The cloud is a general term used to describe resources such as computing and storage that are provided as services managed by the cloud provider. Nowadays cloud providers offer a wide variety of services: Databases, Orchestration tools, Messaging queues, etc.
Managing a physical data center and its resources takes time and effort, and its resulting resources fall short of the offerings of the various Cloud providers.
There are cases where managing physical infrastructure is unavoidable, for example, due to security concerns or even budget limitations on infrastructure.
