A Data Scientist at work has come to you stating they need several very large servers in order to conduct an analysis of historical customer data. They will need the servers for about 24 hours, after which they will only need the results of the analysis saved to a file service. What benefit of cloud computing is relevant to this scenario?
Cloud computing offers on-demand infrastructure for ad-hoc requests like this, which makes it a great fit for the use case given. In a traditional data center you may not have the large servers needed, they may be in-use by another team or system, or you may not be able to afford the large servers required. With Cloud Computing you can get the servers necessary on demand and delete them when you are finished (backing up the results elsewhere before deleting).
