Evening all,
According to NIST:
Cloud computing is a pay-per-use model for enabling available, convenient, on-demand
network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks,
servers, storage, applications, services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with
minimal management effort or service provider interaction. This cloud model promotes
availability and is comprised of five key characteristics, three delivery models, and four
deployment models.
