Abstract
This research paper delves into the multifaceted realm of cloud computing, providing a comprehensive analysis of its evolution, technological underpinnings, and significant impact across various sectors. The paper begins by elucidating the historical progression and fundamental concepts of cloud computing, tracing its roots from the early stages to the present-day sophisticated infrastructure.A thorough exploration of the technological architecture of cloud computing is presented, encompassing virtualization, service models (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS), and deployment models (public, private, hybrid). It delves into the underlying mechanisms that enable resource pooling, on-demand provisioning, elasticity, and self-service access, emphasizing their role in reshaping the IT landscape.Furthermore, the paper investigates the substantial impact of cloud computing across diverse domains, including business, academia, healthcare, and government sectors. It highlights the transformative effects on operational efficiency, cost optimization, scalability, and innovation. Additionally, it addresses concerns regarding security, data privacy, and regulatory compliance, which have emerged as critical considerations within the cloud environment.
