Detailed Explanation
Cloud computing provides scalable access to computing resources without requiring direct active management by users. It encompasses various service models (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS) and deployment models (public, private, hybrid). Cloud platforms offer virtualized resources, automated system management, and built-in redundancy and security features. Modern cloud services provide specialized AI and ML services, including pre-trained models, model training infrastructure, and AI-specific hardware access.
Use Cases
Hosting AI applications, training large machine learning models, data storage and processing, web services, enterprise applications, development and testing environments
