Cloud computing provides scalable and elastic IT capabilities as a service over the internet. It delivers computing power and storage as a service rather than a product. Clouds provide services like storage, networking, databases, and software to multiple users via internet technologies. Some benefits of cloud computing include decreased costs, utilization of unused resources, and lower energy consumption. While security concerns remain an issue, cloud computing offers solutions like data encryption and is driving innovation in areas like business intelligence, social networks, and platform-as-a-service models. Overall cloud computing represents a significant trend that will impact businesses and developers by lowering costs and improving choices.
