Cloud computing allows users to access computing resources like software, data storage, and processing power over the internet rather than maintaining those resources locally. It provides resources on demand in a manner similar to a public utility. Cloud computing offers advantages like lower costs, easier maintenance and updates, and increased data safety and availability compared to traditional computing models, but also has disadvantages like dependence on internet access and potential performance issues.
