I'll include an overview in my talk :) A really quick answer (and I welcome clarification/improvements) is that cloud computing is using only the (virtualised) processing resources you need at any given time. So for example with Amazon EC2 you can use a single server in your slack periods and multiple servers in your busy periods. The extra servers come from the 'could'.
