What is Cloud computing… for an common human to understand

Standard

Cloud is shared… experience, Infrastructure, resources (CPU, memory, network).

Due to the very high complexity and cost of such infrastructures it is easier to lease such platforms/ instances from a provider, vendor. This centralized massive infrastructure enables the deployment of massive centralized applications to be created, and to be accessed/ shared from a massive audience simultaneously from Everywhere there is Internet connection.

Which changes the game of a traditional enterprise environment…

The result… lowering the end user cost for accessing these applications

at a better quality, speed, security (Video streaming and Netflix is one good example of cloud utilization).
