Physical Infrastructure: Compute
Explore the fundamentals of compute resources in cloud computing, including virtual machines, microservices, and containers. Understand how these components enable scalable and efficient cloud applications, and the role of orchestrators like Kubernetes in managing containerized environments.
We'll cover the following...
What is compute?
Any software application needs a certain processing power, memory, storage, and network to run successfully. We refer to a combination of these resources as compute in the cloud computing model.
Computing services form some of the fundamental services any cloud platform offers, as they are required in everything we do in the cloud. Cloud platforms provide various services that can be used in different settings.
Here, we’ll discuss concepts related to computing that cloud platforms provide.
