Data Science Model Deployments and Cloud Computing on GCP - Introduction-GCP - Cloud Computing

This video tutorial introduces core cloud computing concepts essential for beginners. It covers scalability, including vertical and horizontal scaling, and compares serverless and in-server computing models. The tutorial also explains containerization with Docker, microservices, and microservice architecture. Finally, it discusses event-driven architecture in modern cloud environments, applicable across various cloud service providers.

What is the primary benefit of understanding core cloud concepts before engaging in lab sessions?

• It helps in passing certification exams.

• It ensures a better understanding of Google Cloud specifically.

• It provides a foundation applicable to all cloud service providers.

• It allows skipping the lab sessions entirely.

Which type of scaling involves adding more resources to an existing server?

• Cloud scaling

• Diagonal scaling

• Vertical scaling

• Horizontal scaling

What is a key characteristic of serverless computing?

• It is only available on Google Cloud.

• It is more expensive than in-server computing.

• It automatically scales with demand.

• It requires manual server management.

What is the primary function of Docker in cloud computing?

• To enhance vertical scaling

• To provide a platform for containerization

• To replace microservices

• To manage serverless functions

What is a defining feature of a microservice architecture?

• It relies heavily on vertical scaling.

• It is incompatible with event-driven architecture.

• Each service is independent and can be deployed separately.

• All services are tightly integrated.
