The rapid development in Information and Communication Technology has had a significant impact on traditional educational systems and learning. Today, E-Learning has become a widely accepted way of learning. With increasing numbers of users, a wide range of learning services and the growth of educational content, E-Learning has emerged as the mode for future learning. However, the volatile user load and massive storage and transfer of rich multimedia content have lead to a need for effective utilization of server side system resources in providing E-Learning services. Cloud computing offers a dynamic provision of virtualized resources, elasticity, scalability, pays as you use and measured service with the ability to dynamically provision and de-provision computing resources as needed. Cloud computing is ideally suited for E-learning systems.
