What is cloud computing?

Cloud computing provides computing services over the internet. These services include things like virtual machines, storage, databases, and networking that are needed for IT infrastructure. Cloud computing also offers newer services like Internet of Things (IoT), machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI). 

Unlike traditional data centers which are limited by their physical infrastructure, cloud computing can expand rapidly using the internet to deliver services. This means if you need to increase your IT infrastructure quickly, you can use the cloud. The cloud allows you to grow your IT footprint rapidly without waiting to build a new data center.

In summary, cloud computing delivers computing power and services over the internet. It can provide traditional IT infrastructure as well as newer technologies like AI. The cloud offers the ability to expand IT infrastructure rapidly without physical limitations. A short video provides a quick introduction to understanding cloud computing.
