Intro to cloud computing in geoscience
|
cloud is cost-effective via utility (pay as you go) model (three penny opera)
cloud is secure via encryption and identity/access management tools
{“cloud has a cost of entry”=>”You have to learn the ropes”}
cloud cost is dropping (e.g. consider Spot Market) so this may be a matter of not if but when
cloud uses the term ‘scale’ and that translates to ‘I am (generally) not compute limited anymore.’
{“cloud is also growing Services”=>”Advanced concept, the metaphor is ‘dinner without plates or table’.”}
