A **cloud database** is a database service built to run in a **cloud environment**. This means the database is hosted, stored, and accessed through a **cloud computing platform**, providing benefits like **scalability** and high availability. Unlike traditional on-site databases, cloud databases eliminate the need for users to manage physical hardware and software, as the **cloud provider** handles these aspects. They are designed for flexibility, allowing businesses to easily adjust their storage and processing power as their needs evolve.
