Introduction
|
The cloud provides on-demand access to infinite computational resources
Resources need to be carefully managed, because charges are usually tied to how long resources are held
The cloud is great for bursty, high-volume computing, or for some small services you might want to run
|
|
Storing data in the cloud
|
AWS is low-cost, feature rich, has widest use
At a high level you want to know about EC2, S3 and IAM
|
|
Doing computations in the cloud
|
Anything you can do with your desktop (almost), you can do with your cloud machine
For interactive stuff, you can set up Jupyter to run on that machine
