This document provides an overview of cloud computing. It defines cloud computing as storing and accessing data and programs over the Internet instead of a computer's hard drive. The cloud delivers computing resources like storage, databases, and computing power over the Internet. There are different types of cloud services including Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS). Cloud computing provides advantages like reduced costs, scalability, and accessibility but also risks around security, privacy, and dependency on cloud providers.
