What Is Cloud Computing

Cloud computing is a form of Internet-based computing that provides shared resources, software, and information to computers and other devices on-demand, characterized by self-service provisioning and administration. This paradigm, as defined by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), enables network access to a scalable and elastic pool of shareable physical or virtual resources. Cloud computing has revolutionized the way businesses and individuals access and utilize computing resources, offering greater flexibility, scalability, and cost-effectiveness compared to traditional on-premises computing models.
