1 00:00:00,430 --> 00:00:08,250 Now taking virtualization a step further you as a small medium business don't have the buying capacity 2 00:00:08,610 --> 00:00:18,000 of a huge company such as Wal-Mart or Target large companies spending large amounts of money can negotiate 3 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,380 prices that small medium businesses cannot. 4 00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:29,340 And that's not only true for retailing it's also true for service companies such as Amazon Microsoft 5 00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:37,380 and Google can buy hardware a lot cheaper than small medium businesses or enterprises can. 6 00:00:37,380 --> 00:00:44,220 In the past Amazon was buying so much hardware but not utilizing it all the time but buying it in preparation 7 00:00:44,220 --> 00:00:54,030 for the demand that they would have for sales at Amazon dot com that they started selling time on their 8 00:00:54,030 --> 00:00:55,150 hardware. 9 00:00:55,290 --> 00:00:57,910 And this is where cloud computing started. 10 00:00:57,990 --> 00:01:04,270 Amazon allow you to leverage their physical infrastructure to run virtual machines. 11 00:01:04,290 --> 00:01:10,920 Amazon isn't your only choice today we also have Microsoft Azure as well as Google Cloud. 12 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,000 But all of these work on a similar premise. 13 00:01:14,130 --> 00:01:15,240 You can run 14 00:01:18,140 --> 00:01:25,590 servers on their infrastructure at prices that are much lower than you could buy. 15 00:01:25,670 --> 00:01:32,700 In other words if you wanted to run a small virtual machine you can actually run it for free on Amazon 16 00:01:32,700 --> 00:01:39,990 today or you can run it at such a low price that it makes more sense to run your infrastructure in the 17 00:01:39,990 --> 00:01:45,660 cloud rather than trying to buy hardware and maintained that hardware. 18 00:01:45,660 --> 00:01:53,820 If you're buying servers you need to provide power cooling and other resources to maintain those servers. 19 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,660 So why not just run your servers in the cloud. 20 00:01:57,660 --> 00:02:00,500 Amazon already have that infrastructure in place. 21 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,540 So do Microsoft and Google. 22 00:02:02,730 --> 00:02:10,680 They are paying so much less than you for hardware such as CPE use and disk space that it makes more 23 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,550 sense for you to just leverage their hardware. 24 00:02:14,250 --> 00:02:22,590 That's what companies such as Dropbox and many others do they have in the past or currently run on top 25 00:02:22,590 --> 00:02:23,930 of Amazon. 26 00:02:23,970 --> 00:02:32,070 So in other words when you store files in Dropbox those files are stored on Amazon's storage and are 27 00:02:32,070 --> 00:02:34,620 processed by Amazon servers. 28 00:02:34,620 --> 00:02:42,870 Dropbox has recently changed that but a lot of startups like Dropbox use Amazon to provide the infrastructure 29 00:02:42,900 --> 00:02:47,880 to their businesses and the whole idea here is cost. 30 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:54,100 You can spin up virtual machines very quickly and you can pay for the demand. 31 00:02:54,150 --> 00:03:00,350 So in other words if there's a spike in traffic you simply pay for the extra resources that you're using. 32 00:03:00,390 --> 00:03:07,710 You don't have to try and buy physical servers get them shipped physically install them rack them power 33 00:03:07,710 --> 00:03:16,260 them and so forth you can on the fly use the resources available in the cloud so in this example I'll 34 00:03:16,260 --> 00:03:18,090 sign into Amazon 35 00:03:21,430 --> 00:03:26,200 and what I can do here as an example is launch a virtual machine which they say will take less than 36 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:26,620 a minute. 37 00:03:29,250 --> 00:03:31,300 So I could call this test 1 2 3 38 00:03:34,190 --> 00:03:43,630 I can decide which operating system I want to use as an example I'll select Ubuntu click Next I'm gonna 39 00:03:43,650 --> 00:03:53,590 go for a T2 micro server so I can see the amount of CPR you RAM and storage that to the server has noticed 40 00:03:53,620 --> 00:03:56,290 this is going to run free click Next 41 00:03:59,180 --> 00:04:07,020 I need to download a key pair to access that server but notice I can not create the instance and it's 42 00:04:07,020 --> 00:04:13,770 as simple as that for me to create a server and then I can connect to that server remotely and manage 43 00:04:13,770 --> 00:04:14,850 it. 44 00:04:14,850 --> 00:04:22,140 Notice I didn't have to purchase any hardware I didn't have to wait for the hardware to be shipped. 45 00:04:22,140 --> 00:04:29,010 I didn't have to rack the server I didn't have to power up the server I didn't have to configure a network 46 00:04:29,340 --> 00:04:34,920 I didn't have to configure storage I didn't have to install an operating system I didn't have to install 47 00:04:34,980 --> 00:04:36,110 applications. 48 00:04:36,180 --> 00:04:41,400 Those are all immediately available to me in a matter of minutes. 49 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:54,380 It's as simple as that to start up a virtual machine on Amazon so notice in this example I've got a 50 00:04:54,380 --> 00:04:58,190 virtual machine running called Test one two three. 51 00:04:58,250 --> 00:05:04,130 It's currently initializing but I've also got other servers running on Amazon. 52 00:05:04,340 --> 00:05:10,510 I can manage these servers remotely so I can shut them down I can power them up. 53 00:05:10,730 --> 00:05:16,180 So as an example here I've got USA 1 Live Labs dot com. 54 00:05:16,910 --> 00:05:24,030 So the server USA 1 Live Labs 3 dot com is actually running on an Amazon server. 55 00:05:24,110 --> 00:05:30,080 I'm not told that to my test one two three surveys completed and in a moment I'll be able to connect 56 00:05:30,140 --> 00:05:32,120 to that server. 57 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:40,310 But in this example I had my Live Labs server previously configured and as an example I could log in 58 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:46,760 to that live lab server and in this example I can connect to a remote lab 59 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:59,310 which is a physical switch running locally here in the UK but I'm actually connecting to this physical 60 00:05:59,310 --> 00:06:09,280 switch via my Amazon virtual machine running in the USA rather than me trying to setup a physical server 61 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:16,390 like I did here and I would have to install the physical server power it up and so forth. 62 00:06:16,390 --> 00:06:21,820 Then I would install the host operating system which in this case is E6 I and then I have to install 63 00:06:21,820 --> 00:06:29,000 my guest operating system and install the applications on that I can simply spin up a server on Amazon 64 00:06:29,420 --> 00:06:31,130 and connect to it remotely. 65 00:06:31,130 --> 00:06:34,540 The server is once again running in the USA. 66 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:39,000 I'm based in the UK but that's the advantage of cloud computing. 67 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:42,850 It doesn't necessarily matter where that server is based. 68 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,150 It's somewhere in the cloud. 69 00:06:45,230 --> 00:06:48,490 I don't know physically where that server is located. 70 00:06:48,590 --> 00:06:51,080 It's somewhere in the mid-west of the USA. 71 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:58,520 I'm in the UK but I can simply connect to it like I would connect it to any other server on the Internet. 72 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:02,660 Once again that's the power of cloud computing and the cloud. 73 00:07:02,660 --> 00:07:09,410 It's very quick and easy to spin up devices and leverage the infrastructure of cloud providers such 74 00:07:09,410 --> 00:07:12,650 as Amazon Microsoft Azure and Google.
