I introduce the cloud computing fundamentals, architecture of layers, and scientific services on the cloud firstly. Then, I introduce several typical commercial cloud computing platforms, such as Amazon Cloud Computing, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform. Lastly, I discuss the scientific cloud computing based on these three commercial cloud computing platforms.
