ABSTRACT

The cloud is a huge, interconnected network of powerful servers that performs services for businesses and
people. The Internet of Things (IoT) is a system of interrelated computing devices, mechanical and digital
machines, objects, animals or people that are provided with unique identifiers and the ability to transfer data
over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction. IoT has evolved with
the greater generation of data. Internet of Things Cloud Service creates excessive communication between
inexpensive sensors in the IoT which means even greater connectivity. Billions of connected devices and
machines will soon join human-users. IoT generates lots of data while on the other hand, cloud computing
paves way for this data to travel. In this paper we try to focus on cloud providers who take advantage of this to
provide a pay-as-you-use model where customers pay for the specific resources used. Also, cloud hosting as a
service adds value to IoT startups by providing economies of scale to reduce their overall cost structure.
Keywords : Cloud computing, IoT, Future computing.
