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.

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.

## Problem it addresses

14
17
-
Organizations traditionally faced two main problems when attempting to expand their use of computing power.
18
-
They either acquire, support, design, and pay for facilities
19
-
to host their physical servers and network or expand and maintain those facilities.
20
-
Cloud computing allows organizations to outsource some portion of their computing needs to another organization.

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.

Cloud computing solves that challenge by allowing organizations to outsource some of their computing needs.

## How it helps

24
-
Cloud providers offer organizations the ability to rent compute resources on-demand and pay for usage.
25
-
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.

Cloud computing allows organizations to adopt as much or as little infrastructure as they need.
