                What is Cloud Computing
       Resource availability is a key factor to achieve prosperity 
         of any society,
       Particularly important are computing resources
       To attain their full potential, computing resources need to 
         be efficiently utilized preferably in an aggregated manner. 
       The demand for computing resources can now be met by 
         utility computing, grid computing, and most recently cloud 
         computing.

                 What is Cloud Computing
                            Utility Computing
      Utility computing providers rent capacity on computing resources 
       that they maintain
        Metered computing: analogous to electric power (Pay per use)
        Resources often virtualized and shared by multiple tenants
        Example: Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (estimated $60 
           USD/Month for one EC2 Instance for 24hrs/day-7days/week). Pay 
           per use option
            Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) web service 
              provides resizable compute capacity in the cloud
            Designed to make web-scale computing easier for developers.
