The Infra Journey

Bare Metal Servers

• · High perform /a.alt nce
• · Direct control over h /a.alt rdw /a.alt re resources
• · Limited in /f.short lexibility /a.alt nd sc /a.alt l /a.alt bility
• · Not well utilised
Virtualization

• · Multiple virtu /a.alt l servers run on /a.alt single physic /a.alt l server
• · Better resource utilis /a.alt tion /a.alt nd improved sc /a.alt l /a.alt bility
• · Hypervisors; VMw /a.alt re, Xen /a.alt nd KVM
• · AWS
Cloud Computing

• · Sc /a.alt l /a.alt ble /a.alt nd on-dem /a.alt nd /a.alt ccess to virtu /a.alt lized resources
• · Infr /a.alt structure /a.alt s /a.alt Service (I /a.alt/a.alt S), Pl /a.alt tform /a.alt s /a.alt Service (P /a.alt/a.alt S), /a.alt nd Softw /a.alt re /a.alt s /a.alt Service (S /a.alt/a.alt S)
• · El /a.alt sticity, p /a.alt y/a.alt s-you-go pricing, self-service provisioning, /a.alt nd glob /a.alt l /a.alt v /a.alt il /a.alt bility
• · Applic /a.alt tion M /a.alt n /a.alt gement rem /a.alt ins troublesome
Containerization

• · Docker
• · Applic /a.alt tions p /a.alt ck /a.alt ged /a.alt long with their dependencies
• · Port /a.alt bility, consistency, /a.alt nd isol /a.alt tion
• · Server needs to keep running


Serverless

• · Code only, no infr /a.alt structure
• · AWS L /a.alt mbd /a.alt , Azure Functions, /a.alt nd Google Cloud Functions
• · No server m /a.alt n /a.alt gement, reduced oper /a.alt tion /a.alt l overhe /a.alt d, /a.alt utom /a.alt tic sc /a.alt ling, /a.alt nd p /a.alt y-per-execution pricing
• · Still c /a.alt n't reduce l /a.alt tency on CPU bound t /a.alt sks
Edge Computing

• · Comput /a.alt tion /a.alt nd d /a.alt t /a.alt stor /a.alt ge closer to end-user
• · Reduced l /a.alt tency /a.alt nd b /a.alt ndwidth us /a.alt ge
