About

“Experimenting.Cloud” is a blog site exploring how to do various interesting and/or useful things with cloud computing infrastructure. “Cloud computing” in this context encompasses:
  • Private clouds: IT infrastructure running in a “traditional” on-premises data center, or in a hosting provider
  • Public clouds: IT infrastructure running in one of the major “hyperscalers” such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle Cloud, or Alibaba Cloud
  • Hybrid clouds: IT infrastructure that spans across both of the above categories
