Cloud computing is the delivery of computing services including storage, servers, databases, networking, and software over the internet (“the cloud”). Instead of storing data or running applications on a local computer, users access resources remotely through cloud infrastructure managed by service providers. Major providers include: These companies operate global data centers that power modern cloud computing services. How Cloud Computing Works At its core, cloud computing relies on a network of remote servers hosted on the internet to store, manage, and process data. Users connect via: The provider manages: This allows businesses to focus on growth instead of infrastructure management. Cloud Service Models There are three different types of cloud computing services, namely Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as …
Ansistrano is one among several Ansible Galaxy roles for simply managing deployment requirements of scripting applications like PHP, Python, and Ruby. It is in real Ansible added to Capistrano or in other words a modification of Capistrano. Ansible Galaxy is the website where users can take, manage and share roles. It also provides a command-line interface for working on roles for the user. Why Ansistrano? Ansistrano, an Ansible role globally distributed through Ansible Galaxy. Deployment processes in scripting could be easily managed using ‘ansistrano.deploy’ and ‘ansistrano.rollback’, which are examples of Ansible roles. A similar role called Capistrano was designed to deploy RoR applications from a remote server to perform automation tools. Ansible’s goals square measure foremost those of simplicity and …

An associated key pair ( private key and a public key) is necessary to access EC2 instance securely. In case you have lost or corrupted the key pair, here’s how you can regain access to AWS EC2 Linux instance. Let’s assume that the EC2 instance running contains a website but you have lost the key pair that is associated with the EC2 instance. And here we will show the two easiest ways to regain access to AWS Linux EC2 instances. By using an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) By swapping the volume of the EC2 instance By using an AMI An Amazon Machine Image (AMI) is the exact copy of the settings and configuration of an EC2 instance. We can create …
A Network File System is a distributed file system protocol that supports remote hosts to mount file systems through the network and interact with the file systems as though they are mounted sectionally. This allows us to connect resources to centralized servers on the network. Amazon EFS-Elastic File System gives you a simple, scalable, and fully managed elastic NFS file system to use with AWS Cloud services and on-premises resources. In this demonstration, we will show you how to configure a Network File System-NFS using AWS EFS and connect to an EC2 instance. 1. Create a File System From the AWS EFS console, we can easily create a highly available and scalable network file system. 2. Deploy an EC2 instance …
This documentation will show you how to create an LVM partition on an AWS EBS volume. LVM is a storage virtualization technology that offers a flexible way to manage disk space. Using LVM we can have multiple virtual partitions on a physical volume or a single virtual partition over numerous physical volumes. 1. Deploy an EC2 instance Login to your AWS management console and search for EC2. On the EC2 dashboard, click Launch Instance to deploy a virtual machine. Provide an instance name and choose the OS image, key pair, instance type, etc. Review the configuration, storage, tagging, and security settings selected for your instance.

Developers and platform engineers have much to gain from using both Google App Engine and Compute Engine, as these cloud computing solutions offer distinct benefits during the various stages of application development. Despite their similar names, these two services serve different purposes, with Google App Engine functioning as a Platform as a Service (PaaS) and Google Compute Engine operating as an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). PaaS solutions like Google App Engine offer a platform where developers can build and deploy their applications without having to worry about managing the infrastructure that makes its base. This helps them to focus solely on developing the application code and functionality, with the platform handling tasks such as scaling and load balancing. On …
Google Cloud Storage is an object storage service that provides multiple features such as Saving an object in a cloud storage bucket is usually inexpensive depending on the storage class we use. The Google Cloud Storage pricing per GB is low but when it comes to a large volume of data or multiple APIs operations, it will increase the cost quickly. Here, the Google Cloud Storage Lifecycle Management Rules provide you with a solution to deal with different and unpredictable data. Lifecycle rules can be set up to automatically change the storage classes or to automatically delete unnecessary data for cost optimization. Create a Google Cloud Storage bucket GCP Storage classes The storage classes in GCP allow the customers to …
