Data Science Model Deployments and Cloud Computing on GCP - Computer Hardware

The video tutorial explains the core components of computer hardware: processor, memory (RAM), and storage (hard drive). It details how these components affect computer speed and performance. The processor is likened to a chef, while memory is the prep area, and storage is where ingredients are kept. The video also compares hard disk drives (HDD) and solid-state drives (SSD), highlighting the speed advantages of SSDs. Finally, it discusses how these hardware components influence decisions in cloud computing.

Which components are considered core to understanding cloud computing?

• Operating System, Software, and Applications

• Keyboard, Mouse, and Printer

• Graphics Card, Sound Card, and Monitor

• Processor, RAM, and Hard Drive

What is the primary function of a computer's processor?

• To manage network connections

• To store data permanently

• To execute commands and process code

• To display graphics on the screen

How is RAM similar to a kitchen's counter space?

• It cleans up data like a dishwasher

• It provides a workspace for preparing tasks

• It processes data like a chef

• It stores data permanently like a pantry

What is a key difference between HDD and SSD?

• HDDs are more expensive than SSDs

• SSDs have less storage capacity than HDDs

• SSDs are slower than HDDs

• HDDs use mechanical parts, SSDs do not

Why are solid-state drives considered faster than hard disk drives?

• They use mechanical arms to read data

• They are larger in physical size

• They operate electronically without moving parts

• They have more storage capacity
