Rather than buying and maintaining physical servers, users can access computing resources from cloud providers like <strong>Amazon Web Services (AWS)<\/strong>, <strong>Microsoft Azure<\/strong>, or <strong>Google Cloud Platform (GCP)<\/strong>.\n  <\/p>\n<h2>Key Characteristics<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>On-Demand Self-Service:<\/strong> Provision resources as needed without human intervention.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Broad Network Access:<\/strong> Services are accessible via internet-connected devices.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Resource Pooling:<\/strong> Shared infrastructure among users ensures efficiency.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Rapid Elasticity:<\/strong> Scale resources up or down quickly as needed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Measured Service:<\/strong> Pay only for what you use.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Cloud Service Models<\/h2>\n<h3>1. IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service)<\/h3>\n<p>Provides virtualized hardware resources. You manage the operating system, apps, and data. <br \/><strong>Examples:<\/strong> Amazon EC2, Azure Virtual Machines<\/p>\n<h3>2. PaaS (Platform as a Service)<\/h3>\n<p>Provides a ready-to-use platform for developers to build, test, and deploy applications. <br \/><strong>Examples:<\/strong> Google App Engine, Heroku<\/p>\n<h3>3. SaaS (Software as a Service)<\/h3>\n<p>Fully hosted applications accessed via the internet. No need to manage infrastructure. <br \/><strong>Examples:<\/strong> Gmail, Dropbox, Microsoft 365<\/p>\n<h2>Deployment Models<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Public Cloud:<\/strong> Operated by third-party providers.
