👉 Bought computing, also known as cloud computing with a focus on purchasing resources rather than subscribing to services, refers to the practice of individuals or organizations buying computing resources—such as virtual machines, storage, and network bandwidth—from cloud service providers. This model allows users to scale their computing power up or down based on demand, paying only for what they use, which contrasts with traditional IT infrastructure where organizations often lease or purchase hardware outright. By buying computing resources, businesses can achieve greater flexibility, cost efficiency, and scalability, as they are not tied to fixed hardware purchases and can quickly adapt to changing workloads or project needs. This approach also enables organizations to leverage advanced technologies and services without the upfront capital expenditure, making it a popular choice for startups, enterprises, and developers alike.
