Cloud computing is the delivery of computing services over the Internet. It enables users and businesses to access software, storage, databases, and more from anywhere without needing to manage physical servers or storage infrastructure. There are three main types of cloud computing services: Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS). IaaS provides virtual servers and storage, PaaS provides development platforms, and SaaS provides software applications delivered via the web. Cloud computing offers benefits like reduced costs, increased scalability and flexibility, global access, and relief from managing physical infrastructure.
