CLOUD COMPUTING

Cloud computing is a way of storing, assessing and saving your work online, instead of saving it on
your computer or your smartphone. You can think of it as a hard disk over the Internet. The users
can access files and applications anytime and from any device with an active Internet connection.
Cloud service includes databases, networking, software, storage and servers over the Internet in
a seamless way. Individuals and companies can rent or buy cloud storage from a Cloud service

provider instead of owning and maintaining the complete computing infrastructure. This saves
them from the operating costs and problems associated with maintaining their infrastructure.
The idea of cloud computing was introduced by the scientist John McCarthy. He introduced the
term timesharing, which would enable the organisations to share a mainframe computer. But the
term Cloud Computing was coined by Prof. Ramnath Chellapa in the year 1997. In 1999, the first

cloud computing services websites launched were Salesforce.com and Google.
All the social networking sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Myspace, X, Netflix and WhatsApp

use cloud computing. In fact, all your personal data, photographs and other details that you
share on these websites are saved on the Cloud! OneDrive, Google
Drive, Dropbox, Amazon Web Service, etc., are some examples of cloud
backup services where you can save and keep your data secure. Alexa
and Google Assistant are natural language cloud-based bots. A bot is a
software program that can do repetitive tasks over the Internet. Examples
are chatbots, social bots, Googlebot, etc.
