Cloud Computing is:

• Scalable – change computing resources based on demand, or in preparation of demand, or for changes of workload. You can scale vertically (Up) e.g., adding a faster CPU or changing memory; or horizontally (Out) by adding more servers
• Elastic – automatically adding computing resources in response to demand and removing when unnecessary
• Cost Effectiveness – economies of scale and only paying for what is used
• Current – IT maintenance performed by the cloud vendor
• Reliable – backups and disaster recovery
• Secure – both physical and digital
