Kubernetes 101
Kubernetes is an open-source container orchestration platform that automates the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. It was first developed by Google and is now maintained by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). Kubernetes provides a platform for containerized applications to be deployed and managed in a scalable and reliable manner. In this guide,…

Edge computing
Edge computing is a paradigm that aims to bring computing resources closer to the end-users and devices, reducing latency and improving performance, reliability, and security of the applications and services. It enables real-time processing of data at the edge of the network, where the data is generated, rather than sending it to a centralized data…

What is High Performance Computing (HPC)?
High Performance Computing (HPC) refers to the use of supercomputers and parallel processing techniques to solve complex computational problems that are beyond the capabilities of a single computer. HPC systems use clusters of computers, connected by high-speed networks, to work together in parallel to perform very large computations. Applications of HPC include weather forecasting, molecular…

What is containerization?
Containerization is a technology in the field of Information Technology (IT) that allows you to package and isolate applications and their dependencies into lightweight, portable containers. This makes it possible to run multiple containers on the same host, each with its own isolated environment and resources, without affecting each other. Containers offer several advantages over…

What is hardware virtualization?
Hardware virtualization is a technology that enables multiple virtual machines (VMs) to run on a single physical server. Each virtual machine is isolated from the others and operates as if it were running on its own dedicated hardware, even though the underlying physical resources are shared among multiple VMs. This allows organizations to achieve better…
