Key Characteristics: Scalable: Instantly scale resources up or down.
Elastic: Automatically adjusts based on demand.
Managed: Providers handle maintenance, updates, and security.
Types: IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service): Virtual machines, storage (e.g., AWS EC2)
PaaS (Platform as a Service): Development platforms (e.g., Google App Engine)
SaaS (Software as a Service): Web-based software (e.g., Gmail, Salesforce)
