Answer 1

`Hey,

Note: In case of any queries, just comment in box I would be very happy to assist all your queries

It's interesting to note that sites experiencing DDoS attacks, which saturate server resources, can take refuge in cloud computing providers and their accompanying extra horsepower to outlive the assaults. I suspect that other sites targeted by DDoS attacks -- either now or in the future -- will consider clouds as a survival strategy.

The cloud offers the advantage of elasticity. With the ability to bring thousands of cores online, as necessary and almost instantaneously, the cloud all but eliminates worries about a company's ability to meet a rapidly expanding needs, including attempts to saturate the infrastructure.

A cloud based solution is basically providing solutions to such problem on the internet only. Various implemetations are done to stop that unauthorised traffic or to prevent the system from getting slow. With the implementations of solution on the cloud only, the time taken to solve a problem gets reduced. Various filters, firewalls and other security measures are installed over the network to prevent such jamming of traffic. This extra traffic increases the response time and thus slowing down the overall system.

Kindly revert for any queries
