Cloud computing is the provision of on-demand computing services such as software, operating system, processing power, storage and other hardware resource over the internet or Network.

Cloud computing is a model of enabling global, appropriate, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction. This cloud model is composed of five essential characteristics, four deployment models and three service models.
