SCALING: THE BACKBONE OF EFFICIENT CLOUD PLATFORMS
Keywords:
Elastic Scaling, Cloud Computing, Resource Optimization, Auto-scaling Techniques, Performance ManagementAbstract
This comprehensive article explores the concept of elastic scaling in cloud computing, detailing its significance, key components, applications, benefits, and challenges. It examines how elastic scaling enables dynamic resource allocation in response to fluctuating demands, optimizing performance and cost-efficiency. The article discusses various auto-scaling techniques, scaling policies, and the importance of monitoring and observability in implementing effective elastic scaling strategies. It highlights the wide-ranging applications of elastic scaling across different industries and use cases, from web applications and e-commerce platforms to IoT systems and big data processing. The benefits of elastic scaling, including cost efficiency, enhanced performance, high availability, and improved user experience, are thoroughly explored. Finally, the article addresses the challenges and considerations organizations face when implementing elastic scaling, such as configuration complexity, application architecture requirements, data consistency issues, and cost management
