March 9, 20261 min read

Cloud computing has transformed how organizations build, deploy, and scale applications. In this guide, we cover the fundamentals.

Defining Cloud Computing

Cloud computing is the on-demand delivery of IT resources over the internet. Instead of owning and maintaining physical servers, you pay for what you use.

Service Models

  • IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service): Virtual machines, storage, and networking.
  • PaaS (Platform as a Service): Run and manage applications without managing the underlying infrastructure.
  • SaaS (Software as a Service): Ready-to-use applications delivered over the web.

Why Move to the Cloud?

Benefits include scalability, cost efficiency, global reach, and faster innovation. Whether you're a startup or an enterprise, the cloud offers flexibility and resilience.
