Sometimes we can understand the concept of Cloud but are vague in why we need to use Cloud and its benefits.
In today’s post we will also learn about the benefits of using the cloud as well as the different Computing models.
Advantages of Cloud
- Trade capital expense for variable expense. Change fixed costs to variable costs.
- Benefit from massive economies of scale. Benefit from economies of scale.
- Stop guessing about capacity. No need to estimate capacity.
- Increase speed and agility. Improved speed and agility.
- Stop spending money running and maintaining data centers. No data center maintenance costs.
- Go global in minutes. Deploy global for a short time.
1. Trade capital expense for variable expense. Change fixed costs to variable costs.
Save costs by only paying for the cloud resources you use instead of spending large amounts of money on investment, operation, and maintenance of the data center or server.
2. Benefit from massive economies of scale. Benefit from economies of scale.
The more people use the cloud, the lower the cost. The reason is that with millions of users, providers like AWS can achieve higher economies of scale, resulting in lower user costs.
3. Stop guessing about capacity. No need to estimate capacity.
When using Cloud, it is possible to increase or decrease the capacity arbitrarily according to the needs of use, so there is no need to estimate the capacity as well as the initial investment cost.
4. Increase speed and agility. Improved speed and agility.
With Cloud, creating a new resource is just a few clicks away.
5. Stop spending money running and maintaining data centers. No data center maintenance costs.
Because you don’t have to invest in infrastructure, you can completely focus on the project’s business. Saving operating costs as well as infrastructure maintenance.
6. Go global in minutes. Deploy global for a short time.
With just a few clicks, the application can be deployed in many regions of the world.
Cloud computing service models.
- Infrastructure as a service (IaaS). Infrastructure as a service.
- Platform as a service (PaaS). Platform as a service.
- Software as a service (SaaS). Software as a service.
1. Infrastructure as a service (IaaS). Infrastructure as a service.
Iaas is a pay-per-use service, which means you only pay for what you use. You will be allowed access to remote infrastructure, used to scale the system. Iaas includes virtual servers, storage…
2. Platform as a service (PaaS). Platform as a service.
Platform as a Service (PaaS) is a cloud computing model in which a third-party provider provides hardware and software tools to users over the internet (including those necessary for application development). use).
A PaaS provider will host the hardware and software on its own infrastructure. Thus, PaaS frees developers from having to install in-house hardware and software to develop or run a new application.
3. Software as a service (SaaS). Software as a service.
Saas offers a complete product that is fully initiated and managed by the vendor. For example, Microsoft 365.
