Cloud
The “Cloud” refers to a network of remote servers hosted on the internet that store, manage, and process data, rather than relying on local servers or personal computers. This technology enables users to access and utilize computing resources and services, such as storage, databases, software, and analytics, from anywhere with an internet connection. Cloud computing offers scalability, flexibility, and cost-efficiency, allowing individuals and organizations to quickly adapt to changing needs without significant upfront investment in hardware and infrastructure. Popular cloud service providers include Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
