The benefits of AWS cloud computing

AWS Cloud provides various services in regard to compute, storage, networking, applications, and many more supportive services. These sets of services offer numerous benefits. At a high level, these benefits are highlighted in the following list. These benefits are very attractive to most organizations from a cost and scalability perspective:

• No capital expenditure: There is no need to invest heavily in setting up your own data centers. All of your organization's upfront capital investment is not needed anymore. You simply spin up the servers and make use of the various AWS services on a pay-as-you-go model. You have only your operational cost when you work with AWS. You stop incurring cost when you stop using AWS resources.
• No maintenance of data centers: AWS Cloud has sophisticated data centers connected to multiple grids, which are well designed for failure and security. Your organization immediately starts saving money by moving to the cloud, as they do not need to maintain their own data centers.
• Lower variable cost: By using AWS Cloud, you can get huge benefits from massive economies of scale. As more organizations start using the cloud, the cost of services goes down. You can also commit on the usage of the service for a certain number of years, which helps you to save around 40% to 60% rather than using on-demand resources.
• No capacity planning needed: In the traditional IT world, when you operate in your own data center, there is always a need to have some capacity planned for the next 1 to 3 years in order to allow your application to handle spiky loads. This requires a lot more planning and time investment to get that in shape. With AWS, you can simply scale and Scale-Down in a few minutes. There is no need as such to guess the capacity anymore. You get it when you need it.
• Increase agility: This is something very exciting that is achieved using AWS Cloud. You get a server in a minute and can start working on your application development, or make use of the blue/green model without heavily investing in the infrastructure. Agility is the key factor to choose from cloud services.
