CLOUD COMPUTING

Cloud computing is a technology paradigm that enables access to a shared pool of computing resources, such as servers, storage, and applications, over the internet. Instead of relying on local servers or personal devices, users can leverage the on-demand availability of these resources, paying for what they use. Cloud computing offers scalability, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness, allowing businesses and individuals to scale infrastructure up or down based on their needs. It encompasses various services, including Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS). This model has become integral to modern IT, facilitating efficient resource utilization, collaboration, and innovation across industries.
