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

  1. 01Cloud concepts and tools overview
  2. 02Roles in cloud computing
  3. 03Traditional VPS vs. hyperscalers vs. NeoClouds
  4. 04Case study: Minecraft server on OVHCloud
  5. 05Case study: Personal dev machine on OVHCloud
  6. 06Case study: University application on AWS/GCP
  7. 07Estimating costs and designing architectures
  8. 08Learning 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.
