Cloud computing provides computing resources and services over the Internet. It allows users to access servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics and more without owning the physical infrastructure. There are three main service models of cloud computing: Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). SaaS delivers applications through the internet, PaaS provides platforms for application development, and IaaS provides basic computing and storage infrastructure. A case study on FYJC 2010 admissions in Mumbai showed how deploying applications on a private cloud with dynamic scaling of virtualized web servers helped handle a large volume of 150+ million hits and 350GB of bandwidth
