RAID
RAID stands for Redundant Array of Independent Disks. It is a technology that combines multiple hard drives into a single logical unit for the purpose of data redundancy, performance improvement, or both. RAID provides fault tolerance, meaning that if one disk fails, the data can still be accessed from other disks in the array. There are several types of RAID configurations, including RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, and RAID 6, each with different levels of data redundancy and performance.
1.RAID 0 - also known as striping, it provides improved performance by dividing data across multiple disks, but has no redundancy and a higher risk of data loss if any of the disks fail.
2.RAID 1 - also known as mirroring, it provides redundancy by creating an exact copy of data on two disks, but with reduced capacity.
3.RAID 5 - it provides both performance and redundancy by distributing data and parity across multiple disks, allowing for the failure of one disk without losing data.
4.RAID 6 - it is similar to RAID 5, but with two sets of parity data to provide redundancy for two disk failures.
5.RAID 10 - it combines the benefits of RAID 0 and RAID 1 by striping data across multiple mirrored pairs of disks, providing both performance and redundancy.
Resource Group
A resource group is a logical container or grouping of related resources in cloud computing. It is a way to organize and manage resources in a cloud environment and is typically used in Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) models.A resource group can contain various types of resources such as virtual machines, storage accounts, networks, web applications, and databases. By grouping resources together, it makes it easier to manage and monitor the resources as a single entity. Resource groups can be used to:
1.Organize resources: Resource groups provide a way to organize resources based on their function, application, or environment. For example, a resource group can be created for a particular application that includes virtual machines, storage, and a web application.
2.Manage access and permissions: Resource groups provide a way to control access and permissions to resources. Users can be granted access to a resource group, and this access will automatically extend to all resources within the group.
3.Apply policies and tags: Resource groups enable the application of policies and tags to resources. This makes it easier to enforce governance, compliance, and security requirements across multiple resources.
4.Simplify billing: Resource groups make it easier to understand and manage billing for cloud resources. Users can view billing information for all resources within a resource group, which can simplify cost tracking and analysis.
Router
A router is a networking device that is responsible for forwarding data packets between computer networks. It acts as an intermediate destination for network traffic, forwarding data to its appropriate destination, based on the network addresses of the devices.
