What is the cloud?

Question 1

a concept. A technological Approach where computing resources are provisioned in a sharable way so that lots of users get what they need when they need it.

Answer 1

What is the cloud?

Question 2

companies provide resources for each other using shared resources.

Answer 2

cloud

Question 3

A core concept of how cloud computing technologies work. it allows the concept of a physical machine and a logical machine to be abstracted away from each other. a single physical machine called a host could run many individual virtual instances called guests.

Answer 3

Hardware virtualization

Question 4

a physical machine that runs many individual virtual instances called guests

Answer 4

host

Question 5

these employ a hypervisor

Answer 5

Hardware virtualization platforms

Question 6

a piece of software that runs and manages virtual machines while also offering these guests a virtual operating platform that is indistinguishable from actual hardware

Answer 6

hypervisor

Question 7

a single computer can act as the host for many independent virtual instances, run their own operating system, can be indistinguishable from the same operating systems on physical hardware

Answer 7

virtualization

Question 8

a huge cluster of interconnected machines thatCan all function as hosts for lots of virtual guests. a system that lets you share resources among all of those instances

Answer 8

The cloud

Question 9

A huge collection of interconnected servers that can host virtualized servers. These virtual instances running on this collection of servers can be given access to underlying ram as they need it. the company that runs the collection of servers can charge you to host virtual instances on your servers instead of you buying the four physical machines and it can cost much less than what you would spend on four physical servers.

Answer 9

cloud

Question 10

what can I do instead of worrying about setting up my own backup solution?

Answer 10

use cloud server

Question 11

what can I do if I need a load balancer?

Answer 11

use cloud server

Question 12

what would happen if any underlying hardware broke

Answer 12

the cloud server moves the virtual instane to another machine without me even noticing

Question 13

do I need to wait long to implement changes?

Answer 13

no. Just a few clicks.

Question 14

a large cluster of machines run by a single large corporation and generally physically hosted on its own premises

Answer 14

Private cloud

Question 15

a term used to describe situations where companies might run things like their most sensitive proprietary technologies on a private cloud while entrusting their less sensitive servers to a public cloud

Answer 15

hybrid cloud

Question 16

a new model in computing were large clusters of machines let us use the total resources available in a better way. lets I provision a new server in a matter of moments and leverage lots of existing services instead of having to build your own.

Answer 16

cloud services
