Abstract
This talk walks through choosing cloud platforms for real workloads. It contrasts traditional VPS, hyperscalers, and NeoClouds. Three case studies show how to size and price servers for a Minecraft host, a personal dev machine, and a university application. The session also covers cloud roles, architecture diagrams, and free training resources.
Outline
- Cloud concepts and tools overview
- Roles in cloud computing
- Traditional VPS vs. hyperscalers vs. NeoClouds
- Case study: Minecraft server on OVHCloud
- Case study: Personal dev machine on OVHCloud
- Case study: University application on AWS/GCP
- Estimating costs and designing architectures
- Learning resources and certifications
Key takeaways
- Cloud choices split into VPS, hyperscalers, and NeoClouds with different trade-offs.
- A VPS gives root access and predictable pricing but requires manual scaling.
- Hyperscalers offer managed services and pay-as-you-go billing across global regions.
- NeoClouds provide GPU rentals by the hour for AI training and inference.
- Free credits and certifications are available to start building on major clouds.
