Cloud computing resources, training and certification

Today I did a search on Google Trends for the keyword Cloud Computing and the search volume looks to be heading upwards since year 2007.

From the above graph, it tells us that the term cloud computing emerged sometime late 2007 and from then on more and more people knew about it and began searching for more information about cloud computing.

Cloud computing, the way I understand it is a method which allows computing resources to be shared and utilized over the Internet.

At the moment, whenever the term cloud computing is mentioned, some would think about it being Software as a Service (SaaS) web applications while someone else might think of grid computing.
