What exactly is cloud computing?

AA way to organize desktop computers

CComputing resources that can be accessed on demand, like electricity from a utility ✓ Correct

DThe World Wide Web

Correct answer: (C) Computing resources that can be accessed on demand, like electricity from a utility

Explanation

Cloud computing delivers computing resources on demand over the internet, billed and scaled much like electricity from a utility.

Organising desktop computers is a matter of local hardware arrangement, not cloud provisioning.

Software that uses little hard-drive space describes a lightweight program, unrelated to the cloud model.

The World Wide Web is a system of linked documents, only one service that runs over the internet.

Cloud services span infrastructure, platform and software delivered as remote, metered offerings.

The utility analogy captures pay-as-you-use access without owning the underlying machines.
