Cloud computing refers to the delivery of various services over the internet. Instead of storing data or running applications on a local server or computer, cloud computing allows users to access these services and resources through the internet from a remote location. This means that users can access software, storage, databases, and other computing services over the internet, often referred to as "the cloud."

Cloud computing offers several advantages, including:

Scalability: Users can scale their computing resources up or down based on their needs without the hassle of managing physical hardware.

Accessibility: Cloud services can be accessed from anywhere with an internet connection, providing flexibility and mobility to users.

Cost-Efficiency: Users can avoid the costs associated with maintaining and upgrading physical hardware. They typically pay for the cloud services they use on a subscription or pay-as-you-go basis.

Automatic Updates: Cloud service providers handle software maintenance and updates, ensuring that users always have access to the latest features and security enhancements.

Collaboration: Cloud computing facilitates collaboration among users by allowing them to access and work on shared documents and projects in real-time.

Examples of cloud computing services include cloud storage (like Google Drive or Dropbox), cloud-based productivity suites (such as Google Workspace and Microsoft 365), and cloud platforms that allow developers to build, deploy, and scale applications (like Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform).
