What is Cloud Computing?
Cloud computing is the on-demand availability of computer system resources, especially data storage (cloud
storage) and computing power, without direct active management by the user. Instead of owning and maintaining
your own computing infrastructure, you access these resources over the internet, typically on a pay-as-you-go basis.

This model offers several key benefits, including scalability (easily increasing or decreasing resources as needed),
cost-effectiveness (paying only for what you use), and enhanced flexibility (accessing resources from anywhere with
an internet connection). Popular examples include services offered by Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure,
and Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

Various services are provided under the cloud computing model, including Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS),
Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS). Each provides different levels of control and
management, allowing businesses to tailor their cloud solutions to their specific requirements.
