6 Advantages of Cloud Computing

- Remember all 6 and know what they mean thoroughly.

  1. Trade capital expense for variable expense – Instead of having to invest heavily in data centres and servers before you know how you’re going to use them, you can pay only when you consume computing resources, and pay only for how much you consume.

  2. Benefit from massive economies of scale – You can achieve a lower variable cost than you can get on your own. Because usage from hundreds of thousands of customers is aggregated in the cloud, providers such as AWS can achieve higher economies of scale, which translates into lower pay as-you-go prices.

  3. Stop guessing capacity – Eliminate guessing on your infrastructure capacity needs.

  4. Increase speed and agility – Reduce the time to make those resources available to your developers from weeks to just minutes.

  5. Stop spending money running and maintaining data centres – Focus on your own customers, rather than on the heavy lifting of racking, stacking, and powering servers.

  6. Go global in minutes – Provide lower latency and a better experience for your customers at minimal cost.
