- 3. Advantages and disadvantages of cloud computing
❄ No need for upfront capital.
❄ No need to manage
hardware or software
upgrades.
❄ Add/Remove extra
services as the business
needs change.
❄ LOW Cost.
❄ One-off, upfront capital costs
become ongoing operating
costs. That might be more
expensive in the long-term
depending on the business.
❄ Vendor lock-in
Think of cloud computing as renting a fully serviced flat instead of buying a
home of your own. Clearly there are advantages in terms of convenience, but
there are huge restrictions on how you can live and what you can alter. Will it
automatically work out better and cheaper for you in the long term? Source
- 4. AWS Economical Effect On The Market
❄ 2014 – Committed to
achieve 100% renewable

global footprint.
❄ 2015 – AWS breaks out

❄ 2016 – Run rate of $13

❄ 2016 – Cisco, Dell EMC,
IBM, HP Enterprise,
Oracle and VMware

$15 Billion reduction from
2012 (3% shrinkage year

A Region is a geographical area. Each region consists of 2 (or more)
Availability zones.
An Availability zone is a Data Center.

Availability Zones within 16
