Some software-intensive applications cannot easily utilize cloud-based environments such as safety-critical softwares [3].

Pros and Cons

The cloud computing’s detrimental is the latency issue which is basically due to the long distance between the source and the destination or client and datacenter, rather than the latency issue the cloud computing is more beneficial as compared to the on-premises environment due to more resources such as compute power, storage, memory and networking while the on-premises environment has the limited resources and it’s maintenance is also a hectic process due to which a business can face the downtime but on the other hand cloud computing is quietly opposite if the maintenance is required in any availability zone the business can get the service from the other availability zone also the intimation is received when there is a downtime required but the services are not disturbed. As per the aspect of the IT department the cloud computing has reduces the efforts of organization’s engineers by acquiring the major maintenance job also the electrical power issues are also been addressed because electricity is no more issue for the organizations.
