What is vCPU in cloud environment?
In: Technology
Well little Johnny, let me try to explain it to you.
You know how your parents have this playing mat? Let’s call that the CPU of the cloud server. It’s a very, very big mat, and most likely you won’t need the whole mat.
So when you want to build up your racing track, you get a little corner to play on, all nicely bordered up. For you and your racing track this is the whole mat. That’s the vCpu, the virtual CPU. Your racing track has no idea that there is more mat available, he only sees the mat withing the borders.
And here’s the part where cloud computing gets interesting. Your brother Allan has a very big corner next to you, but he only uses a ver small part of it. So your parents decided that a piece of the mat can be used by both of you. Without telling you obviously. And as long as you both don’t use your whole alloted space, this will work out perfectly.
I hope you this helps you kid.
