What’s the Cloud Computing

Cloud computing is a paradigm for enabling network access to a scalable and elastic pool of shareable physical or virtual resources with self-service provisioning and administration on-

demand. (Source : ISO/IEC 17788 | Recommendation ITU-T Y.3500 “Information

technology - Cloud computing - Overview and vocabulary”)
