Cloud computing has revolutionized information technology, allowing for the on-demand access of shared pools of configurable computing resources such as networks, servers, storage, applications, and services. The cloud allows better scalability, flexibility, and cost, giving an organization the ability to adjust its IT infrastructure according to real-time needs. Generally, cloud services can be put into three delivery models: IaaS (Infrastructure as Service), PaaS (Platform as Service), and SaaS (Software as Service), each addressing a particular type of user requirement. However, several advantages notwithstanding, cloud computing poses a major challenge in terms of data security, privacy, regulatory compliance, and service availability. The ongoing increase in cloud adoption across the spectrum necessitates the need for continuous research and innovation to overcome these challenges and enhance the reliability and trustworthiness of cloud-based environments. This paper examines the basic concepts, architectural models, advantages, and disadvantages of cloud computing, giving emphasis to emerging trends and future directions in the area.
