Defini2on of Cloud Compu2ng: 
on‐demand 
Cloud compu9ng is a model for enabling convenient, on‐demand network 
access to a shared pool of configurable compu9ng resources (e.g., networks, 
shared
servers, storage, applica9ons, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned 
and released with minimal management effort or service provider
