6.2 Cloud Computing
Cloud computing is a model that allows easy and convenient access to computing resources like servers, storage, and applications over the internet. These resources can be quickly provided and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction. Cloud computing is like having a powerful computer that you can access over the internet. Instead of buying and maintaining your own expensive computers and storage devices, you can use cloud services to store data, run applications, and manage your computing needs. This makes it easier and cheaper to get things done, as you can use as much or as little of the service as you need, and you only pay for what you use. It is like renting a supercomputer that you can use whenever you need it, from anywhere in the world.
