AWS白皮书 中文版（中英对照版） - 003 云计算的六大优势

云计算的六大优势

• Trade capital expense for variable expense – Instead of having to invest heavily in data centers and servers before you know how you’re going to use them, you can pay only when you consume computing resources, and pay only for how much you consume.
• 以更加便宜可变的费用，代替原先大量的固定支出 —— 在你知道如何使用数据中心和服务器之前，你不必在数据中心和服务器上进行大量投资，你只需在消耗计算资源时支付，只需为消耗多少支付。

• Benefit from massive economies of scale – By using cloud computing, you can achieve a lower variable cost than you can get on your own. Because usage from hundreds of thousands of customers is aggregated in the cloud, providers such as AWS can achieve higher economies of scale, which translates into lower pay as-you-go prices.
• 受益于更大规模的业务 —— 通过使用云计算，你可以实现比你自己更低的可变成本。由于数十万客户的使用在云中聚合，AWS等提供商可以实现更高的规模经济，这意味着现收现付的价格更低。

• Stop guessing capacity – Eliminate guessing on your infrastructure capacity needs. When you make a capacity decision prior to deploying an application, you often end up either sitting on expensive idle resources or dealing with limited capacity. With cloud computing, these problems go away. You can access as much or as little capacity as you need, and scale up and down as required with only a few minutes’ notice.
• 停止猜测业务容量 —— 消除对基础设施容量需求的猜测。当您在部署应用程序之前做出容量决策时，通常会按照较高的要求或者业务上限提供容量，如内存、CPU、磁盘、网络带宽等，否则你就需要在大量资源空闲，或者高峰期资源不足的情况下做抉择。有了云计算，这些问题就会消失。您可以根据需要访问任意多或任意少的容量，只需提前几分钟通知即可根据需要放大或缩小容量。

• Increase speed and agility – In a cloud computing environment, new IT resources are only a click away, which means that you reduce the time to make those resources available to your developers from weeks to just minutes. This results in a dramatic increase in agility for the organization, since the cost and time it takes to experiment and develop is significantly lower.
• 提高速度和灵活性 —— 在云计算环境中，只需点击一下鼠标即可获得新的IT资源，这意味着您可以将开发人员获得这些资源的时间从几周减少到几分钟。这导致组织的敏捷性显著提高，因为实验和开发所需的成本和时间显著降低。

• Stop spending money running and maintaining data centers – Focus on projects that differentiate your business, not the infrastructure. Cloud computing lets you focus on your own customers, rather than on the heavy lifting of racking, stacking, and powering servers.
• 停止在运营和维护数据中心上花钱——专注于让业务与众不同的项目，而不是基础设施。云计算让你专注于自己的客户，而不是繁重的机架、堆叠和供电服务器。

• Go global in minutes – Easily deploy your application in multiple regions around the world with just a few clicks. This means you can provide lower latency and a better experience for your customers at minimal cost.
• 几分钟内在全球部署应用——只需点击几下，即可在全球多个地区轻松部署应用程序。这意味着您可以以最低的成本为客户提供更低的延迟和更好的体验。
