Coronavirus (Covid-19) has shattered the global world led to the lockdown where the technologies have become our life saviour. The aggregate count of positive cases is increasing worldwide, and thus, social distancing is an effective strategy to control the spread of the virus. As a result, education sectors remain closed until returning to their normal state. All educational sectors have adopted the online learning mode. Cloud computing is an emerging technology being considered effectively in this pandemic. The research study aims to determine the role of cloud computing technologies in education sectors by an empirical assessment. Initially, the current crisis of Covid -19 explains the importance of the pandemic period. The fundamental concepts of cloud computing and e-learning systems are explained. The quantitative and technical elements of the latest papers are collected and reviewed from their merits and demerits. The quantitative elements portray the usage of cloud platforms, whereas the technical elements portray the usage of cloud technologies. It is assessed from both teachers' and students' perspectives. It is observed that some challenges like optimal ease of use, network service support, enhancing resource sharing and technological resources are to be still focused. Overall, this paper will give an insight into the scope of cloud computing technologies and their integration to innovate e-learning systems. It will motivate the other researchers to explore new principles and designs in this research field.
