Cloud Computing Essentials

Cloud computing is a model of on-demand access to shared computing resources, offering rapid elasticity and optimized resource use through metering.
There are three core characteristics:
- Resource Pooling
- Measured Service
- Rapid Elasticity
Latency is not an essential characteristic.
