The advantage of vertical scaling is that it keeps data on a single node, and distributes the load between CPU and <a href=\"https:\/\/datascientest.com\/en\/ram-or-random-access-memory-what-is-it\">RAM<\/a> resources.<\/p><p>The aim of vertical scaling is to add<strong> CPU, RAM and memory resources<\/strong> to a single node to cope with a growing workload. This method makes it possible to increase existing hardware or software capacity.<\/p><p>However, it&#8217;s important to note that there is a limit to how much capacity can be added to a server. In the Cloud, vertical scaling consists of adding a server or replacing a server with a more powerful one.<\/p><p>In a data center, vertical scaling means adding resources to a <strong>single node<\/strong>.
