Definition
"Cloud computing" refers to the practice of using a network of remote servers hosted on the internet to store, manage, and process data instead of relying on a local server or personal computer. It enables users to access resources and software on demand from anywhere with internet connectivity.
Etymology
The term "cloud computing" originates from the use of a cloud-shaped symbol to represent the internet or large networks in technical diagrams. This symbolic cloud represents the complex infrastructure hidden from the user, making the concept of computing resources delivered over the internet more approachable and easier to understand.
