Cloud computing is the delivery of computing services (like storage, servers, and software) over the internet instead of on local hardware.
Why it matters:
- Provides flexibility and scalability — you can pay for what you need and scale up or down easily.
- Reduces the need for expensive on-premises infrastructure.
- Enables remote work and collaboration.
Pro tip: Not all clouds are the same — evaluate public, private, and hybrid models to match your needs for cost, performance, and security.
