Plain-English definition
cloud
What it means
The cloud means using computers and storage that live in someone else's big data center and that you reach over the internet, instead of owning and maintaining the machines yourself. It lets your app grow or shrink easily as your needs change.
In plain terms
Like getting electricity from the grid: you plug in and draw exactly as much as you need, rather than running and fueling your own generator in the backyard.
