What is Cloud Computing?
- Cloud computing is the delivery of computing services—including servers, storage, databases, networking, software—over the Internet ("the cloud") to offer faster innovation, flexible resources, and economies of scale.
How Do I Remember It?
- Think of cloud computing as renting a fully furnished apartment instead of buying and maintaining your own house. You get all the benefits without the hassle of maintenance.
Real World Example
- When you use Google Docs, you're using cloud computing. The document is stored on Google's servers, not your computer, and you can access it from any device with an internet connection.
