Cloud computing, at its core, refers to the delivery of various computing services—including servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics, and intelligence—over the Internet ("the cloud"). This model allows individuals and organizations to access and use these resources on-demand, typically on a pay-as-you-go basis, rather than owning and maintaining physical data centers and servers. For those new to the lexicon of technology, imagine the cloud as a vast, interconnected network of powerful computers that you can tap into whenever you need, from virtually anywhere with an internet connection.
