The idea of cloud computing began to appear in the sixties of the twentieth century, in Douglas Barkhel’s book, which was published in 1966, “The Computing Facility Challenge”,

Then, it began to expand and spread with the emergence of sites that allow you to create a free e-mail account and allowed storage capacity to save your files in the cloud. After that, Microsoft announced its interest in cloud computing since the release of the Vista operating system (Vista), where information was received that Microsoft is about to Create an upcoming operating system that uses cloud computing from the Cloud package to host customer applications on Microsoft’s servers, and stated at the time that the program will not be installed on the device, but will work on it through the Internet, and that this will include the entire Office package and will be financed through alternatives such as ads and subscription to Windows7, Officeliv, SharePoint .

After that, competition began between companies and cloud computing appeared in Google and most of the big companies.

Its idea is based on the Cloud, which is a huge Huge Network interconnected with servers or individual computers that work together in a parallel form that combines computing resources, which leads to the generation of superior computing power, and computing in its work depends on simulation technology. Virtulization that helps to make the most of these resources and increase their flexibility or reduce them according to the volume of work and calculate their cost for the volume of use,

It is owned by a third party, the Cloud Service Provider, who bears the cost of servers, hardware and software with its maintenance and consumption requirements, which provides the client with a lower cost depending on the wording of its contract.

The importance of cloud computing can be illustrated by thinking of its ability to turn the Internet into a large repository in which computing resources are available to everyone in the form of different services.
