Cloud technologies. Advantages and disadvantages.
From the point of view of the customer, thank to combining resources and intermittent nature of consumption by consumers, cloud computing allow to economies on scale, using less hardware resources than would be required if the allocated hardware capacity for each consumer and due to the automation of procedures for modifying the resource allocation significantly reduces the cost of subscription services. From the point of view of the consumer, these characteristics allow to obtain services with high availability and low risk of failure, to ensure rapid scaling of the computing system without the need to create, maintain, and upgrade their own hardware infrastructure.
