This document provides information about cloud computing and Drupal cloud hosting providers. It discusses traditional hosting limitations like high costs, difficulty maintaining servers, and downtime issues. Cloud computing evolved to address these through virtualization, pay-as-you-go models, and automatic scaling. The document then compares top Drupal cloud providers Acquia, Pantheon, and Platform.sh based on their base cloud provider, uptime SLAs, pricing, support offerings, development environments, and other features. It concludes that while each provider has pros and cons, budget and client requirements should determine the best choice for a given project.

It provides most value-added storage solution there you can store your data
(hot, cold and archived)

CDN is in-built to the hosting provider
itself. It is very important to choose a
correct cloud hosting provider to get
more efficient solutions (Some of the
cloud hosting provider will not
provisioned, if they are reseller. There
will be chance delay on problem
solving...)

To handling the AI code and defining the workflow of AI, cloud has
specialized tools on it. Also it has most specialized data storage tools to
handle AI specific.

As you mentioned, it is Pay-as-you-go model (Consumption model)?
Will it give me to fix my budget?
Of course, it will provide you the interface to decide the budget for the
month. If you cross the budget, it will send you the alert.
Moreover, small companies will be benefited with this model. They don’t
want to invest lot on hosting in advance.

40. Conclusion on Drupal hosting providers
1. To be honest, everyone is cloud hosting reseller, not direct providers.
2. Equally we have pros and cons on each providers.
3. I would say, budget will be the best constraints to decide on choosing
them.
4. However, its all depends on client requirement to choose the hosting
model.
Example : If client decided to have microservices to interact with
drupal layer. Maybe we could recommend platform.sh, which has lot of
development platform support to host the microservice.

41. I hope, you enjoyed this session.
Please be safe and justify for our sacrifice
Thank you ...
