Trade Capital Expense For Variable Expense
"Instead of having to invest heavily in data centers and servers before you know how you’re going to use them, you can pay only when you consume computing resources, and pay only for how much you consume.
Benefit from massive economies of scale-
You will never have the same purchasing power as Amazon. They literally build their own servers
Stop guessing about capacity
You will probably either buy too much or too little. If you buy too much, you’ve wasted money and if you buy too little you have downtime.
Increase speed and agility
"AWS cloud architecture scales infinitely with demand
Stop spending money running and maintaining Data Centers
focus on projects that differentiate your business, not the infrastructure. Cloud computing lets you focus on your own customers, rather than on the heavy lifting of racking, stacking, and powering servers.
Go global in minutes
Easily deploy your application in multiple regions around the world with just a few clicks. This means you can provide lower latency and a better experience for your customers at minimal cost.
