Cloud computing allows for shared computing resources to be accessed over the internet as opposed to using local servers or devices. It is made up of grid infrastructure and utilizes virtualization and web applications. Key aspects include the user interface, services catalog, system management, provisioning tools, and monitoring/metering of resources. Benefits include cost savings for resources and storage, scalable services, and redundancy for disaster recovery. The future of cloud computing remains uncertain but major players include Amazon, Google, and virtualization technologies.

Technical Key Points
User interaction interface: How users of cloud interface with the cloud Services catalog: Services a user can request System management: Manages the resources available Provisioning tool: Carves out the systems from the cloud to deliver on the requested service Monitoring and metering: Tracks the usage of the cloud (optional) Servers: Virtual or physical servers managed by System management
