Cloud Service
Cloud service is the number of services that various vendors may provide to their end-users through the cloud. All of those services are fully managed by plants of servers that are equipped with hardware much more powerful than ordinary computers do to facilitate significant user traffic and concurrently handle thousands, if not millions, of requests. [1, 98-100] Frequently, cloud services use remote servers to provide services that are too expensive to operate by a person and provide them access to their computational power through the Internet in exchange for payment. However, the exact business models may vary. Common services provided by cloud providers include:
hard drive storage (example: Google Drive, GitHub);
photo and video editing and hosting (YouTube, Canva);
web apps deployments (Firebase, AWS, Oracle, Jenkins);
machine learning model fitting (Google Collab, AWS). [2, 99-102]
