The compute spectrum
On This Lesson 4 topics
This lesson is planned. The outline below lists the topics it will cover. The full lesson has not been published yet.
In this lesson
place compute options on one spectrum from control to convenience.
Planned topics
- Virtual machines: most control, most operating work.
- Managed container platforms: you ship containers, the provider runs the servers or scheduling.
- Kubernetes: powerful orchestration you operate or rent as a managed control plane.
- Serverless functions: you ship code, pay per run, scale to zero; limits on duration and runtime.
- Compare by control, scaling, cost shape, and operating effort, not by fashion.
