What is Cloud Computing?

According to National Institute of Standards and Technology, Maryland (NIST), Cloud computing can be defined as “a pay-per-use model for enabling available, convenient, on-demand access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources which can be rapidly provided and released with minimal service provider interaction or management efforts. This model comprises five key characteristics, three key service models, and four deployment methods.
