Draft a response to the questions below, which will address the three cloud computing services. Remember to use your textbook and other academic resources to justify your responses.

1. Consider a web application to be deployed on the cloud. What options would you have that would be viable for the application size with the use of virtualization tools including VMware ESXi, Citrix Xen and Microsoft Hyper-V?
   
   
2. In what ways will it need to scale?
   
   
3. What would be some of the benefits and challenges of each of the scalable architectures in relation to usability, development ease, and programming resources?
