Cloud computing in the Internet of Things (IoT) refers to IoT devices linking to powerful remote servers through the internet. These servers are responsible for storing and processing large quantities of data produced by IoT devices. This setup allows IoT devices to be more compact and affordable, as they do not require significant processing power on-site. The cloud offers the necessary infrastructure for analyzing, managing, and responding to IoT data. In essence, this is how IoT devices acquire their “intelligence” from a distance.
