A key feature and advantage of cloud computing is its flexible scalability. For example, if a
web application receives an unusual amount of traffic, additional servers can be created to
provide that service. Therefore, the application can scale properly and automatically on
demand.
Scalability also enables profitable workloads that require a large number of servers but only
for a short or occasional period. Many clients have such workloads and can be very
profitable, especially if capacity is available. Digital Transformation is also taking place
here.
Measurement service
Cloud services generally charge users based on the use of resources per hour or based on the
number of certain types of transactions that occur, the amount of storage in use, and the
amount of data transferred over the network.
Cloud service providers will also be able to optimally allocate physical computing resources
to all customers to maximize their SLA commitments and minimize the cost of service
delivery. Use measures to make decisions (thus maximizing margins and competitiveness).
Service level agreement
Many cloud services offer service level agreements that guarantee a certain level of
availability, performance, or capacity. Lower priced service tiers generally do not have
warranties, but higher tiers are designed to provide specific warranties. Large companies can
usually negotiate guarantees of personalized service.
Multi rent
A distinctive feature of public cloud services is multiple tenures. The infrastructure serves
multiple clients, and in SaaS, the same virtual machine can serve multiple clients.
Compliance requirements may require services to run on a dedicated, non-shared
infrastructure. Such location eliminates certain security risks, such as virtual machine escapes
and the spread of attacks to other clients running the same infrastructure. Many cloud
services provide dedicated servers to counter this.
