The term "cloud computing" is mostly used to sell hosted services in the sense of application service provisioning that run client server software at a remote location.

Cloud use service model : IaaS (Infrastructure as a service) , PaaS(Platform as a service) , SaaS (Software as a service ).

Simple example that use cloud is : Microsoft Azure , Amazon's Ec2 , google drive

Cloud is only application that provide user infrastructure , platform or software online with user-defined requirement and is scalable . that is maintained and upgraded by cloud provider.

user have to pay only for what they are using.
