The term "cloud" in the context of computing refers to a network of remote servers connected over the internet, collectively known as the cloud, that provide various services and resources to users and organizations. Cloud computing is a paradigm where computing services, including storage, processing power, and applications, are delivered over the internet rather than relying solely on local servers or personal devices. Cloud services can be categorized into Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS), offering varying levels of control and management to users. The cloud enables users to access and utilize computing resources on-demand, fostering scalability, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness. It eliminates the need for extensive local infrastructure, allowing users to leverage computing capabilities without the burden of maintaining physical hardware. The cloud has become a fundamental technology in modern IT, facilitating collaboration, data storage, and the deployment of applications and services across diverse industries.
