Definition of Cloud Computing
“Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient, ondemand network access to a shared pool of configurable
computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage,
applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned
and released with minimal management effort or service
provider interaction.”
