Abstract:
Cloud computing is a relatively new technological innovation that has brought about a revolution in how people, firms, and organizations utilize computer services. The use of cloud computing allows individuals and firms to access computing power via the internet whenever required. This can be in the form of storage capacity, software, databases, networking, and computational power. In recent times, cloud computing has emerged as the most important innovation in the field of information technology due to its ability to provide flexible and faster computing services. With the availability of computing services via the internet, users can now perform various tasks using any internet-enabled device, including their laptop computers and smartphones Cloud computing refers to offering services on demand. One does not have to buy costly machines or construct vast data centers since the cloud computing provider takes care of these aspects. Some companies that provide cloud services include Amazon Web Services, Microsoft, and Google. Cloud computing enables firms to increase their activities as per their requirements. Cloud computing is common in education, healthcare, financial institutions, entertainment, and many other industries. For instance, virtual classrooms, video streaming software, and online payment services require cloud computing extensively
