Cloud computing is a way to use computer stuff like servers, storage, and software over the internet. Instead of having to buy and manage all the hardware yourself, you can rent it from companies that offer cloud services. This setup has many advantages, like being able to change how much you use based on your needs, saving money, being flexible, and accessing your stuff from anywhere with internet.
