Cloud Computing (in easy words)

What Is Containerization? ===>The most popular containerization ecosystems are Docker and Kubernetes. Containerization   is a lightweight alternative to a virtual machine that involves encapsulating an application in a container with its own operating system. A container takes its meaning from the logistics term,  packaging container . When we refer to an application container, we mean packaging software. Containerization has recently gained hypes with an open source tool  Docker . Docker containers are designed to run on every environment from physical computers to virtual machines, from bare-metal,  Clouds , etc. Docker Not the Only Containerization Option Docker may have been the first to bring attention to containerization, but it's no longer the only container system option. CoreOS recently released a streamlined alternative to Docker called Rocket. And Canonical, developers of the  Ubuntu   Linux -based operating sy...

What is a Hypervisor?   Main concept of virtualization is to avoid the cost of buying multiple hardwares. To utilize a single system/ Hardware /Server in a way that it could run multiple operating systems is what called virtualization. And this technique is become the most famous especially all over the data centers environments and you can use this technique on your personal laptop or pc. Hypervisor , also known as a virtual machine monitor, is a process that creates and runs virtual machines (VMs). A hypervisor allows one host computer to support multiple guest VMs by virtually sharing its resources, like memory and processing. Generally, there are two types of hypervisors. Type 1 hypervisors, called “bare metal,” run directly on the host’s hardware. Type 2 hypervisors, called “hosted,” run as a software layer on an operating system, like other computer programs If virtualization is defined as enabling multiple operating systems to run on a single host computer, then the...

Types of Virtualization in Cloud Computing :- Virtualization in cloud computing allows you to run multiple applications and operating systems on the same server, thereby providing for efficient resource utilization and reducing costs. Virtualization can take many forms depending on the type of application use and hardware utilization. The main types are listed below: Hardware Virtualization Hardware virtualization also known as hardware-assisted virtualization or server virtualization runs on the concept that an individual independent segment of hardware or a physical server, may be made up of multiple smaller hardware segments or servers, essentially consolidating multiple physical servers into   virtual servers   that run on a single primary physical server. Each small server can host a virtual machine, but the entire cluster of servers is treated as a single device by any process requesting the hardware. The hardware resource allotment is done by the...

Virtualization in Cloud Computing (PART 1) Virtualization  is the "creation of a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, such as a server, a desktop, a storage device, an operating system or network resources". Single Physical Machine divided into multiple virtual machines using  Virtualization Software . A great example of how it works in your daily life is the separation of your hard drive into different parts. While you may have only one hard drive, your system sees it as two, three or more different and separate segments.  Similarly, this technology  has been used for a long time. It started as the ability to run multiple operating systems on one hardware set and now it a vital part of testing and cloud-based computing.  With the help of Virtualization multiple operating systems and applications can run on same Machine and its same hardware at the same time increasing the utilization and flexibility of hardware. In other word...

Categories Of Cloud Computing:- Cloud computing is the use of a network of remote servers hosted on the Internet to store, manage and process data rather than a local server. Basics Of Cloud Computing Cloud Computing service providers give the ability to manage applications and services through a global network. To be precise, cloud computing is the delivery of computing services like servers, storage and more over the Internet. The companies that offer these computing services are called cloud providers. They charge for  cloud computing  services based on usage called as UTILITY COMPUTING. Example: Amazon Web service and Microsoft Azure Cloud Service Providers Cloud computing is usually described in two categories. They are, DEPLOYMENT MODEL  (LOCATION BASICS)AND SERVICE MODEL Based on a cloud location, we can classify cloud as: Public, Private, Hybrid Community Cloud Based on a service that the cloud is offering, we c...

CLOUD COMPUTING:- Explained in terms that a non-technical person can understand Until the late 19th century, people produced their own power. They connected their horse, windmill or water wheel to run their own machines. However, in the late 19th century, power plants were invented to produce large amounts of power in a single unit and transmit to every home. Now, you no longer need to run your own power generator like in the picture above or move your muscles to grind stuff. You could just flick a switch. Cloud computing is doing to computing what power plants did to power production 150 years ago. Just like the farmers above, we are still running big computers at our home - to store data, run software etc. Your PC is as powerful as the ones that sent a spaceship to the moon 45 years ago. Why do you need such a powerful computer at your home? What if you could move all these computers to some remote location and through a wire just access relevant data at the right time...
