Cloud Computing: Lowering the Barrier to Innovation
summary
Cloud reduces up-front IT costs and approval delays by offering pay-as-you-go utility pricing so projects can start without lengthy OMB-style budgets. Examples: Playfish moves from an expected 250,000 users to far higher traffic by scaling on EC2 virtual machines; the New York Times converts 4 TB TIFF images on EC2, where a coding error raises a job from ~$240 to ~$500 but finishes in 24 hours so the experiment succeeds; the Federal Register relaunches from March to July 26 on the cloud.
