Cloud computing is a type of computing architecture where resources, software, and information are accessed remotely over the internet. This model allows businesses and individuals to use powerful computing resources without having to invest in their own hardware and software infrastructure. The resources can include virtual machines, storage, networks, databases, and software applications that are hosted on remote servers by cloud service providers. The architecture provides the ability to scale up or down computing resources as needed, making it a flexible and cost-effective solution for many businesses.
