Hello,
Excuse me, I have a question and I'm sorry if it vague or odd. I'm thankful if anyone reply me clearly.
How a company make a cloud platform and provide service to others? Is Cloud a lot of servers in the world that clustered together? For example, a main server that running a hypervisor like Hyper-V with some VMs and this server clustered with a lot of servers to provide HA service.
Thank you.

At a very high level, you are correct to think of a cloud provider as just another datacentre with Hyper-V hosts bundled together to provide virtual machines resources to other companies.
There are, of course, a lot of other considerations that comes into play once you start looking at the details, such as segregation (how to ensure that a VM belonging to company A cannot communicate with the VM belonging to Company B, while running the same host), security (make sure that no unauthorised access can get through), storage, etc.
The above is referred to as "Infrastructure as a service" or IaaS in the cloud industry, and is effectively delivering the platform to other companies to run their virtual machines, so that those companies do not need to worry about hardware maintenance, datacentre management, hypervisor updates, etc.
In addition, two other cloud categories are available today:
There are a lot more details that can be given, which would be too long to write within this forum. For more details, I would suggest to take a look at the Azure Fundamentals site:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-au/learn/paths/azure-fundamentals/
This will give you a great overview (in a modular, led learning way) of the basic of cloud computing, as well as the basics of Azure IaaS principles (VM, Storage, Networking), Security, and more...
Cheers,
Stephane
