AWS Cloud Benefits
AWS Tutorial: Benefits of the AWS Cloud
Welcome to the next lesson in our AWS Tutorial. In this section, we will explore the core benefits of using the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud.
Why Learn About AWS Benefits?
Understanding the primary benefits of AWS is crucial because it forms the foundation of why millions of organizations migrate to the cloud. Learning these advantages helps you architect better solutions and make informed decisions on infrastructure management.
Tutorial Overview
In this tutorial, you will learn the six main advantages of cloud computing with AWS:
- Trade Capital Expense for Variable Expense
- Benefit from Massive Economies of Scale
- Stop Guessing Capacity
- Increase Speed and Agility
- Stop Spending Money Running and Maintaining Data Centers
- Go Global in Minutes
The Six Advantages of Cloud Computing
- Trade Capital Expense for Variable Expense: Instead of investing heavily in data centers and servers before you know how you're going to use them, you can pay only when you consume computing resources.
- Benefit from Massive Economies of Scale: 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 is aggregated in the cloud, providers such as AWS can achieve higher economies of scale.
- Stop Guessing Capacity: Eliminate guessing on your infrastructure capacity needs. When you make a capacity decision prior to deploying an application, you often end up sitting on expensive idle resources or dealing with limited capacity.
- Increase Speed and Agility: In a cloud computing environment, new IT resources are only a click away, which means that you reduce the time to make those resources available to your developers from weeks to just minutes.
- Stop Spending Money Running and Maintaining Data Centers: Focus on projects that differentiate your business, not the infrastructure. Cloud computing lets you focus on your own customers.
- Go Global in Minutes: Easily deploy your application in multiple regions around the world with just a few clicks.
