Could anyone please tell me what the web developers can do with cloud computing, sorry for the very basic question i got confused so much by googling. Please tell me how to use or where to use this technology in PHP web development field. I used AMAZON'S ec2 but there i just followed their manual and it was very simple file storage. But in what way it could help me to make great projects?
 
Cloud computing is the use of various services, such as software development platforms, servers, storage, and software, over the internet, often referred to as the "cloud." It is common to categorize cloud computing services as Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS) or Software as a Service (SaaS).
 
Web applications developed using cloud computing (e.g. google app engine) offer inherent scalability. Also, application developers need not have to worry about the hardware setup, hosting and maintenance. Being in cloud the web applications also ensure high availability.
