Cloud
term_id: cloud
Category: basic_concepts
Definition
Cloud computing provides scalable infrastructure for AI workloads, allowing developers to access powerful GPUs and storage without maintaining physical data centers. It supports various service models like Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) for training large models and Platform as a Service (PaaS) for deploying applications. This flexibility enables rapid experimentation and deployment of machine learning solutions at a global scale.
Summary
The cloud refers to remote servers hosted on the internet used to store, manage, and process data and AI models instead of local hardware.
