Cloud Computing

Cloud Computing is a technology that allows you to store, manage, and process data over the internet instead of using your computer’s local storage or servers. Essentially, it provides on-demand access to computing resources like servers, storage, databases, networking, software, and analytics.

Key Characteristics
On-Demand Self-Service
- Users can access resources (like storage or computing power) whenever needed without human intervention.
Broad Network Access
- Resources are available via the internet from any device: PC, smartphone, or tablet.
Resource Pooling
- Providers serve multiple customers using the same physical resources, allocating them dynamically.
Rapid Elasticity
Resources can scale up or down quickly according to demand.
Measured Service
You pay only for what you use (like electricity or water billing).
