Cloud computing is the delivery of computing services—including storage, processing power, databases, networking, and software—over the internet (the cloud) rather than on local servers or personal devices. The rise of cloud technologies over the past decade has revolutionized how businesses and individuals store and process data, making operations more efficient and scalable. From powering small startups to supporting large enterprises, cloud computing has become an integral part of modern IT infrastructure.
