C}urrent Cloud Computing Review and Cost Optimization by {DERSP

M. Gomathy

Cloud computing promises to deliver cost saving through the “pay as you use” paradigm. The focus is on adding computing resources when needed and releasing them when the need is serviced. Since cloud computing relies on providing computing power through multiple interconnected computers, there is a paradigm shift from one large machine to a combination of multiple smaller machine instances. In this paper, we review the current cloud computing scenario and provide a set of recommendations that can be used for designing custom applications suited for cloud deployment. We also present a comparative study on the change in cost incurred while using different combinations of machine instances for running an application on cloud; and derive the case for optimal cost.
