What Is Cloud Computing? — VoltronAI

Cloud computing is a model of delivering computing resources, including servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics, and intelligence, over the internet to help businesses and individuals meet their computing needs. It is a revolutionary technology that has changed the way we think about and use computing resources, and it has become an essential part of our lives, both at home and at work.

At its core, cloud computing is about delivering computing resources as a service, rather than as a product. Instead of buying and managing hardware and software on your own, you can access the same resources over the internet, and pay only for what you use. This allows businesses and individuals to scale their computing resources up or down as needed, without having to make significant upfront investments in hardware and software.

There are three main types of cloud computing services: Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS).

IaaS provides basic computing infrastructure, such as servers, storage, and networking, over the internet. With IaaS, you can rent virtual machines and storage, and scale your resources up or down as needed. This allows businesses to save money on hardware and software investments, and to focus on their core business operations.
