There are three computing methods on the cloud: virtual machine, container and function. Despite many similarities, each method's purpose and usage is unique. Therefore, the most important part of using cloud computing is to understand their nuances and choose different cloud computing models to meet business needs. Let's start with the VM!
Before going to the cloud, when companies needed servers, they usually purchased physical servers so that they could provide their own web services; however, they had to pay a high price, including maintenance and operation manpower, electricity, cabinets, etc.
Customers will also spend weeks waiting for servers to be relocated and installed.
However, with cloud technology, you can provision a virtual machine (VM) with the click of a button. You no longer need to invest a lot of time and money up front; even, you can deploy VMs to test your services before the production environment.
All cloud providers offer services for virtual machines. This is often referred to as Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS).
In short, IaaS means that AWS, Google, Azure, and Alibaba all have server rooms, allowing customers to purchase and install a virtual server by themselves, and only need to pay a part of the rental fee.
oservices that save money and resources by avoiding overbuilding.
Containers as a Service (CaaS) is another service commonly used in cloud solutions. Containers are another practice of virtualization technology; meaning containers can use fewer resources than VMs to achieve a specific purpose. Containers are essentially so-called microservices that save money and resources by avoiding over-provisioning.
Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is a pioneer in containerization. After Google developed the famous open source containerization platform Kubernetes (K8S), it provides the most comprehensive cloud native experience for containerization. Also because of the popularity of K8S, almost all cloud providers provide their own Kubernetes services or other containerization options that can be well combined with other cloud services.
The last to mention is what is called: Functions as a Service (FaaS). This service is also called Serverless technology. With FaaS, what we do is just write a set of program codes, and then the cloud will be responsible for the subsequent construction of machines and environments without our management or doing anything.
Cloud object storage allows you to save and access images, videos, and other types of files from anywhere in the world. Maybe you've used services like Google Drive or Dropbox before? That's object storage.
Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Microsoft Azure, and Alibaba Cloud all have versions of object storage, but essentially they all do the same thing, store files and make them accessible. simple right?
Block storage is the cloud version of hard disks that provide storage capabilities for your virtual instances, so you can download and configure instances as needed.
File systems are a powerful way to collect and store data from many different instances simultaneously.
