What is a server?
Is one server /
machine
enough?
How to handle
high traffic
then?
 As traffic increases => more computing
resources / servers are needed

Remember
this!
Low traffic but lot of servers?
Underutilized – Waste of resources

“Sharing”

Made possible
by Cloud
computing! Cloud Providers have built several data centres like this with
thousands of servers, storage and high speed networks

Virtualization

Hardware
 Infrastructure as a Service

• Physical infrastructure is shared through virtualization

Different • Customers create virtual servers (VMs), virtual networks, virtual storage as required
• Pay-as-you-go model AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, etc.
Sharing
Models Platform as a Service

• Another layer of abstraction

• Cloud providers provide just an application runtime – Even the virtualization
Azure AppService, Google AppEngine, etc.
layer is hidden!
 Software as a Service

Heard of SaaS
before?
• SaaS companies offer pre-built applications for
use by other companies
• So, companies don’t have to build such apps for
their own use
• Example, Shopify, Zoom, etc.
Demo time
 Constant tune up required -> Need to increase / decrease resources

New
problems! Sometimes, VMs will also fail (like normal computers)

Different cloud providers provide different abstractions / interfaces

  What is Kubernetes?
 Leading cluster manager or orchestrator for running multiple
applications
 Think of K8s like a manager running in the form of software
