Our entire testing pipeline is looking pretty good.
So now going to start to move on to the deployment of our application.
The first thing have to do to deploy our application is choose a hosting provider and create a new Cuban
enties cluster.
So we need to take a look at some of different providers that are available, evaluate them and eventually
create a cluster itself.
Before we discuss these providers at all, I do want to mention that a credit card is going to be required
to move forward with one of these hosting providers.
Every single one of them requires you to enter a credit card in order to run any kind of workload.
You will need a credit card, without a doubt, until we're going to have to pay about a dollar or so
to get a domain.
We're also going to run or cost about seventy two cents.
Notice that is sense right there.
It is not seventy two dollars per day to run the cluster itself.
Now, for the provider that we are going to use, you can't find coupon codes online.
And these coupon codes are generally worth about 60 or 100 dollars or so.
So at the end of the day, if you create a new account with a provider that we're going to use and you
find a coupon code for it, you should probably be able to walk out of this with only paying one dollar
for the domain name itself.
And technically, the domain name is somewhat optional.
If you do not get the domain name, you will not be able to load up our application side the browser,
but you will be able to at least deploy it and verify that it is online and running.
You just want people to access it in the browser.
OK.
So with all that mind, let's take a look at some of the different hosting providers.
We are going to have access to.
So we're going to very briefly discuss four different providers on each of these providers.
I really just have two metrics.
The first is the cost to use this provider.
And the cost for each of these and is in terms of month and for each month, I'm assuming that we have
three individual nodes inside of our cluster.
So three virtual machines and that each of those has two gigabytes of RAM and about one C.P.U.
Some of these providers also have some extra costs associated with them.
And so wherever possible.
I included or lumped in some of those costs.
And some of these providers as well, there is no option to get a VM with two gigabytes of RAM and one
C.P.U.
So I just did my best to kind of round out and figure out something kind of equivalent.
What I'm trying to say here is that you should not use the exact numbers I've quoted in each of these
as gospel or the exact value.
Instead, they are kind of very rough estimates on what we might possibly end up paying.
So that might.
Let's take a look at our four hosting providers.
The four big names out there right now are Digital Ocean.
Eight of us, Google Cloud and Azour.
Reach these, you can see very easily that digital ocean by far leads on price and eight of us.
Cloud are way more expensive.
The reason for that is that eight of us in Google Cloud charge you money just to run a Cuban Nettie's
cluster without any virtual machines inside of it.
So remember, whenever we run communities, we have what is called the master node or the control plane,
as it's also referred to.
This is a process that evaluates and watches your cluster and make sure that it is doing everything
correctly.
It monitors all the different pods, creates pods, radar services, all that kind of good stuff.
Eight of us in Google Cloud make you pay money just for that control plane.
In total, it is one cent per hour.
And that actually really adds up very quickly.
One cent per hour.
Let's do the math here.
So one cent or something?
Not once and 10 cents.
So point one dollars.
Finds 24 hours in the day.
Times, 30 days.
That is seventy two dollars a month that you are paying just to make use of eight of us or a Google
cloud.
That's a lot of money.
And that's why it's so much more expensive to make use of eight of us or Google Cloud for a very small,
very simple Cuban Nettie's cluster.
Now, personally, I would like to use Google Cloud because it's pretty darn easy to use the UI is fantastic.
Monitoring is really easy.
And so on.
What is a little bit more expensive.
And we've kind of already touched on Google Cloud earlier on inside this course.
So we're going to throw that out as an option.
I also want to mention Azour over here really quickly.
Not to be totally honest with you, I have not used Cuba Nettie's with ASA before, so I can't really
give you a great opinion.
I have had some great experiences with Azour in the past with non Cuban Nettie's deployments.
Nonetheless, I don't really have professional experience with it.
So to be honest, we're not going.
He's inside this course because I can't really do a good job of explaining the pros and cons of it.
That really leaves Digital Ocean and A.W. us now from the colors I have here.
I bet you can guess which one we're going to use.
We're going to use digital ocean.
I know that many people taken this course would love to see a W.S..
Trust me.
I know.
I know you want to see eight of us with Cuban Nettie's.
But let me just be really, really honest with you.
This very well might be the first time that you are deploying something with Cuba Nettie's.
And if you are just getting started.
Cuban 80s eight of us is almost definitely the worst possible deployment provider out there, almost
without a doubt.
With eight of us, there is an incredible number of options.
There's an incredible number of setup steps.
There are an incredible number of setup screens, a ton of UI, a ton of settings.
All of it is extremely mysterious and all the documentation is rather poor.
In addition, they also provide a community is offering that is kind of tangled quite a bit with another
product they offer called Eight of US Freegate.
And Understanding what Fargo does is its own challenge in its own right.
So if you are getting started with Cuban Eddys and deployment, I got to be honest with you.
Eighty US is a really, really bad decision.
And I really recommend you try out an easier provider first just to understand the general process and
then you can go and take a shot at eight of us.
So that is my opinion on eight of us.
I'm sure there are people out there who disagree with me.
Maybe they say, hey, learn the hardest thing first or something like that.
But my opinion is NWS is just a very bad place to get started with Cuba Nettie's.
So as you can imagine.
Yep, digital ocean.
That's what we're going to use.
It is by far the cheapest.
It's also extremely easy to use.
Extremely easy.
At some level, you're not even going to realize that we are running anything with digital ocean.
It's going to feel like you're just accessing a company's lustre on your local machine.
That's how easy it is going to end up being.
Because we're going to use digital ocean.
Let's go over to the Web site right now.
We're going to make sure that you have an account and you get signed up for one hook up billing and
all that kind of stuff.
So instead of a new browser tab going to navigate judicial ocean dot com.
And go ahead and sign up before you sign up.
If you want to do it, you can do a quick Google search for something like digital ocean coupon code.
And you probably are going to be all to find a hundred dollar coupon code that essentially gives you
one hundred dollars of credit.
With Digital Ocean.
So if you want to pass a video, go and find a coupon code like that, click on it and then sign up
for an account through that coupon.
Otherwise, if you already have an account or if you just don't care about a coupon code, just go and
create accounts and eventually.
Well, we want to see is the main landing dashboard, which is going to look a little something like
this, you might see a whole bunch of welcome screen or something like that.
Basically, just make sure you create an account and get signed in as you sign in.
You might be prompted to enter some billing information.
And if you are.
Make sure you enter your credit card number in order to run our cluster.
You will need a credit card associated with your accounts.
So go ahead.
Do that sign up process.
We're going to pause right here.
And hopefully, if by the start of the next video, you'll end up at a screen somewhat similar to this
right here.
So I'll see you in just a minute.
