Cloud computing is the on-demand delivery of computing resources over the internet, with pay-as-you-go pricing. Instead of buying, owning, and maintaining physical data centers and servers, you can access technology services, such as computing power, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics, and artificial intelligence (AI), over the internet (“the cloud”).
Cloud computing offers many benefits, including cost savings, scalability, reliability, and flexibility. Businesses can use cloud computing to reduce their IT costs by only paying for the resources they use. Cloud computing is also scalable, meaning businesses can quickly and easily increase or decrease their use of resources as needed. Cloud computing is also reliable, with many cloud computing providers offering high levels of availability and uptime. Finally, cloud computing is flexible, allowing businesses to use a variety of cloud computing services to meet their specific needs.
