2. Cloud Computing Defined
• Cloud computing refers to the delivery of
computing and storage capacity as a service
to a heterogeneous community of end-
recipients. The name comes from the use of
clouds as an abstraction for the complex
infrastructure it contains in system diagrams.
Cloud computing entrusts services with a
user's data, software and computation over a
network. It has considerable overlap with
software as a service (SaaS).
