is the delivery of computing services—servers, storage, databases,
networking, software, analytics and more—over the Internet (“the cloud”). Companies offering these
computing services are called cloud providers and typically charge for cloud computing services
based on usage, similar to how you are billed for water or electricity at home.
