Cloud computing refers to delivering computational resources and services, such as data and applications, over the Internet. It involves pooling shared resources, such as storage, bandwidth, software, and computing power, and delivering them on-demand to customers. Customers can access these resources from anywhere without having to manage physical servers or storage themselves. Cloud computing provides advantages like low costs, simplification, centralization, virtualization, self-service, and pay-as-you-go pricing.
