What the Cloud Looks Like¶
[...] a model for enabling ubiquitous, on-demand access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources.
Advantages over Bare Hardware¶
- Ephemeral: Creating and Destroying operating systems is quick and painless.
- Cost effective: Pay for what you use.
- Low startup cost: Initial investment is cheap, <$100 as opposed to >$1,000+. (unless you are running a private cloud, more on that in a second).
