 *High latency: Cloud bursting can also create latency — especially when using cloud storage systems located far away from the data center. Bursting certain resources to the public cloud can cause applications to suffer from performance issues. One way to reduce issues is to use edge resources that are located close to users.
 *Potential security issues: Generally speaking, businesses should be cautious about bursting sensitive data to the cloud as it requires running data across multiple locations. Businesses are strongly encouraged to back up data when bursting into the cloud to avoid any potential mishaps. It’s also important to extend authentication tools to the public cloud to ensure that applications remain protected.

 *Security: Direct access to public cloud infrastructures may not be local to centralized data center applications and data, requiring workloads to transverse over [[Wide Area Network (WAN)|wide area networks (WANs)]] or the public [[Internet|internet]], impeding performance and increasing the risk of outages and cyber-attacks.
 For applications to quickly access large volumes of public cloud compute or storage resources, or share data/app access across a hybrid cloud infrastructure, you need direct and secure interconnection that delivers low network latency and high-throughput at the edge, where the most user demand is being generated.

		+	Typical cloud bursting scenarios include spikes in seasonal e-commerce traffic, season finales of popular television series that break viewership records, or intense intervals of application development and testing. As user demand increases, private on-premises or cloud infrastructures need to quickly and seamlessly move either full or partial instances of applications and data to a duplicate infrastructure in the public cloud. For cloud bursting to be successful, there are a number of issues to consider, including:
		+	*Replication: The state of applications and data when replicated in a hybrid cloud environment must remain in synch so nothing gets lost during the cloud burst. Seamless orchestration (i.e., containers) and automation between private and public cloud environments is needed to provide a consistent application development environment, app/database synchronization, workload balancing and app failover.
		+	*Network: Legacy networks were not designed with agility in mind let alone cloud bursting, where at a moment’s notice, high-bandwidth, low-latency connectivity is required to meet the volitivity in workload demand.
		+	*Security: Direct access to public cloud infrastructures may not be local to centralized data center applications and data, requiring workloads to transverse over [[Wide Area Network (WAN)\|wide area networks (WANs)]] or the public [[Internet\|internet]], impeding performance and increasing the risk of outages and cyber-attacks.
		+	For applications to quickly access large volumes of public cloud compute or storage resources, or share data/app access across a hybrid cloud infrastructure, you need direct and secure interconnection that delivers low network latency and high-throughput at the edge, where the most user demand is being generated.

 *[[Software Development]] Software development and [[Analytics|analytics]] are two of the most common use cases for cloud bursting. DevOps teams often use multiple [[Virtual Machine (VM)|virtual machines]] for testing purposes, which are only needed for a short amount of time. Plus, [[CI/CD]] tasks are good candidates for bursting into the public cloud, since CI/CD requires several one-off tasks that run for a short amount of time when developers push new commits.
 *[[Marketing Campaign|Marketing campaigns]]: Marketing campaigns for new [[Product|product]] launches can generate a huge influx of traffic that requires extended cloud resources. Imagine the [[Marketing|marketing]] push for an anticipated Hollywood movie or video game release.
