Advantages of Cloud Computing for Software Developers
• Immediate availability• Unlimited scalability• Dramatic cost savings
Cloud Computing allows better building, testing and
deploying software. Many companies have already adopted
cloud technologies to support their development processes.
Contemporary software developers have to face a number of
new challenges.
1. Much shorter schedules
2. Low budgets
3. Complex development environments with dozens of
elaborate technologies for development, QA and deployment
4. Rigorous security requirements
5. Contemporary development teams often consist of
geographically distant individuals
6. Today’s development methodologies often require highly
iterative approaches, take Agile SCRUM, for example

7. Finally, the IT industry of today is far from using standard
practices, to say the least. Ad hoc management and local
peculiarities plague the IT landscape.
It is in these circumstances that developers are turning to
their IT departments for help. Previously, when IT
infrastructure mainly consisted of physical resources,
solutions were not found easily due to lack of budget,
backlog and resource scarcity.
Advantages of cloud computing
Scalability and elasticity of cloud computing help solve the
following problems of older IT departments
• Highly variable workloads
• Most of custom software development projects are unique
in many ways including scope, budget, resources, teams,
lifecycle, etc.
• Instant access
• Whatever your workload may be, one thing is sure – you
will have your resources correctly and immediately
• Large resources for short time
• From time to time every software developer needs highly
productive resources for short term tasks
