Cloud computing delivers computing resources, including servers, storage, databases, and networking, as on-demand services over the internet, eliminating the need for organizations to own and maintain physical infrastructure. Service models are typically categorized as Infrastructure as a Service, Platform as a Service, and Software as a Service, deployed across public, private, or hybrid environments. Core research areas include resource allocation and load balancing, virtual machine and container scheduling, auto-scaling under variable workloads, cost optimization, and meeting service-level agreements under fluctuating demand. Roughly 94 percent of enterprises now use cloud services in some form according to recent industry surveys, with most running multi-cloud or hybrid strategies that raise distinct challenges in data security and multi-tenant isolation. Newer research directions include serverless computing, edge-cloud continuum architectures, and energy-efficient data center design. Applications span enterprise IT, big data analytics platforms, and the backend infrastructure for mobile and IoT applications. As an open-access cloud computing journal, IJACSA covers cloud architectures, performance evaluation studies, and security frameworks for hybrid environments.
