    What exactly is cloud computing?

    • A way to organize desktop computers

    • Lightweight software that takes up little space on a hard drive

    • Computing resources that can be accessed on demand, like electricity from a utility

    • The World Wide Web

    • Wireless Internet access

    Correct Answer
    A. Computing resources that can be accessed on demand, like electricity from a utility
    Explanation
    Cloud computing refers to the provision of computing resources that can be accessed on demand, similar to how electricity is obtained from a utility. It involves the use of remote servers to store, manage, and process data instead of relying on local computers or servers. This allows users to access and utilize computing resources, such as storage, processing power, and applications, over the internet as and when needed. The analogy to electricity from a utility highlights the flexibility, scalability, and convenience of cloud computing, where resources can be easily scaled up or down based on demand.

    Explanation
    The term "on-demand" is often used interchangeably with "Software as a Service (SaaS)". SaaS refers to a software delivery model where applications are hosted by a provider and made available to customers over the internet. This means that users can access the software on-demand, without needing to install or maintain it locally. Therefore, SaaS can be considered as an on-demand solution for software needs. The other options, "outsourced" and "out-of-the-box software", do not necessarily imply the same on-demand nature as SaaS.

It also enables the software provider to easily manage and update the software for all customers simultaneously. Therefore, the use of multi-tenant architecture is a characteristic of SaaS-based software.
