Abstract

Cloud computing is one of the most important technologies in today’s digital world. It provides computing services such as servers, storage, databases, networking, and software over the internet instead of using local computers or physical servers. Organizations use cloud computing to reduce infrastructure costs, improve operational efficiency, and increase business flexibility. Cloud technology also enables businesses to access advanced technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and the Internet of Things (IoT). Although cloud computing offers many benefits, it also introduces challenges related to security, privacy, and data management. This paper explains the concepts of cloud computing, its service and deployment models, enterprise applications, advantages, disadvantages, and future developments.
