What is Cloud

Computing?
Cloud computing is a model of delivering computing services—
including servers, storage, databases, networking, software,
analytics, and intelligence—over the Internet ("the cloud"). These
services are often provided on a pay-per-use basis, allowing
businesses and individuals to access computing resources as
needed, without the need to invest in and maintain their own
physical infrastructure.
On-Demand Resources
Cloud computing offers on-demand self-service, providing users
with the ability to access and provision computing resources such
as servers, storage, and databases, without the need for human
interaction with cloud provider staff.

1 Elasticity 2 Pay-as-you-go
Cloud computing allows Cloud computing
users to scale their providers charge for the
computing resources up resources used, based on
or down as needed, consumption. This pay-as-
based on demand. This you-go model eliminates
flexibility allows the need for upfront
organizations to adapt capital investment and
quickly to changing allows users to only pay
workloads and avoid over- for the resources they
provisioning. actually use.
Rapid Elasticity and Pay-as-you-go

Cloud computing enables rapid elasticity, allowing users to quickly scale their
computing resources up or down based on demand. This flexibility enables businesses
to handle peak workloads without over-provisioning.

On-Demand
Users can provision and release resources as needed, ensuring that they
only pay for the resources they actually use.

Dynamic
Cloud computing allows for dynamic adjustments to computing resources
based on real-time needs, enabling businesses to optimize resource
utilization and minimize costs.

Scalability
Cloud computing offers the ability to scale resources up or down on
demand, supporting businesses in managing fluctuating workloads and
achieving optimal performance.
