Cloud Computing

Definition
Cloud computing is the delivery of computing services—including servers, storage,
databases, networking, software, analytics, and intelligence—over the internet (the cloud)
to offer faster innovation, flexible resources, and economies of scale.

History of Cloud Computing


Cloud computing has its roots in the 1960s when computing time-sharing services were
introduced. The concept evolved with the development of the internet, leading to the launch
of Amazon Web Services (AWS) in 2006, which popularized the cloud computing model.
Since then, major companies like Google, Microsoft, and IBM have expanded cloud services.

Drawbacks of Cloud Computing


1. Security and privacy risks
2. Downtime and availability issues
3. Dependency on internet connectivity
4. Compliance and legal challenges
5. Limited control over infrastructure

Types of Cloud Computing


1. **Public Cloud** - Services provided over the internet by third-party providers.
2. **Private Cloud** - Exclusive cloud services for a single organization.
