Answer to Question 1

FALSE

Answer to Question 2

 Wikipedia defines cloud computing as a style of computing in which dynamically scalable and often virtualized resources are provided over the Internet. Users need not have knowledge of, experience in, or control over the technology infrastructures in the cloud that supports them.
 Amazon.com has developed an impressive technology infrastructure for e- commerce as well as for business intelligence, customer relationship management, and supply chain management. It has built major data centers to manage its own operations. However, through Amazon.com's cloud services, many other companies can employ these very same facilities to gain advantages of these technologies without having to make a similar investment. Like other cloud-computing services, a user can subscribe to any of the facilities on a pay-as-you-go basis. This model of letting someone else own the hardware and software but making use of the facilities on a pay-per-use basis is the cornerstone of cloud computing.
