7Uses and applications

Cloud computing can support nearly any application. But some workloads are a better fit for cloud from a organization or technical perspective. The two killer use cases for cloud computing are:

Managing big data. Cloud computing is a natural fit for big data analytics, since elastic computing capacity and on-demand provisioning make analytics accessible to more teams within an organization. Moreover, cloud is also a useful solution when lots of computations are required for solving complex problems, or when collaboration among developers is needed. Cloud computing allows much more efficient computation by centralizing storage memory processing and bandwidth

Test and developments in the cloud. Development teams will benefit from the agility of creating virtual machines in minutes. Cloud computing avoids that organizations need to set up an environment through physical assets, significant manpower and time. Moreover, an organization can quickly get applications into production and to scale them as required
