Benefits of Public Cloud Computing

Businesses that want to use cloud computing have a choice of using a public cloud or private cloud, or a mixture of the two in the form of a hybrid cloud.

Cloud Computing is moving into 3 separate distinct directions:
Public Cloud Computing: like Amazon’s EC2 and Rackspace, designed to provide the lowest cost shared computing service with a utility delivery model where you can pay for services by the hour.
Private Cloud Computing: the opposite end of the spectrum where the entire cloud infrastructure (servers, storage and network) is dedicated to a single company.
Managed Cloud Computing: where a secure private cloud is sold by the server.

In this post, we’ll discuss the benefits of public cloud computing along with some of its drawbacks.

Benefits of public cloud:

Utility Price Model

One of the most attractive benefits of public cloud computing is that you can pay for your computing by the hour. If you only need a test server to run a 1 hour regression test, you can spin up the server, run your test, and turn down the server for less than $0.10. Amazon even sells compute cycles at spot demand prices through an auction process.

API access

Many public cloud hosts provide APIs (albeit proprietary) which allow users to programmatically spin up & kill servers through API access. These can be very beneficial for systems that need to spin up a massive number of servers such as research and test environments.

Configure & Pay Online

As opposed to a private cloud where the entire infrastructure is designed around a client’s specific requirements, the public cloud can be purchased online, configured and deployed, in most cases, automatically through the provider’s web site.

At the same time there are some drawbacks to also be aware of with the public cloud:
Security & Compliance

Mid-size and large enterprises overwhelmingly prefer private clouds because of network and data security issues associated with the public cloud. You simply cannot achieve HIPAA Compliance or PCI Compliance in a public cloud.

Data Loss – No High Availability Fail Over

If a host crashes at Amazon, all of the virtual servers and data on that hardware host is lost. Public cloud servers are not built for high availability or automatic fail over. There are numerous Twitter posts & blogs on the pain felt when Amazon’s cloud crashed and there was no one to call at Amazon. Here’s an article on Amazon’s cloud crash wiping out their customers’ data and their impersonal response to their customers.

Fraud & Spammers

One public cloud hosting provider has fraud rates as high as 80%. Because sign up & deployment is fast & easy, a fraudulent user can spin up a cloud server on a stolen credit card, launch attacks and be gone before the credit card fraud is found. The only concern for legitimate users is if the shared server hardware is seized under warrant because of another user’s fraud.

Not all applications are a good fit for the public cloud. Many mid-size and large enterprises that want to assure the security & safety of their corporate and client data will move to the private cloud and won’t deploy their critical systems in the public cloud. However, there are a number of applications that are ideal for public cloud hosting including:

Development & Test Environments: Regression testing is a great example of an application for the public cloud. In a past software development life, I’d spin up a dozen servers to run thousands of test scenarios every 24 hours. With the ability to spin up 1000’s of servers programmatically, the test time can be reduced to minutes, speeding up software development cycles.
Compute Intensive Research Applications: At the University of Michigan, researchers are spinning up 1000’s of cores to run their DNA, genome and weather analysis programs. Most of these programs are written to withstand the crash of a server or two so the public cloud with spot demand pricing can provide tremendous resources very cost effectively for research computing.
Noncritical Web Servers and other applications where a crash of the server or loss of data isn’t critical to the organization.

Cách đơn giản loại bỏ rỉ sét bằng điện phân

Điện phân là một cách đơn giản và hiệu quả để loại bỏ rỉ sét và phục hồi kim loại mà không làm hỏng bề mặt như chà nhám hoặc đánh bằng chổi cước thép. Điện phân hoạt động tốt nhất trên sắt và thép. Không nên điện phân trên thép không gỉ, vì nó có thể giải phóng khí crom độc hại. Điện phân hoạt động như thế nào Điện phân xảy ra khi một dòng điện trực tiếp, điện áp thấp (DC) được truyền qua hai mảnh kim loại lơ lửng trong dung dịch hóa học (chất điện phân). Dòng điện gây ra sự truyền ion giữa hai mảnh kim loại, phá vỡ rỉ sét trên kim loại nối với điện cực âm (cực âm) trong khi ăn mòn kim loại nối với điện cực dương (cực dương). Vì điện phân không ảnh hưởng đến kim loại bên dưới, nó hoàn hảo để làm sạch các công cụ, khôi phục đồ cổ và nới lỏng các bu lông bị rỉ sét. Vật liệu cần thiết cho điện phân Điện phân nên được thực hiện trong một khu vực có nhiều thông gió, vì nó giải phóng một lượng nhỏ khí hydro và oxy, có thể dễ cháy nếu chúng tích tụ. Để loại bỏ rỉ sét bằng điện phân, bạn sẽ cầ...

Brain chip technology can transform the smartphone industry

Neuralink was founded by billionaire Elon Musk, a company specializing in neural technology based in San Francisco. The company is developing a brain-computer interface to treat neurological ailments like Alzheimer's, dementia and spinal cord injuries. Essentially, this is a network of tiny electrodes linked to the brain, allowing humans to communicate wirelessly with everything and everyone around them. Those inexplicable beliefs, fears, hopes, anxiety, and abstractions will become clear thanks to Neuralink's technology. In addition, it can allow humans to communicate with animals. Last year, the company started testing the Neuralink chip in Gertrude pigs. This may be considered unethical by many, but when it is scientifically understood and what it really means, the chip transplantation will be accepted as any groundbreaking discovery human has ever witnessed. . Of course, that doesn't deny the fact that putting a chip in an animal brain - and in the future, the human bra...

PUBLIC CLOUD vs PRIVATE CLOUD

The services cloud computing are distinguished primarily in Public Cloud, Private Cloud and a composite form, called Hybrid Cloud. What are the advantages and disadvantages related to each solution? What would be the most appropriate service for your company? We start to see more in detail what are the available cloud types. Public cloud The public cloud is provided by an external provider that, through the Internet, makes available IT resources necessary to support the business of a company. It is a cloud infrastructure is shared by multiple users, in which the provider is also responsible for configuring and managing the service. Advantages: Lower costs One of the main benefits of the public cloud is very competitive costs, due to the elimination of the cost of purchasing and maintaining the IT infrastructure as well as the specialized personnel assigned to service management. Potentially unlimited scalability Resources are distributed "on demand", facilitating the cha...
