Cloud Computing

                                                        Cloud Computing




Introduction - 

Cloud computing delivers computing services—such as servers, storage, databases, networking, software, and analytics—over the internet ("the cloud"). It allows businesses and individuals to access and use these resources on-demand, without owning and maintaining physical hardware. Cloud computing is typically categorized into three main service models:

  1. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS): Provides virtualized computing resources over the internet. Users rent virtual machines, storage, and networks without worrying about underlying physical infrastructure (e.g., AWS EC2, Microsoft Azure).

  2. Platform as a Service (PaaS): This platform allows developers to build, deploy, and manage applications without dealing with infrastructure management. Examples include Google App Engine and AWS Elastic Beanstalk.

  3. Software as a Service (SaaS): Delivers software applications over the internet, on a subscription basis. Users can access the software from any device with an internet connection (e.g., Gmail, Microsoft 365).

Key Benefits of Cloud Computing:

  • Scalability: Users can scale resources up or down based on demand.
  • Cost Efficiency: Eliminates the need for expensive on-site hardware, reducing capital expenditures.
  • Accessibility: Services can be accessed from anywhere, anytime, via the internet.
  • Security: Cloud providers offer advanced security features to protect data and applications.
  • Reliability: Offers backup, recovery, and disaster recovery solutions to ensure business continuity.

Conclusion-

Cloud computing has transformed how organizations manage data, deploy applications, and build digital infrastructures.
