  • 21. What is IAAS

    IAAS is known as Infrastructure as a service. It is one of the layers of the popular computing model. IAAS is about virtualized computing resources, such as servers, storage, and networking, over the internet . With IaaS, users can rent these resources on a pay-per-use basis, rather than having to purchase and maintain their own physical infrastructure. This allows for greater scalability, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness in managing IT resources.

    Use cases for IaaS

    IaaS can be used in a variety of ways, depending on the needs of the user. Some common use cases for IaaS include:

    • Web hosting: IaaS can be used to host websites and web applications, providing the necessary computing resources to handle traffic and maintain uptime.
    • Development and testing: IaaS can provide a cost-effective way to test and develop applications, without the need for on-premises infrastructure.
    • Big data processing: IaaS can be used to process and store large amounts of data, which can be analyzed to gain insights and inform business decisions.

    Features

    IaaS providers typically offer a range of features and services to support their customers. Some of the key features of IaaS include:

    • Virtualization: IaaS relies on virtualization technology to create virtual machines, which can be used to run applications and store data.
    • On-demand scalability: With IaaS, users can quickly and easily scale their computing resources up or down as needed, based on changes in demand.
    • Self-service: IaaS providers typically offer self-service portals or APIs, which allow users to provision and manage their own computing resources.
    • Pay-per-use pricing: IaaS users only pay for the computing resources they use, based on an hourly or monthly rate.

    Examples

    • VMWare
    • DigitalOcean
    • AWS
    • GCP
    • Azure

    Conclusion

    Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is a popular cloud computing model that provides virtualized computing resources over the internet. With its scalability, cost-effectiveness, and flexibility, IaaS can be an attractive option for businesses and organizations of all sizes. Whether you’re looking to host a website, develop an application, or process big data, IaaS can provide the computing resources you need, without the need for on-premises infrastructure.

    17. How to Learn cloud in 2023

    Follow these steps to learn more about cloud computing in 2023.

    1 . Start by learning the basics of cloud computing.

    This includes understanding different types of cloud services such as infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), and software as a service (SaaS). Benefits and challenges of using the cloud.

    2 . Choose a cloud provider and set up your account:

    You can choose from several leading cloud providers, including Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform. Sign up for an account with one of these providers and explore their services and features.

    3 . Take an online course or get a certification:

    There are many online courses and certification programs to help you learn more about cloud computing. Look for courses that cover the specific cloud provider you’re interested in, as well as general cloud concepts and technologies.

    4 . Get hands-on experience:

    The best way to learn about cloud computing is to get hands-on experience building and deploying applications on cloud platforms. Experiment with different services and features before building a simple application or project.

    5 . Stay up to date with industry trends:

    Cloud computing is a rapidly evolving field, so it’s important to stay up to date with the latest trends and developments. Consider following cloud-related blogs and social media accounts, attending conferences and meetups, and learning from experts in the field.

    Overall, the key to learning about cloud computing in 2023 is to take a hands-on approach, combining theoretical knowledge with practical experience to develop a deep understanding of the cloud.

  • 12. [Hands-on] How to create a bucket in S3

    12. [Hands-on] How to create a bucket in S3

    In this blog, we will do hands-on. We will learn how to make an S3 bucket.

    What is S3?

    1 . S3 is a Simple Storage Service

    2. S3 is used to store the object (key/value) data

    3. S3 is a global service

    4. In S3, we create buckets. Buckets are like folders. They are regional

    5. Buckets contain the files.

    6. Buckets are key, and content is valuable in it

    7. One of the uses of the S3 is to hold static content such as images, HTML pages, CSS, and JavaScript.

    8. You can save from 0 to 5GB of data

    9. By default buckets are private and cannot be accessed outside.

    10. To make buckets public one needs to allow it by setting the policy.
