In simple terms, making available tools and applications like data storage, server, database, and networking over the internet. It is considered a good alternative to working remotely. Instead of using a local storage device, you can save it on the internet. The biggest advantage is you can access any file from anywhere that will be saved on cloud storage. A worthy environment to increase productivity and performance. Many companies provide cloud services and solutions to enable them to store their files and applications.

Cloud computing can either be provided by a public company or hosted by a private one. Public companies provide these services for a fee. A third party handles such platforms. Whereas, private companies especially host a platform for a particular client. Users are not required to be present physically to access the respective files. Only an internet connection is enough. A new technology that is being used by top companies and mid-size firms.

Cloud service models are further categorized into the following:

1. IaaS (Infrastructure as a service)

One of the layers of cloud computing that acts as a pay-as-per-use model. A method of ranting out of IT infrastructure. The client pays to outsource some services that include servers, networking, processing, and virtual machines. To meet the demands of the users, customers can customize the virtual resources at any time. Customers are likely to purchase, install and configure a cloud server to gain access to it. While managing the physical end of the infrastructure, eliminates every capital expense. Furthermore, it handles the day-to-day work by updating the software. Security protection and disaster recovery are also provided.

4. FaaS (Function as a service)

Do you know of the word serverless computing? FaaS usually conduct serverless computing to maintain a low-level infrastructure. Developers are not required to manage the allocation of resources. Cloud service providers maintain the resources in the cloud servers. Developers lay stress on writing application coding. Instead of wasting their time on server logistics.
