What Is Cloud Bursting And Why It Is A Game Changer For Your Organization
TechZone360, Friday, July 14,2023
Cloud bursting is an application deployment model that allows an organization to run applications in a private cloud or data center and "burst" into a public cloud when the demand for computing capacity spikes. The model offers a solution to the challenge of scalability while maintaining data security and optimizing cost.
In more technical terms, cloud bursting is a process that involves the dynamic deployment of an application that runs on a private cloud into a public cloud. When the demand for the application exceeds the capacity of the private cloud, the overflow traffic is directed to the public cloud. This ensures that the application remains available to users.
Understanding cloud bursting requires understanding the difference between private and public clouds. A private cloud is a proprietary network or a data center that delivers hosted services to a limited number of people, often within the same business or organization. In contrast, a public cloud is a service offered over the internet that is open to anyone who wants to purchase or use it.
