cloud computing
Cloud computing refers to the delivery of on-demand computing services
over the internet on a pay-as-you-go basis.

In simple words, Cloud computing is a service that lets you use any computing
service such as a server, storage, networking, databases, and intelligence,
right through your browser without owning anything. You can do anything you
can think of unless it doesn’t require you to stay close to your hardware to
use it like you can’t do document scanning or printing because it requires you
to stay close to your printer.
The word ‘cloud’ in cloud computing originated from the internet symbol which
is actually represented by a cloud used in a network diagrams.
