Considerations using the cloud as your update source

When using the cloud as your update source, there are some considerations that you should keep in mind:

1. Network connectivity: Devices must be able to connect to the Office CDN. For this, the URLs and IPs listed in Office 365 URLs and IP address ranges must be accessible for devices 
2. Cost: The cost of storage in Azure can be significantly lower than the cost of maintaining storage with similar characteristics in an on-premises data center
3. Elastic scale: Planning and managing data capacity growth in an on-premises environment can be challenging, particularly when data growth is difficult to predict
4. Disaster recovery: Cloud-based software can offer quick disaster recovery and backup

In addition to these considerations, cloud-based software can also offer reduced costs, more flexibility and scalability, mobility, improved collaboration, enhanced data security, and a reduced carbon footprint for a better environment
