Cloud provider is an organization that provides resources, services, and products based on its own physical hardware. These include server platforms, switches, and storage.
The provider offers end customers software or hardware products as a self-service service that allows you to create, edit or eliminate virtual machines, as well as configure the provided computing resources: storage size, network speeds, memory size, load balancer, etc.
Cloud infrastructure for rent
Entire platforms are available for large clients. For example, a company can rent a cloud data center for its current business tasks or use the technical support service of a cloud provider to solve its own problems.
Payment for the provider’s services, as a rule, consists of monthly payments. They are calculated depending on the computing resources consumed and the load.
