• Cloud computing consists of two
words: cloud and computing.
Cloud is a metaphor for the
internet, so it means computing
on the internet. Basically, cloud
computing is the process of
manipulating, configuring, and
accessing online applications.
• In cloud computing, a cloud is
storage location that is present
at a remote location. It provides
services over the network, i.e.,
either on the public (WANSs) or
private networks (LANs).
• Google Drive, Microsoft
OneDrive, Dropbox, Apple
iCloud Drive are some of
the common examples of
free or low cost online
storage for the users
• Nowadays, the use of cloud
drives is in trend. People
use cloud storage to save
and share the data instead
of using physical drives.
This ensures the
availability of the computer
system resources on
demand.

• On-Demand Self
Service
In cloud computing, multiple clients can
share the resources and applications at
the same time. These cloud services
and resources can be used on-demand
and often bought on a subscription
basis without human interaction with
the service providers. To understand in
a better way, you buy cloud services
the same way you buy telephone
services, or the internet access from a
utility company and pay for them as per
the usage.
• Broad Network
Access
Cloud computing simply means
that the services can be
accessed on the internet
anytime and anywhere in the
world through multiple
devices, such as mobile
phones, tablets, laptops, etc.
• Resource Pooling
The resources, like virtual
server space, network
connections, bandwidth etc.,
are pooled by multiple users,
simultaneously from any
location, without being
interfered by the other users.
• Rapid Elasticity
Sometimes, consumers require
additional resources in a small
period of time. In such a
scenario, cloud computing is the
solution as it is enabled with the
elasticity feature. This allows the
consumers to transparently scale
up (increase) or scale down
(decrease) the resources
according to their computing
needs.
• Measured Service
Cloud computing is based on a
pay-for-what-you-use model
where resource usage is
