10-
Cloud computing is a model that offers compute resources like CPU, network, and disk capabilities on-demand over the internet.
11-
Cloud computing gives users the ability to access and use computing power in a remote physical location.
12-
Cloud providers like AWS, GCP, Azure, DigitalOcean, and others all offer third parties
13-
the ability to rent access to compute resources in multiple geographic locations.

Cloud computing offers compute resources like CPU, network, and disk capabilities on-demand over the internet, allowing users to access and use computing power in a remote physical location.
11+
We generally differentiate between private and public cloud, depending on whether the cloud infrastructure is exclusively dedicated to an organization or shared for open public services.

to host their physical servers and network or expand and maintain those facilities.

Organizations traditionally faced two main challenges when attempting to expand computing power.
16+
They could either acquire, support, and design (new) facilities to host their physical servers and network or expand and maintain existing ones.
17+
Cloud computing solves that challenge by allowing organizations to outsource some of their computing needs.

24-
Cloud providers offer organizations the ability to rent compute resources on-demand and pay for usage.

This allows for two major innovations:
26-
Organizations can focus on their product or service without waiting, planning, and spending resources on new physical infrastructure. They can simply [scale](/scalability/) as needed and on-demand.

Cloud providers allow organizations to rent compute resources on-demand and pay for usage, delivering two key benefits.
22+
First, organizations can focus on their product or service without waiting, planning, and spending resources on new physical infrastructure. And second, they can simply [scale](/scalability/) on-demand as needed.
