So let’s start from the story why I used kubernetes for the deployment of my BE and FE application.
Basically the application what I’ve been working on was deployed in the Virtual machine. I can say now that it was really like an old-fashioned way to service to the public, as the VM based deployment cannot auto scale its resource size by the traffic amount.
Honestly, I don’t feel any uncomfortable,
and there hasn’t been a moment where I need to contemplate more efficient resource management either. But then, everything changed after discovering regulatory strategies at the cloud & AI conference.
Let’s say that you’re using the Azure portal or AWS.
You definitely need to choose the size or version of hardware which will be applied to your virtual environment. And that exactly means, you’re limiting yourself from auto-scaling the resource size, and choosing the way to manually scale it up and down by the amount of usage.
Someone might say that is not like a big deal for him or she.
But, what if your expenses for launching VM is getting higher and higher stemming from the ESG related regulation?
Now the amount of energy consumption in Cloud industry surpassed the amount of airline industry.
And an industry starts burning through energy excessively, efforts to regulate it quickly gain momentum like always.
“EU government already has started regulating the cloud usage”
When I went to the Cloud & AI conference which was held in Deutschland at the end of last year, one of the biggest topic was about the regulation of Cloud usage. While it is not accurate to say that everything starts in Europe, it is evident that such developments will undoubtedly have an impact on the Asian and US regions as well.
I hope you found that, in general, the testing and implementation of international policies tend to kick off in the European region.
This story might sounds like little over-weighted for someone to be on the track of thinking, how to and why they need to effectively manage their computing resources.
But, at least for me,
these policy regulations and environmental concerns have sparked motivation and curiosity in exploring ways to adopt methods for more efficient cloud resource management
And I believe that when motivation accompanies the purpose in using any technology, it creates even greater synergy.
I’ll break down how cloud resources get distributed and highlight the advantages that come with the structure of Kubernetes.
All the details about deployment will be served in pt 3.
