Cloud Computing 101 Part 2
Let's say you have a website which you put in a computer or server. This is called hosting. When the number of visitors to your website increases, the traffic becomes heavy and your server potentially crashes. This creates unhappy visitors.
Traditionally, when that happens, you can buy or rent more servers to cope with the extra traffic. That's a lot of $$$.
Now, with cloud computing, you can almost instantaneously scale up or down depending on the demand. When the number of visitors to your website increases, you can get extra bandwidth and storage on demand. This enables you to cope with the increase, no matter what the volume is. When the demand decreases, you can scale down the resources again.
Everyone is happy.
