40
Q

Consumption-based model benfits

A
  • No upfront costs.

41
Q

Reliability

A

Continuous user experience with no apparent downtime even when things go wrong.

42
Q

Elasticity

A

Cloud based applications can be configured to always have the resources they need. Can take advantage of autoscaling, so your apps always have the resources they need.

43
Q

Agility

A

Cloud based resources can be deployed and configured quickly as your application requirements change.

44
Q

Scalability

A

Vertically - computing can be increased by adding RAM and CPUs to a virtual machine.

Horizontally - computing capacity can be increased by adding instances of a resource such as adding more VMs to your configuration.
