| mattwj2002 | hi all | 06:31 |
|---|---|---|
| mattwj2002 | I got a question | 06:31 |
| mattwj2002 | what is a cloud and I am not talking about those white puffy things in the sky :P | 06:32 |
| mattwj2002 | is it basically a cluster computer? | 06:32 |
| flaccid | check wikipedia - Cloud Computing | 06:32 |
| mattwj2002 | okay | 06:32 |
| mattwj2002 | hmmm | 06:35 |
| mattwj2002 | clear as mud | 06:35 |
| mattwj2002 | well how about this | 06:37 |
| mattwj2002 | I am trying to understand what UEC is | 06:37 |
| mattwj2002 | flaccid: are you here/ | 06:41 |
| mattwj2002 | ? | 06:41 |
| flaccid | mattwj2002: http://www.ubuntu.com/cloud/private | 06:41 |
| mattwj2002 | so you could add and remove hardware or possibly virtual hardware from the cloud to a virtual application? | 06:43 |
| flaccid | sorry that doesn't make sense | 06:43 |
| mattwj2002 | no worries | 06:44 |
| mattwj2002 | okay | 06:44 |
| mattwj2002 | lets says you build a web server | 06:44 |
| mattwj2002 | but all of a sudden you find you need more power. If you had a cloud based web server, you could add more boxes to the cloud and have more processing power? | 06:46 |
| mattwj2002 | or remove if necessary? | 06:46 |
| flaccid | sure | 06:46 |
| flaccid | you can scale vertically or horizontally | 06:46 |
| mattwj2002 | nice :) | 06:46 |
| mattwj2002 | what I meant about virtually is if they are in vmware or something similar | 06:47 |
| flaccid | yes, vmware does vcloud | 06:47 |
| mattwj2002 | you could scale back | 06:47 |
| mattwj2002 | nice | 06:47 |
| flaccid | thats an example cloud | 06:47 |
| mattwj2002 | very cool *thumbs up* | 06:47 |
| flaccid | so you should read about what a private, public and hybrid cloud is | 06:48 |
| mattwj2002 | :) | 06:48 |
| mattwj2002 | it is similar to a cluster though | 06:48 |
| mattwj2002 | but I see the differences now | 06:48 |
| flaccid | see also, grid computing | 06:49 |
| mattwj2002 | okay | 06:50 |
| mattwj2002 | well actually soon I should go to bed | 06:50 |
| mattwj2002 | I am getting tired | 06:50 |
| mattwj2002 | :-s | 06:50 |
| mattwj2002 | good night | 06:59 |
| mattwj2002 | bye | 06:59 |
