Abstract
In the current competitive environment, businesses are looking at how to lower their IT expenses while simultaneously improving their productivity and flexibility to respond quickly to changes in their operational procedures. One of the most widely accepted information technology-based services is cloud computing, which has garnered interest from both the academic and business communities as well as the general public-characteristics such as pay-per-use and subscription options ease of use, elasticity, and low entry costs. Low entry cost in fog, cloud, and edge computing is achieved by utilizing pay-as-you-go pricing models, leveraging open-source technologies, and optimizing resource allocation. By emphasizing how this technology differs from the rest of the current technology and concentrating on its numerous benefits and areas of application-which provide proof of its growing popularity-this paper presents the development of modern computer paradigms and associated areas of research interest. A discussion of each paradigm is done by clearly defining its main ideas and how they relate to the others. The paper presents a comparative assessment of Cloud, Edge, and Fog computing indicating their diverse areas of applicability.
