Cloud Economics
Overview
Analysis of economic models and cost frameworks for cloud computing environments. This research examines pricing strategies, resource allocation efficiency, and total cost of ownership for cloud-based infrastructure.
Topics include comparative analysis of service models (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS), elasticity economics, and optimization of cloud expenditure.
A Framework for Cloud Computing Cost Analysis
Abstract
An economic framework for analyzing and optimizing cloud computing costs is proposed. The framework addresses the complexity of cloud pricing models, resource elasticity, and the trade-offs between different service tiers (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS).
Key Results
The framework enables systematic comparison of total cost of ownership across cloud providers and service models. Case studies demonstrate cost savings of 20-40% through informed resource allocation and pricing model selection.
