Cloud computing is a model for delivering computing services over the internet, where resources such as servers, storage, databases, software, and applications are provided as a service to users on-demand. This paradigm has revolutionized the way businesses and individuals access and utilize computing resources, enabling greater flexibility, scalability, and cost savings. With the global cloud computing market projected to reach $791 billion by 2028, according to a report by [[marketsandmarkets|MarketsandMarkets]], cloud computing has become an essential component of modern computing. The concept of cloud computing was first introduced by [[douglas-parkhill|Douglas Parkhill]] in his 1966 book 'The Challenge of the Computer Utility', and has since evolved to include various service models, such as Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS). As noted by [[amazon-web-services|Amazon Web Services]] (AWS), a leading cloud computing platform, the benefits of cloud computing include increased agility, reduced costs, and improved reliability.
