👉 Acknowledged computing, also known as cloud computing or distributed computing, refers to the delivery of computing services—including storage, processing power, and applications—over the internet from third-party providers. This model allows users to access resources on a pay-as-you-go basis, eliminating the need for expensive local hardware and infrastructure. Key features include scalability, where resources can be dynamically adjusted to meet demand, and flexibility, enabling users to work from anywhere with an internet connection. Cloud computing enhances collaboration, reduces maintenance costs, and supports a wide range of services from data storage and backup to complex data analytics and artificial intelligence. Major cloud providers like Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform are at the forefront of this technology, transforming how businesses and individuals manage and utilize computing resources.
