What is a Cloud Server?

-

Cloud Sever 

Cloud-based software, also known as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), is a type of software hosted, maintained, and delivered over the internet by a cloud service provider. Instead of being installed on individual computers or local servers, cloud-based software runs on remote servers owned and managed by the provider, accessible to users via the internet.

Characteristics of Cloud Servers

Virtualized: Cloud servers are virtual machines running on a physical server, but multiple cloud servers can exist on a single physical machine.

On-Demand Scalability: They offer scalability, allowing users to easily scale resources up or down based on demand.

Resource Pooling: Resources like CPU, RAM, and storage are pooled together in a cloud environment, allowing flexible allocation.

Pay-Per-Use Model: Cloud servers often follow a pay-as-you-go model, where users pay for the resources they consume.

Advantages:

Scalability: Easily adjust resources to accommodate changing needs.
Cost-Efficiency: Pay only for what you use, avoiding upfront hardware costs.
Reliability: Built-in redundancy and backup systems enhance reliability.
Accessibility: Accessible from anywhere with an internet connection.
Quick Deployment: Setting up a cloud server is generally faster compared to physical servers.

How to push changes to Git Hub using the command line?

Go to the web page for your GitHub repository, and note the URL.  Open  Bash  on Windows. (If you're using Linux or Mac, open  Terminal .)  Use the  cd  command to switch to the directory you want to use to work on your project locally. Enter  git clone [URL of your repository]  to copy your repository to your local machine. Use the  cd  command to go into your repository directory. You'll know you're in the right place if your new command line ends with the name of the main branch of your repository. For example, the name of my main branch is "main," so  (main)  appears at the end of my command line. Once you've added your files to your directory and are ready to push to GitHub, in your  Bash  window, enter  git add .  to select all the files in your repository.  Enter  git commit -m "[commit message]"  to save the changes to your local repository. You can enter anything for the commit m...

About pushing changes to GitHub When you push changes, you send the committed changes in your local repository to the remote repository on GitHub. If you change your project locally and want other people to have access to the changes, you must push the changes to GitHub. Before pushing changes, you should update your local branch to include any commits that have been added to the remote repository. If someone has made commits on the remote that are not on your local branch, GitHub Desktop will prompt you to fetch the new commits before pushing your changes to avoid merge conflicts. To push your local changes to the remote repository, in the repository bar, click  Push origin . If there are commits on the remote branch that you don't have on your local branch, GitHub Desktop prompts you to fetch new commits from the remote. In the "New Commits on Remote" window, click  Fetch . Optionally, click  Preview Pull Request  to open a preview dialog w...

What is CI, CD & CT?

CI/CD is an important  DevOps practice , i ntroducing a CI/CD pipeline into our software development lifecycle allows us to efficiently  implement automation  and monitor code changes, new features, potential bug fixes, and more. CI/CD typically refers to continuous integration and continuous delivery, but the “CD” can also stand for continuous deployment. Continuous delivery and continuous deployment both refer to automating stages of the CI/CD pipeline, but continuous deployment goes a step further. The purpose of continuous delivery is to make it easy to deploy new code. What is continuous integration? CI involves merging code changes from developers into a shared repository, building and testing the code automatically, and alerting the team of any issues Continuous integration aims to reduce the amount of time and effort required to integrate code changes and ensure that the software is always in a stable and working state. This is achieved through several pra...
