OVERVIEW: From the creators of the Internet's #1 Cloud Computing podcast, The Cloudcast, Aaron Delp (@aarondelp) and Brian Gracely (@bgracely) introduce this new podcast, Cloudcast Basics.
- What does compute mean in the cloud? CPU, Memory, Operating System (Linux/Windows), local Storage, GPUs, basic networking (I/O)
- How is compute allocated? Bare Metal, Virtual Machine, Container - the concept of “slicing” up a computer into various sizes.
- How was compute allocated before cloud computing? IT tickets, rack & stack, install software, etc.
- What does the cloud computing provider do with compute (responsibilities vs. customer responsibilities)?
- Why are there so many variations of compute? Do some applications require specific compute?
- Does it matter where the compute is located? How do clouds organize the compute (availability zones, regions, etc.)?
- How much does compute cost in the cloud? What are the various ways you can buy compute (or have it be billed - on demand, reserved instances, spot instances, usage credits)?
