Cloud computing is the delivery of computing services—such as servers, storage, databases, networking, software, and analytics—over the internet (the cloud). This allows businesses to access and store data and applications on remote servers instead of on local computers or on-premises data centers.

Cloud migration is the process of moving data, applications, or other business elements from an organization’s on-premises infrastructure to the cloud.
