What are the Advantages of cloud computing?

Advantage #1—Trade capital expense for variable expense:

Capital expenses (capex) are funds that a company uses to acquire, upgrade, and maintain physical assets such as property, industrial buildings, or equipment.

Data center example is the traditional computing model where you needed to rack and stack the hardware, and then manage it all. You must pay for everything in the data center whether you use it or not.

Variable expense is an expense that the person who bears the cost can easily alter or avoid.

Instead of investing heavily in data centres and servers before determining how they will be used, you can pay only when resources are consumed and only for the amount consumed, as a result you can save money on technology.

It also allows you to quickly adapt to new applications by providing as much space as you require in minutes rather than weeks or days. Maintenance is reduced and that will allow you to spend more time to your company's main goals.

Advantage #2—Benefit from massive economies of scale:

You can achieve a lower variable cost by using cloud computing than you could on your own.

Because the cloud integrates usage from hundreds of thousands of customers, providers such as AWS can achieve greater economies of scale, resulting in lower pay-as-you-go prices.

Advantage #3—Stop guessing capacity:

No, need make any kind of system capacity calculations for your business model.

When you decide on capacity before deploying an application, you frequently either have expensive idle resources or deal with limited capacity. These issues are eliminated by cloud computing.

You can access as much or as little as you need, and scale up and down as needed in a matter of minutes.

Advantage #4— improve your speed and flexibility:

In a cloud computing environment, new IT resources are only a click away.

You can reduced the time it takes to provide those resources to your developers from weeks to minutes.

The result is a dramatic increase in flexibility for the organization because the cost and time that it takes to experiment and develop are significantly lower.

Advantage #5—Stop spending money on running and maintaining data centers:

Instead of focusing on infrastructure, you can spare time on project work so your business can grow.

Cloud computing allows you to concentrate on your customers rather than the heavy lifting of racking, stacking, and powering servers.

 Advantage #6—Go global in minutes:

 

You can deploy your application in multiple AWS Regions around the world with just a few clicks.

As a result, you can provide a lower latency and better experience for your customers simply and at minimal cost.
