Cloud software places applications and data on the internet servers and replaces local installations with any time usage. No hardware headaches – scale on demand, pay as you go.
Types of Cloud Models
Anyone can use public clouds such as AWS or Google Cloud that host shared servers. The private clouds ensure the safety of company data on special infrastructure. Hybrid is an amalgamation of both. SaaS (e.g., Google Workspace) operates complete apps; PaaS develops bespoke ones; IaaS offers crude servers.
