Cloud computing is Internet ("cloud") based development and use of computer technology ("computing"). It is a style of computing in which
dynamically scalable and often
virtualised resources are provided as a service over the Internet. Users need not have knowledge of, expertise in, or control over the technology infrastructure "in the cloud" that supports them.
