Short Description
A Cloud Service Provider (CSP) is a company that delivers computing resources β such as servers, storage, networking, databases, and software β over the internet on a pay-as-you-go basis. CSPs enable businesses and developers to deploy applications, train AI models, store data, and run workloads without managing physical infrastructure.
The term is most commonly associated with hyperscalers like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud, but it also includes smaller or specialized providers, including those focused on AI/HPC, gaming, or edge computing.
