Compute Services

• These services are used to run the applications which use CPU (application)
• Here we have a major component which is virtual machines
• Generally Compute Services are server side components
• Cloud Service Providers offer different configurations
  • Operating Systems
  • Sizes (CPU & RAM) & indirectly hardware
  • Network integrations
  • Credentials
  • Administrative controls
• Bare metal gives direct access to hardware
  
• High Performance Compute (HPC): Gives a way to use Super computers on cloud easily
• Cloud Model for compute is on-demand (Pay as you go)
  • Launch vm whenever you want
  • pay hourly bills
  • delete the vm whenever you want
• This opens up an idea of elastic scaling (increasing and decreasing number of servers) based on demand or needs
