What is vCPU in cloud environment?
In: Technology
as the name suggests it is a “virtual” CPU.
the “cloud” server has a bunch of CPUs that can be allotted to the users “environments”.
since you usually have lots of CPUs on your server and lots of users using them, but most of them not using all their CPUs all the time, you can optimise by giving out more “virtual CPUs” to your users than you have physical ones, and the system where the server is on will just give the user “CPU space” whenever he/she requires it, instead of blocking an entire CPU for this user at all times.
