Understanding Cloud Infrastructure

Cloud infrastructure tools help organizations plan, deploy, and optimize their cloud resources across AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure. These calculators provide data-driven insights for capacity planning, cost optimization, and performance tuning.

Key Cloud Concepts

Compute Resources

Virtual machines (instances) are the fundamental compute unit in cloud platforms. Each instance type offers different combinations of vCPU, memory, storage, and network performance. Choosing the right instance type balances performance needs with cost efficiency.

Storage Classes

Cloud providers offer multiple storage tiers optimized for different access patterns:

  • Standard: Frequent access, low latency, higher cost
  • Infrequent Access: Occasional access, lower cost
  • Archive: Long-term storage, lowest cost, higher retrieval fees

Network Latency

Latency is the time it takes for data to travel between two points. It's affected by geographic distance, network quality, and routing. Lower latency improves user experience and application performance.

CIDR Notation

Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) is a method for allocating IP addresses and routing. CIDR notation (e.g., 10.0.0.0/16) specifies an IP address range, with the number after the slash indicating the network prefix length.

Container Resource Management

Kubernetes uses resource requests and limits to manage container resources:

  • Requests: Guaranteed resources reserved for the container
  • Limits: Maximum resources the container can use

Load Balancer Capacity Units (LCU)

AWS Application Load Balancers charge based on LCUs, which measure the following dimensions:

  • New connections per second
  • Active connections per minute
  • Processed bytes (bandwidth)
  • Rule evaluations

CDN Cache Hit Ratio

The cache hit ratio is the percentage of requests served from CDN cache rather than the origin server. A higher hit ratio reduces origin load, improves response times, and lowers bandwidth costs.

Cloud Pricing Models

  • On-Demand: Pay per hour/second, no commitment, most expensive
  • Reserved: 1-3 year commitment, 30-70% discount
  • Spot: Spare capacity, up to 90% discount, can be interrupted
Cost Optimization Tips
