Virtual Machines

 Virtual Machines (VMs) provide a way to emulate a physical


computer within a virtual environment.
 A VM is a digital version of a physical computer.
 They allow users to run multiple operating systems on a single
physical machine.
 Each VM operates independently and can run its own
applications.
 Users have control over the operating system, applications,
and configurations within the VM.

3
Example

 Example: Consider a scenario where a company needs to host


multiple applications, each requiring different operating systems
and configurations.
 Using VMs, they can create separate virtual environments for
each application.
 For instance, one VM might run a Linux-based web server,
while another VM might run a Windows-based database server.
 This segregation enables efficient resource allocation and
isolation between different applications.

4
Functions as a Service

 Functions as a Service (FaaS): is a serverless


computing model where developers can deploy individual
functions or units of code that are executed in response to
specific events or triggers.

 Developers don't need to manage the underlying


infrastructure; instead, the cloud provider handles the
execution and scaling of these functions.

5
Functions as a Service

 FaaS is a subset of serverless computing that's focused on


event-driven triggers where code runs in response to
events or requests.
 FaaS allows developers to deploy individual functions or
pieces of code in response to events without managing
the underlying infrastructure.
 Popular FaaS platforms include AWS Lambda, Azure
Functions, and Google Cloud Functions.

6
Functions as a Service

 Event-driven (Like HTTP requests) architecture is


often used to design and implement systems that respond
to events in real-time, making it well-suited for
applications that require flexibility, scalability, and
responsiveness.
 FaaS is a specific implementation within the serverless
paradigm that focuses on executing individual functions in
response to events.

7
Example

 Example: Suppose an e-commerce platform wants to resize


and optimize images uploaded by users.
 With FaaS, the platform can create a function that triggers
when an image is uploaded.
 This function automatically resizes the image and optimizes
it for web use.
 The function executes only when an image is uploaded,
scaling as per the demand without the need for managing
servers.

8
Serverless Computing

 Serverless Computing: Serverless computing is a


computing model where infrastructure orchestration is
managed by service providers.
 It allows developers to run code without provisioning or
managing servers.
 In this model, the cloud provider handles the
infrastructure, scaling, and availability, allowing
developers to focus solely on writing and deploying code
in the form of functions.

9
Serverless Computing

 Serverless aims to eliminate the management and configuration


tasks enabling users to solely focus on the application.
 The term 'serverless' is somewhat misleading, as there are still
servers providing these backend services, but all of the server
space and infrastructure concerns are handled by the vendor.
 Serverless means that the developers can do their work
without having to worry about servers at all.
 Serverless computing can include other services like databases,
storage, and more, not just functions.

10
Example

 Example: Consider an application that processes user-uploaded


images.
 With a serverless approach, developers create functions that
process these images when they are uploaded.
 The cloud provider automatically handles the execution of these
functions on the necessary resources.
 The developers do not concern themselves with server
management; they focus on writing the image processing code,
while the cloud provider ensures the functions run and scale as
needed.

11
Auto-scaling

 Auto-scaling is a feature that allows the automatic


adjustment of computing resources based on the current
workload or demand.
 It ensures that the application or system has sufficient
resources to handle varying levels of traffic, preventing
over-provisioning (wasting resources) or under-
provisioning (resulting in performance issues).

12
Example

 Example: Imagine an e-commerce website that experiences


heavy traffic during holiday sales.
 With auto-scaling, the system can automatically increase
the number of instances or servers to handle the increased
load.
 Once the traffic subsides, the system scales down, reducing
the number of instances to save costs.
 This dynamic adjustment ensures that the application
performs optimally without manual intervention.

13
Load balancing

 Load balancing is the process of distributing incoming


network traffic across multiple servers or resources.
 Its primary goal is to optimize resource usage, maximize
throughput, minimize response time, and avoid
overloading any single resource.

14
Example

 Example: In a cloud environment hosting a web


application, load balancers distribute incoming user
requests among multiple servers.
 For instance, if one server receives numerous requests,
the load balancer routes some incoming traffic to other
less busy servers.
 This prevents any single server from being overwhelmed,
thereby ensuring better performance, high availability,
and efficient resource utilization.
