Cloud computing is a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g. networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction.
There are three service models of cloud computing services: Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Intrastructure as a Services (IaaS).
