☁️ Cloud Computing for Services

Deliver, scale, and manage services anywhere — without managing hardware.

What is Cloud Computing? It's the delivery of computing resources — servers, storage, databases, networking, software — over the internet on demand. Instead of owning infrastructure, you rent exactly what you need, when you need it.

Service Models

🏗️
IaaS

Infrastructure as a Service

Rent virtual machines, storage, and networking. You manage the OS and everything above it. Best for full control.

🛠️
PaaS

Platform as a Service

Deploy apps without managing servers. The provider handles the runtime, OS, and scaling. Best for developers.

💼
SaaS

Software as a Service

Ready-to-use apps delivered via browser. No install, no maintenance. Best for end users and businesses.
