The cloud delivers information technology as a service on demand, allowing users only to consume the capacity they need. The cloud is the infrastructure that the services run on. The cloud is a computing solution that provides shared resources over the Internet or on a private network. Computers in the cloud are configured to work together. The various applications use the collective computing power as if they are running on a single system. The flexibility of the cloud is a function of the allocation of resources on demand. This assignment of resources facilitates the use of the cumulative resources of the system, negating the need to assign specific hardware to a task. With the advent of the cloud, resources are used as an aggregated virtual computer. This amalgamated configuration provides an environment where applications execute independently without regard for any particular setting. Users only access the resources that they need for a specific task. As such, users benefit from the flexibility, economies of scale, and optimized management of resources.
