Abstract

Cloud computing environments allow businesses to deploy applications in a fast and scalable way. Infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) and container-as-a-service (CaaS) models can be adopted for the deployment of cloud-based applications. The current paper presents a specific near-real-world scenario of a cloud-based application, deployed by the two aforementioned cloud models. The deployment cost differs between the cloud models and relies on the number of utilized resources, which is driven by the user demand. Since the cost is a major importance factor that finally determines the adoption of cloud technology, it is challenging to estimate and examine the cost of each proposed approach. This research can help cloud computing professionals pick a model that meets their goals and budget. It's also useful for cloud cost analysis. The corresponding costs of the two deployments are estimated based on the pricing policies of major providers, Amazon, Google, and Microsoft.
