Okay.
I could not wait to make this video for you.
One of the most amazing things I've ever seen in tech is this concept of serverless, compute, mind
blowing.
Let's head to the whiteboard.
Serverless computing.
What the heck is this all about?
Well, in a WAC it is their Lambda service that is one of their several serverless compute options.
Microsoft has these.
Google Cloud has these.
And the idea is, let's think about how we would traditionally build a solution.
We might have VM one, VM two, VM three.
Right.
And these are implementing some solution.
And we have this app on each of these.
And these apps are, you know, using the underlying VM to get stuff done, the compute power.
Well, we have to manage these VMs.
Sure.
I know IWC makes this incredibly simple with they're easy to service.
But wait a minute, we're still managing VMs when all we really need is the compute power.
I mean, my goodness, why don't we just build the app and have it go when it needs compute power into
a pool of available compute power?
Yeah, you guessed it.
So serverless computing is available now.
You can have the CPU resources that you need without having to manage virtual machines.
And we can charge or we can charge a WFC can charge on the microseconds of usage.
So this can be an incredible cost savings over managing VMs.
I just remembered something, you know, these Amazon Echo devices with their built in technology.
I can't say your name right now.
Yeah, because obviously the device over there would start talking to me.
But you get the idea this Amazon Echo technology.
This is obviously powered by this.
Of course, they're not spinning up virtual machines to host these services all over the globe.
Hell, no.
When you ask the Amazon Echo a question, it will translate that into speech and do everything it needs
to do and get you the answer out of a serverless compute pool of resources.
This is part of the future again.
Isn't it amazing?
We used to be all super stoked about virtual machines and now they look legacy and stupid compared to
container technology.
And if you want to go even further than container technology, you start doing serverless compute.
You don't even have to worry about container management and stuff like that.
So obviously you can run a container environment and have it draw upon serverless compute.
That's another interesting thing.
So you may have VMs and you may have resources in the VMs that are reaching out to the serverless compute.
Look, there is no shortage of design ideas and capabilities when it comes to cloud computing in our
modern world.
Thanks so much for watching.
