Q

Why is cloud computing typically cheaper to use

A

pay-as-you-go pricing model
pay only for the cloud services you use
lower your operating costs
run your infrastructure more efficiently
scale as your business needs change
instead of maintaining CPUs and storage in your datacenter, you rent them for the time that you need them
the cloud provider takes care of maintaining the underlying infrastructure for you
