Literature Review
Now a day, cloud computing is main key of innovation
in the computing industry. It is based on network so it
basically on the internet. Is to ensure to provide to user a

Cloud computing is high level of scalable with establish
virtualized resources that able to available to the users.
Therefor, cloud computing is a great technology that
