The Basics of End-to-End Cloud Media Production

摘要

A paradigm shift in media-production technologies is changing how the cloud is perceived, used, presented and applied to media production. The lines between ground-based and cloud-based media production are becoming blurred. One of the first steps in getting to a cloud-based production environment is understanding how the requirements and the components differ; and those physical hard interfaces are being replaced by topics like dashboards and virtu-alized desktops. We start with cloud computing, an application-based solution known also as an "infrastructure in the cloud." Cloud computing is divided into a front-end part and a back-end part. To the user, these details don't need to be thoroughly understood—but it is helpful to know that the end-to-end ecosystem is changing so that acceptability of these differences can be evaluated and adopted.
