An Analytical Study of Scalability, Security, and Cost Efficiency in Modern Cloud Computing Architectures
Abstract
Cloud computing has revolutionized IT infrastructure by offering scalable, on-demand resources with cost-efficient models. However, challenges persist in balancing scalability, security, and cost efficiency in modern cloud architectures. This study conducts a comprehensive analysis of these three critical aspects, evaluating their interdependencies and trade-offs. We examine various cloud deployment models, security threats, and cost optimization techniques, providing insights into best practices for enterprises. Through empirical data and case studies, we highlight key trends and propose recommendations for enhancing cloud performance while maintaining robust security and economic viability.
