Towards Sustainable Cloud Computing: Evaluating Government Policies and Environmental Impacts in India.

Cloud computing has revolutionized the way we access and manage data.Instead of depending on traditional on-site servers, it provides computing resources like servers, storage, software, and networking over the internet.Think of it as renting electricity -you only pay for what you use, eliminating the need for complex infrastructure maintenance.The evolution of cloud computing has been ongoing for decades.In the 1960s, the concept of computing as a utility emerged.The 1990s witnessed the rise of "grid computing," enabling distributed computing power.Finally, true cloud computing emerged in the early 2000s, with companies offering virtual servers from their excess capacity.Today, major players like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud Platform dominate the industry.
