Cloud computing is the delivery of computing services�including servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics, and artificial intelligence�over the internet (�the cloud�) to offer faster innovation, flexible resources, and economies of scale. Instead of buying, owning, and maintaining physical data centers or servers, organizations and individuals can access technology services on-demand from cloud providers like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Platform (GCP). Cloud computing enables users to store data, run applications, and access computing power remotely, with the ability to scale resources up or down as needed�making it highly cost-effective and efficient.
