Here I am collecting some information that is needed in order to understand what to look for in the cloud and where.
Cloud computing is the on-demand availability of resources.
| PROS | CONS |
|---|---|
| flexibility, agility and choices | Security? |
| scale, efficiency and cost | might be hard to change providers (lock) |
| simplicity, encapsulated change management | lack of control (patches, for example) |
| Up-to-date technologies | Reliability |
Public (tenant) - most common. Share resources with other companies.
Private - don’t share resources. More security and control.
Hybrid - the part of the business that needs to grow uses the public option.
