Cloud computing terminology and definition are often confusing for many software developers. The tutorial helps you to know the cloud characteristics quickly. Cloud computing is commonly characterized as providing three types of functionality that provide computing services from a remote location over a network. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), a U.S. government agency, has a definition of cloud computing that is generally considered the gold standard. Providing Service over a Network generally call it as Cloud Computing Rather than trying to create my own definition, I always defer to NIST's definition. The following information is drawn directly from it. Cloud computing is a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or serv...
