        abstract = {Cloud computing has become a major way to use technology, allowing easy access to computing power that can grow and change as needed, while also saving money.
This paper brings together important research to give a clear picture of cloud computing. It covers basic ideas, key features, different ways it's used (like SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS), and how it's applied in areas like education, business, healthcare, and government. It also looks at problems such as security, privacy, following rules, and being stuck with one provider, and suggests where future research could go. By putting together different views, this paper helps understand what cloud computing is right now and how it might shape the future digital world.},
