Abstract

Cloud computing is like a group of computer services that people can use over the internet. These services are really flexible so you can use more or less of them as you need to. Cloud computing is great because it means you do not have to spend a lot of money on computer equipment and stuff. This is especially good for businesses that need a lot of computer power. Usually cloud computing services are provided by companies that own all the equipment. The cloud computing system is really flexible. Can be used on the Internet with small devices that are easy to carry. This means that the new and existing software can do a lot things and handle more work. Because the pay-per-use model is so good, where you only pay for what you use like computer power, number of transactions, internet speed, amount of data sent and storage space many industries like banking, healthcare and education are moving to cloud computing. Cloud computing is making it possible for these industries to do more with less. Many people are using it because it is convenient and cost effective. Cloud computing is the way for many industries including banking, healthcare and education. They are worried, about security and some other problems. The main thing that is stopping cloud computing from getting bigger is security. This research paper is going to tell us what cloud computing is. It will also talk about the cloud models and give us a general idea of what the cloud computing architecture looks like.
