Interactive Demo
Cloud Elasticity Simulator
Cloud Elasticity Simulator is a free, interactive learning demo from the Computer Applications and Information Technology course on Lykke. It helps you build intuition for Cloud Computing, Cloud Infrastructure, Data Analytics, Data Modeling. Play with it directly in your browser — it features 3 sliders, 1 toggle and a live visual canvas. This demo lives in the “Cloud Computing and Data Analytics” section of the course.
How to use this demo
- Drag the “Incoming Traffic (Requests/s)”, “Auto-Scaling Threshold (CPU %)” sliders to change the inputs and watch the result update live.
- Toggle the checkboxes to show or hide layers and compare cases.
- Experiment freely — there's nothing to break, and every change is reversible.
What you'll explore
- Cloud Computing
- Cloud Infrastructure
- Data Analytics
- Data Modeling
- SaaS/PaaS/IaaS
Frequently asked questions
What does the Cloud Elasticity Simulator demo do?
Exploring modern infrastructure through cloud computing and the use of data analytics for business modeling. Cloud Elasticity Simulator turns that idea into something you can manipulate directly and watch respond.
What Computer Applications and Information Technology concept does Cloud Elasticity Simulator teach?
Exploring modern infrastructure through cloud computing and the use of data analytics for business modeling. It focuses on Cloud Computing, Cloud Infrastructure, Data Analytics, Data Modeling, SaaS/PaaS/IaaS from the “Cloud Computing and Data Analytics” section.
What can I control in Cloud Elasticity Simulator?
The “Incoming Traffic (Requests/s)”, “Auto-Scaling Threshold (CPU %)” sliders change the key inputs; toggles show or hide layers so you can compare cases. Every change updates the visualization in real time, so you can see exactly how each variable affects the outcome.
How does Cloud Elasticity Simulator fit into the Computer Applications and Information Technology course?
This course provides a comprehensive exploration of Information Technology (IT) and Computer Applications, focusing on their role in modern business operations. Students will develop practical skills in workplace softwa… This demo is the interactive piece for the “Cloud Computing and Data Analytics” section.
