EXPLORING THE POWER OF CLOUD COMPUTING TO BOOST IOT APPLICATION CAPABILITIES

Abstract

Cloud computing is a methodological approach that facilitates the interconnection of diverse networks for the purpose of exchanging large volumes of data.With the help of cloud computing, regular people can store their important data online. Both free and paid cloud services are currently accessible for use. Cloud computing has emerged as a prominent and widely adopted technology in contemporary times. Internet of Things (IoT) technology is another recent development. The IoT technology pertains to the transmission of data and information among intelligent objects or devices. The Internet of Things (IoT) is increasingly being incorporated into various aspects of society and has gained notable importance in sectors including healthcare, agriculture, smart homes, smart cities, and other domains. The integration of Cloud Computing into the IoT has resulted in the cloud playing a crucial role in connecting applications and smart objects. Specifically, it serves as a storage platform for the data and records that are generated as a result of the interactions among these objects. Both technologies are currently popular and exhibit certain similarities, as they mutually enhance each other's capabilities. The convergence of cloud computing and the IoT has the potential to yield significant benefits to society. The proliferation of automation on a large scale will give rise to a scenario in which a substantial amount of data will be generated through device communication, particularly in the industrial sector. There have been a multitude of cloud computing applications that have been developed to offer services to IoT applications. This paper presents a comprehensive review of applications of IoT focusing on the integration of cloud computing and the IoT.
