In recent years cloud has reached its consolidation, taking great steps and leaning towards the wide range of technologies that allow speeding up digital models.

The term "cloud" is generally associated with a metaphor based on the drawing of clouds that was previously used to represent the telephone network, and later to represent the Internet.

In less than a decade, the cloud has become an ally to increase, improve and innovate IT management, directly impacting the economy of companies that have decided to try some of its services.

"Cloud computing" is seen as the most viable option to "consume" computing services.

Cloud has continuously evolved, hence the need to give a summary of this evolution.

In some writings they say that it began in the 50's - 60's.

John McCarthy is the name given to the concept of the cloud and the concept of artificial intelligence. But it was during the following 3 decades that companies worldwide began to notice the need to acquire large volumes of information and the need to reach it from any place of access, thus giving rise to the creation of the World Wide Web at the end of the 80's. In the 90's there was a very notable advance, in which the concept of virtualization was consolidated and before the end of that decade , there was a big announcement where the 1st wave of the cloud called: Salesforce began.

Salesforce was a new concept, in which it was intended to offer business applications through a simple website.

In the 2000's, AWS and Google appeared with cloud services, encouraging companies to be interested in cloud services and looking towards innovation.
