Actividad segunda lengua Research on the Application and Development Trend of Cloud Computing Based on E-Commerce Resumen This paper introduces the related theories of cloud computing and e-commerce, the application and application of cloud computing-based e-commerce. Cloud computing is a delivery model where storage, servers, applications, and other items are delivered over the Internet. They are delivered on demand as a service, generally as payment for consumption. Analysis The cloud is not a physical place, but an IT resource management method that primarily replaces local machines and private data centers. In the cloud computing model, users access virtual computing, network, and storage resources that are available online through a remote provider. Rather than having to purchase and maintain extensive computing, storage, and other IT infrastructure, as well as having in-house expertise available to manage these teams, much of this responsibility instead falls to the cloud service provider. Advantages of e-commerce in the cloud  Improve speed: An ERP in the cloud offers you the opportunity to quickly execute operations in virtual stores, without the need for additional technological resources.  Make the system more flexible and adapt: Have easy and secure access to a large volume of data (for your virtual store) from anywhere, so that your staff can focus on important business decisions.  Ensure security: If you host your e-commerce in the cloud with a storage provider like Microsoft Azure, you are guaranteed security updates. Microsoft has a Cyber Defense Operations Center that is run by cyber security experts, who work 24 hours a day to analyze, protect and improve the security of the platform.  Facilitate business growth and stability: Lean on a scalable platform that accompanies the growth of your company, without compromising your current processes. The concept of the cloud is very simple and at the same time revolutionary. Why store company data on our servers or download programs when we can have them online and not worry about storage capacity or security problems, and access that information at any time and from anywhere? That's what cloud computing is all about. Victor Pimentel, computer engineer, web developer and Blogger defines the cloud as web 2.0 SP1, because for him it is simply the Internet and the possibilities it allows. "It involves the transition from the traditional model of applications to the new model on the Internet based on services (not applications)" he pointed out in one of his posts for Anexom.es. Telefónica also defines the cloud as a synonym for the Internet. “When it is said that an application resides in the cloud, what is being said is that it is hosted on a server connected to the Internet but that, as we do not know exactly where that server is, we refer to it in an abstract way as being in Cloud'." Three services are based on the concept of cloud computing: SaaS, PaaS and IaaS. The SaaS - acronym for Software as a Service - is software as a service, applications that, instead of being downloaded to a specific PC and installed on it (with the associated license cost), are paid for according to what they are used for. "They are accessed via the Internet, with a browser, or with a client application that is installed locally on the PC, and the application logic, as well as the data, is on the Internet", they comment from Telefónica. PaaS or Platform as a Service, are services that offer APIs, applications and platforms for the development of electronic commerce environments. They are intended for transactional environments in which data on them can be permanently extracted and imported. Finally, IaaS or Infrastructure as a Service -Infrastructure as a Service in English- implies great scalability according to needs, to adapt to periods of greater or lesser demand, and is a more complex solution than SaaS. Be in the cloud From Telefónica they point out as one of the main advantages of cloud computing services the speed of implementation, since the client can access most of the services in minutes through a web portal. As an example they point to the Virtual Data Center service, which allows the client to build a complete data center (servers, network infrastructure, firewalls, load balancers, storage, operating systems, configuration and backup policies) with a portal of Self-provisioning simply by using the mouse in minutes. "In a traditional model, the client would have to provide physical space for the machines, correctly set and secured, buy the equipment, install it, wire it and configure it, which could take months", they affirm from the multinational telecommunications company. The corporate director of R&D and Strategy of Products and Services of Sage Spain, David Millet, comments that this speed in implementation also accelerates the return on investment, and that is why “the environment of the SME will be the most receptive to this new model, which will also be able to be implemented in a staggered way, in packages that jointly offer the web and the cloud”. E-commerce can also be done through cloud solutions and benefit from the advantages that these services provide. Álvaro Montero, commercial director of Ran Networks, comments that cloud computing constitutes for SMEs a low-cost alternative for investing in information technologies, while solving problems associated with the availability of the service from anywhere or adaptation to seasonal market variations (sales, Christmas, etc.). Another advantage is that you can start using the service and pay for what you need initially, growing or decreasing over time depending on what you use and only paying for the resources used. That is why it favors a cost reduction
