According to Gartner, while the hype grew exponentially during 2008 and continued since then, it is clear that there is a ma‐ jor shift toward the cloud computing model and the benefits may be substantial. With the advent of Internet of Things and big data, humongous amount of data is available today. This extraordinarily large volume of data needs to be analyzed for achieving valuable in‐ sights of business. Cloud computing is best suited for handling such volume of data, which is diverse in nature and needs real-time processing. In addition, the cloud services can be hired based on computing requirement without incurring any large fixed overhead cost of IT infrastructure. However, as the shape of the cloud computing is emerging and develop‐ ing rapidly both conceptually and in real-world applications, the legal/contractual, econom‐ ic, service quality, interoperability, security, and privacy issues still pose significant challenges.
