What is cloud computing?

In the vast expanse of the digital realm, some 20 years ago, a new concept emerged, heralding a revolutionary paradigm shift in the world of computing: the cloud. It represents a departure from traditional computing models, where physical hardware and software were tightly bound to individual devices or data centers. The cloud, on the other hand, offers a flexible, scalable, and interconnected ecosystem that empowers users and organizations like never before.

Cloud computing is a computing paradigm that has transformed the way information technology is accessed, delivered, and utilized. Instead of relying on local servers and physical infrastructure, cloud computing enables users and organizations to access and utilize computing resources, such as servers, storage, databases, software applications, and more, remotely through the internet.
