Sometimes the amount of computation required to carry out a task can be enormous. This typically happens when there is a large dataset that has a size greater than the typical RAM size of a machine. It can also typically happen when the required processing on the data is huge.

In such cases, it is a good idea to switch to cloud-based analysis, which can help scale up a larger RAM size quickly. It can also avoid the need to purchase extended RAM to resolve an issue that might not occur very frequently. However, there is a cost ...
