Cloud Computing

Cloud computing delivers computing services — servers, storage, databases, software — over the internet on a pay-as-you-go basis.

It eliminates the need to own physical infrastructure and provides scalable, on-demand resources to individuals and organizations.

Service and Deployment Models

Cloud services come in three main models: Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) provides raw computing resources, Platform as a Service (PaaS) provides a development platform, and Software as a Service (SaaS) provides ready-to-use applications.

Deployment can be public, private, hybrid, or community cloud, each offering different trade-offs between control, cost, and security. Virtualization is the core technology that allows multiple virtual machines to run on shared physical hardware.
