Benefits of cloud computing.

  1. Trade upfront expense for variable expenses
    1. Upfront expenses refer to data centers, physical servers, and other resources that you would need to invest in before using them.
    2. Variable expense mean you only pay for computing resources that you consume
  2. Stop spending money to run and maintain data centers.
  3. Stop Guessing capacity
    1. With cloud computing, you don’t have to predict how much infrastructure capacity you will need before deploying an application.
  4. Benefit from massive economics of scale

    1. By using cloud computing, you can achieve a lower variable cost than you can get on your own.

      Because usage from hundreds of thousands of customers can aggregate in the cloud, providers, such as AWS, can achieve higher economies of scale. The economy of scale translates into lower pay-as-you-go prices.

  5. Increase speed and agility

  6. Go global in minutes

    1. The global footprint of the AWS Cloud enables you to deploy applications to costumers around the world quickly, while providing them with low latency. This means that even if you are located in a different part of the world than your customers, customers are able to access your applications with minimal delays.
