Cloud computing refers to the use of remote servers to store and access data and services online, enabling users to access applications from anywhere. It offers benefits like reduced hardware requirements and widespread application access, but it also poses challenges such as security, privacy, and performance issues. The document distinguishes between cloud computing, grid computing, and cluster computing based on how they utilize computing resources.

8. Grid Computing: Grid computing is the collection of
computer resources from multiple locations to reach a
common goal.
Cluster computing: Cluster computing is a form of
computing in which a group of computers are linked
together so that they can act like a single entity.
Cloud Computing: Cloud computing is a type of computing
that relies on sharing computing resources rather than having
local servers or personal devices to handle applications.
