Storage. Databases. Networking. Software. Analytics. Intelligence: over the internet. These services are provided on-demand and pay-as-you-go, and allow businesses to scale and innovate faster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The working mechanism of cloud computing is centered on virtualization and distributed computing. Users interact with a frontend interface, while the backend systems (cloud servers) manage data processing and resource management. This decouples infrastructure from physical limitations, which provides high availability and flexible resource provisioning.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cloud_Deployment_Models_in_Cloud_Computing\"><\/span>Cloud Deployment Models in Cloud Computing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Public_Cloud\"><\/span>1.
