I. INTRODUCTION

Cloud computing has undoubtedly emerged as a revolutionary paradigm in the field of Information Technology, fundamentally altering how businesses and individuals access and harness computational resources. This concept revolves around delivering on-demand, scalable, and virtualized services over the Internet, empowering users to tap into a diverse array of resources and applications without the need for substantial hardware investments and maintenance. This research paper aims to provide a comprehensive review of the advancements and challenges in cloud computing, highlighting its impact on various industries, and shedding light on the cutting-edge technologies that are shaping its future. In the early days of computing, organizations heavily relied on maintaining their in-house data centers, which often resulted in resource underutilization and costly infrastructure expenditures. Cloud computing addresses these issues by enabling the sharing of resources among multiple users, leading to better resource allocation and cost optimization. Moreover, it offers a range of service models, including Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service
