Cloud computing is an information technology paradigm that enables ubiquitous access to shared pools of configurable system resources and higher-level services that can be rapidly provisioned with minimal management effort, often over the Internet. Cloud computing relies on sharing of resources to achieve coherence and economies of scale, similar to a public utility. Third-party clouds enable organizations to focus on their core businesses instead of expending resources on computer infrastructur
The cloudâs essential component, water, can be found in all three states; in addition to droplets of liquid water, clouds contain water in its gaseous form, called water vapor, and in cold weather, they can become frozen into solids. [2] How Do Clouds Form? Clouds are a combination of water droplets and condensation nuclei. Clouds are formed when evaporation pulls water into the air creating the gaseous form of water called water vapor. When the air becomes saturated, water vapor condenses into liquid water droplets. However, it takes more than gaseous water vapor and liquid water droplets to form a cloud. These water droplets require condensation nuclei to condense upon such as dust, pollen, or smoke.
