If you're talking general cloud services, Google still does plenty of that. Stadia was being turned into a specific streaming thing that's now also dead, but that's separate from the rest of their cloud stuff.

Cloud Services: Cloud service providers, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP), offer edge computing services that make it easier to deploy and manage edge computing devices. These services provide tools and platforms that simplify edge computing development and deployment, reducing the time and cost required to develop and deploy edge computing solutions.

These instruction will walk you through using Google Cloud "Free Tier" (https://cloud.google.com) as your VPS hosting provider. They are rated highly, with a very simple and slick interface. Although we'll be using the Free Tier, be warned that you will need to provide valid credit card information. (Of course, if you have a strong reason to use another provider, then by all means do so, but be sure to choose Ubuntu Server 20.04)

PAR 7 is one of the data camps Interxion has in France, and at the same time the newest. PAR7 is also known for its multiple collaboration with the largest cloud providers, such as Microsoft Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud.

If you haven't been living under a rock, you've probably heard of AWS. It is an abbreviation for Amazon Web Services. AWS (by Amazon) offers a wide range of cloud computing services, such as computing, storage, database, analytics, machine learning, networking, mobile, developer tools, security, and enterprise applications. for all of your requirements, eliminating the need for you to set up your own servers. It provides a flexible and scalable infrastructure that can be tailored to each user's unique requirements, and it is widely regarded as one of the leading cloud platforms available today. Google Cloud (by Google) and Azure (by Microsoft) are both major competitors to AWS.

Netlify and Vercel are multi-cloud platforms, meaning they equally employ GCP and AWS for their infrastructure.

1) Create your Google account. If you're using a CC/VCC with a name set, I'd recommend you fill the Name and Surname fields with the ones on the CC. 2) Proceed to https://cloud.google.com and sign up for the 365 day trial. 3) Use your CC/VCC to set up the trial. No charges to your CC/VCC will be made. 4) Create a new VPS in Compute Engine => VM Instances. 5) Done! You now have a free VPS. You can set any configuration and location you'd like. Can be used again only when the old account's trial expires.

Refer to the official documentation for the Helm chart for comprehensive instructions and configuration options: OpenTelemetry Helm Charts Documentation.

In my latest Nomadification Project (TM), I got the OpenTelemetry Demo App to run on Nomad (with HashiQube, of course). To do this, I used the OpenTelemetry Demo App Helm Chart as my guide. In doing this, and other Nomadifications, I realized that I’ve never gone through the process of explaining the conversion process from Kubernetes manifests to Nomad jobspecs.

Y’all...I’m so excited, because I finally got to work on an item on my tech bucket list. Last week, I began the process of translating OpenTelemetry (OTel) Demo App’s Helm Charts to HashiCorp Nomad job specs.

After creating a Kubernetes cluster, we needed to create a Kubernetes resource before we could apply the Helm chart to install the OpenTelemetry demo app. The Demo App’s Helm Chart deploys an OpenTelemetry Collector. We wanted to configure the Collector to send OTel data to Lightstep. To do so, you need to add a Lightstep Access Token, which is stored as a Kubernetes secret.

Deploy the OpenTelemetry Demo App using the OpenTelemetry Demo Helm Chart

Now let's dive right in and figure out how to use the Helm chart provided by OpenTelemetry.
