Definition

Cloud computing is a collective mix of adjustable system resources and advanced services that may be delivered swiftly over the internet. There are no capital expenditures, no redundancies, cheaper staff costs and better collaboration with this system. It improves our productivity, security, and flexibility.

In traditional computing, as the name implies, for daily operations, data is stored in physical data centres and a complete networking system is run. When a user is linked to an official network, they have limited access to data, software, and storage. Data can only be accessed on the machine where it is stored in this computing model.
