Cloud computing refers to the delivery of computing services—including servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics, and intelligence—over the internet (“the cloud”) to offer faster innovation, flexible resources, and economies of scale. Instead of owning and maintaining physical data centers and servers, organizations can rent access to various technology services on a pay-as-you-go basis from cloud providers.Cloud computing is transforming the way businesses operate, enabling them to scale, innovate, and reduce costs without the burden of maintaining on-premise infrastructure. With a wide range of services and deployment models, cloud computing caters to organizations of all sizes, from startups to global enterprises.
