What is cloud-based software?


 A simple cloud server definition is cloud servers are virtual (not physical) servers running in a cloud computing environment that can be accessed on demand by unlimited users.


Cloud servers work just like physical servers, and they perform similar functions like storing data and running applications. Because cloud services are hosted by third-party providers, they deliver computing resources over a network, most often through the internet.


The primary difference between a cloud server and a traditional server is that a cloud server can be shared among many users over an accessible platform, often through a network such as the internet. Cloud servers are remotely accessed, they're generally more stable and secure than traditional servers.

Examples :

  • Google Drive
  • Microsoft Azure
  • Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances
