Cloud computing relies on sharing computing resources over the internet rather than local servers. It provides software, platforms, and infrastructure as on-demand services (SaaS, PaaS, IaaS). Key benefits include lower costs, improved performance, universal access, unlimited storage, and constant software updates. However, it requires constant internet and may be slow with low-speed connections while storing data in the cloud also raises security and reliability concerns. Overall, cloud computing provides massive computing power through a network of servers accessed remotely.
