What is Cloud Computing

The vector stencils library "Azure architecture - Cloud" contains 90 Microsoft Azure architecture symbols.
Use this cloud computing icon set to design your Azure architecture diagrams with ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software.
"Cloud computing allows application software to be operated using internet-enabled devices. Clouds can be classified as public, private, and hybrid. ...
Cloud computing relies on sharing of resources to achieve coherence and economies of scale, similar to a utility (like the electricity grid) over a network. At the foundation of cloud computing is the broader concept of converged infrastructure and shared services.
Cloud computing, or in simpler shorthand just "the cloud", also focuses on maximizing the effectiveness of the shared resources. Cloud resources are usually not only shared by multiple users but are also dynamically reallocated per demand. This can work for allocating resources to users. ... This approach should maximize the use of computing power thus reducing environmental damage as well since less power, air conditioning, rack space, etc. are required for a variety of functions. With cloud computing, multiple users can access a single server to retrieve and update their data without purchasing licenses for different applications." [Cloud computing. Wikipedia]
The symbols example "Design elements - Azure architecture - Cloud" is included in the Azure Architecture solution from the Computer and Networks area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

"In computer networking, cloud computing is computing that involves a large number of computers connected through a communication network such as the Internet, similar to utility computing. ...
Network-based services, which appear to be provided by real server hardware, and are in fact served up by virtual hardware, simulated by software running on one or more real machines are often called cloud computing. Such virtual servers do not physically exist and can therefore be moved around and scaled up or down on the fly without affecting the end user, somewhat like a cloud becoming larger or smaller without being a physical object. ...
Typically, the seller has actual energy-consuming servers which host products and services from a remote location, so end-users don't have to; they can simply log on to the network without installing anything. The major models of cloud computing service are known as software as a service, platform as a service, and infrastructure as a service. These cloud services may be offered in a public, private or hybrid network. Google, Amazon,leadsquared.com, Oracle Cloud, Salesforce, Zoho, Access2MyPC, and Microsoft Azure are some well-known cloud vendors." [Cloud computing. Wikipedia]
The AWS architecture diagram example "2-Tier Auto-scalable Web Application Architecture in 1 AZ" was created using the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software extended with the AWS Architecture Diagrams solution from the Computer and Networks area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.
