You’re taking advantage of their ability to buy power, network, and hardware at a scale that would have been unimaginable a few years ago. Another benefit of the hyperscale clouds is their operational expertise and their infrastructure design. They can spin up a new server instance in seconds, providing compute on demand. And with container technologies, they’re able to quickly switch in new isolated environments and scale them up as necessary.
