    __Cost__
    - Three drivers of cost are: compute, storage and outbound data transfer.
    - Compute resources generally are per hour unless you are using a reserved instance.
    - Data storage and transfer you typically pay per GB.
    - The more data you transfer out, the less you pay per GB.

    - 4 pricing models
    - On Demand
    - Dedicated Instances
    - Spot Instances
    - Reservations

    **NOTES:**

    6 advantages of cloud computing
    - trade capital expense (data centers and servers) for varaible expense ( consumption of computing resources )
    - Benefit from massive economies of scale ( cant compete with aws purchasing power )
    - Stop guessing about capacity
    - Increase speed and agility ( ability to easily get Minimum Viable Product up fast and easily )
    - Stop spending money running and maintaining data center ( let someone else manage that for you. eg aws )
    - Go global in minutes ( deploy in multiple regions around the world )

    3 types of cloud computing
    - Infrastructire As A Service ( IAAS )
    - Platform As A Service ( PAAS )
    - Software As A Service ( SAAS )

    3 types of cloud computing deployments
    - public (eg. aws, azure, google, etc.)
    - Hybrid ( mixture of public and private )
    - private cloud or on premise ( you manage it in your data center )
