Cloud Computing

A computing paradigm that makes extensive use of virtualization and containerization to execute workloads in an elastic, on-demand manner (compare with the queue-based mechanisms typically used in high-performance computing environments). Cloud computing platforms are widely available as commercial offerings as well as in any institutional settings. Scientific uses of cloud computing are common, especially for low- to moderate-scale computing needs.
