Some key takeaways from the document are cloud computing provides on-demand access to shared computing resources like networks, servers, storage, applications and services; it allows users to start small and scale up resources quickly; and it offers advantages like flexibility, scalability and cost savings.

The different service models in cloud computing are Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Software as a Service (SaaS). IaaS provides basic storage, networking and computing resources, PaaS provides platforms to build applications on and SaaS provides complete applications to end users.

The different deployment models in cloud computing are public cloud, private cloud and hybrid cloud. Public cloud infrastructure is provisioned for open use by the general public. Private cloud infrastructure is provisioned for exclusive use by a single organization. Hybrid cloud uses a combination of public and private clouds.
