Cloud computing is a way of using the Internet to access software, information, and computing resources that are stored on shared servers rather than on your own device. This matters because it lets you use powerful tools and store large amounts of data without needing expensive equipment of your own.

Article

Cloud computing metaphor: the group of networked elements providing services does not need to be addressed or managed individually by users; instead, the entire provider-managed suite of hardware and software can be thought of as an amorphous cloud.

Cloud computing is defined by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) as "a paradigm for enabling network access to a scalable and elastic pool of shareable physical or virtual resources with self-service provisioning and administration on demand". It is commonly referred to as "the cloud".
