Grid Computing is a form of distributed system with non-interactive workloads. Utility Computing is a business model where computing resources are metered. Cloud Computing is a form of utility computing that allows developers to develop, deploy and run applications.
Cloud computing, or in simpler shorthand just the cloud, also focuses on maximizing the effectiveness of the shared resources. Cloud resources are usually not only shared by multiple users but are also dynamically reallocated per demand. This can work for allocating resources to users.t relies on sharing of resources to achieve coherence and economies of scale, similar to a utility (like the electricity grid) over a network. At the foundation of cloud computing is the broader concept of converged infrastructure and shared services.
