Comparison of clusters on a dedicated server and on a cloud server

	Cloud server	Dedicated server
What tasks are suitable for	For tasks with uneven load, when autoscaling of node groups is required	For load-balanced tasks and for streaming data processing
Resource Utilization	There can be multiple clients on the same host: If one client uses all the resources of a host, it affects the performance of other clients on that host; Due to the use of a single bandwidth, DDoS attacks on one client can affect other clients	Dedicated resources and isolation from other clients
Payment	Pay-as-you-go — hourly payment only for resources used	Tariff plans Prepaid for all ordered resources
Data storage	Persistent volumes (PVs) on network disks. If an error occurs on a node, the network disk will be preserved and no data will be lost	Local storage (e.g., local disks, persistent volumes (PVs) on the same server); External storage (e.g., file storage, persistent volumes (PVs) on another server)
