Serverless Architecture: What Are the Benefits and Challenges?
Before cloud computing became mainstream, development teams maintained their own server hardware and took care of their own software and security updates. This was time-consuming, cumbersome, and expensive.
But, thanks to the advent of cloud computing and serverless computing facilitated by third-party companies, development teams are able to build and run their services without having to worry about the infrastructure supporting this activity.

VMware vSphere Review: Software Features & Price
What Is VMware vSphere 7?
VMware vSphere is a hardware virtualization solution that allows system administrators to install and configure multiple virtual instances on a single host. Multiple virtual instances can be created with the help of a virtualization layer called a hypervisor.
A hypervisor abstracts the underlying hardware from the host and allocates it to the virtual instances called virtual machines (VMs). VMware introduced several...
Best Free and Open Source NAS Solutions
Network-attached storage (NAS) solutions have long been a valuable way for networks to store, organize, and migrate data securely. Luckily, there are plenty of free and open source solutions to consider.
While enterprise-grade NAS solutions often provide clients with the hardware and software needed to deploy network-attached storage, open source offerings allow anyone with the appropriate hardware to download, install, and configure NAS software.
Long after...
AWS EC2 vs Azure: Cloud Services Comparison
Amazon and Microsoft are two giants of the cloud. As such, their cloud compute offerings often go head to head. But it can be difficult to decide which is best between Amazon Web Services (AWS) EC2 and Microsoft Azure VM for cloud computing services and virtualization.
What Is AWS EC2?
AWS contains a great many elements, components, and supporting systems within its overall ecosystem. Of its...
ECS vs EC2: What Are the Differences Between Amazon ECS and EC2?
Amazon Web Services (AWS) contains a great many elements, components, and supporting systems within its overall ecosystem. AWS Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) is a web-based service. It provides scalable computing power on AWS, whereas AWS Elastic Container Service (ECS) is a container orchestration service. To explain ECS vs EC2 briefly, Amazon ECS is a good way to run containers inside Amazon EC2 instances.
However, due...
What Is Amazon ECS? Amazon Elastic Container Service
Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) is a highly scalable and speedy container management service that allows virtual environments to run, stop, and manage containers on Amazon Web Services (AWS).
In this article, we discuss Amazon ECS and what it is used for, as well as some of its benefits and features.

What Is Azure VM? Windows Virtual Machine
A virtual machine (VM) is simply a digital version of a physical computer. As a virtualized instance of a computer, a virtual machine can execute almost all tasks a physical computer can, including running operating systems and applications.
Azure Virtual Machines are scalable, on-demand computing resources offered by Microsoft. In this article, we discuss Azure Virtual Machines and their features as well as some use...
vCenter vs vSphere vs ESXi: Comparing VMware Virtualization
VMware vSphere is VMware's virtualization platform, and vCenter and ESXi are both important components of vSphere. VMware vSphere, vCenter, and ESXi were initialized as different technologies for different purposes, but now they're combined into the vSphere platform. In this article, we discuss vSphere, vCenter Server, ESXi, and the differences between them.
