Cloud Computing is one of the most exciting, revolutionary, and industry-changing technologies for businesses and careers. One of the simplest explanations of cloud services is the idea of offloading responsibility of infrastructure maintenance. In a traditional client-server model, companies do not offload responsibility of their infrastructure that includes servers, storage, or networking. Instead, they purchase expensive, complex, and often proprietary hardware, hire a team of experts to manage that hardware. With the cloud, some or all these responsibilities can be offloaded to a CSPs (Cloud Service Providers).
