Cloud Computing is a computing service provisioning and delivery model in which users get access to dynamically scalable computing capacity over the network in a pay-as-you-use payment scheme. While its attractiveness may differ depending on whom you've talked to, its service-oriented nature gives users two important benefits: ease of application deployment (someone else's hard works laying down the hardware and software foundation) and on-demand access anytime from anywhere. These characterstics make Cloud Computing ideally suited for developers who want to quickly try something out in an isolated "good" environment without the overhead of system setup or the capital expenses of paying for systems they no longer need after they are done.
