Cloud systems provide on-demand computing resources over the internet. These systems deliver services like servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics, and intelligence without direct active management by the user. They operate through large data centers, offering scalability and flexibility to various applications. This infrastructure supports operations ranging from web hosting to complex data processing.
