About Broadcast Standards – Cloud Compute Infrastructure

Our first new Broadcast Standards theme explores the frequently mis-described concept of ‘cloud computing’, the microservices that run in this IT model, and some of the practical implications of deploying them within broadcast production infrastructure. Although the NMOS standards were devised to facilitate ST 2110 infrastructure they have also become central to the deployment of cloud compute infrastructure so they too are included in Part 2 of this series.

It is surprising but true that cloud computing is not based on ratified standards - it is based on open source and de-facto protocols and practices. It is however very well defined because the broadcast industry is leveraging IT technology that is widely deployed as part of the technology fabric on which society functions. These articles therefore describe the established protocols and practices that define cloud compute resource and how these relate to broadcast specific and other ratified standards.

‘Broadcast Standards – Cloud Compute’ will publish in two parts – details of both Parts can be found HERE.

About Part 1.

Part 1 is a free PDF download which contains three, extended length original articles:

Article 1 : The Principles, Terminology & Structure Of Cloud Compute Based Systems
Here we outline the principles, advantages, and various deployment models for cloud compute infrastructure, along with the taxonomy of cloud compute service providers and the relevant regulatory frameworks.

Article 2 : Kubernetes & The Architecture Of Cloud Compute Based Systems
Here we describe Kubernetes and the taxonomy of containerized architecture based cloud compute system designs it manages.

Article 3 : Timing Systems In Cloud Compute Infrastructure
Timing domains & reference sources in cloud compute infrastructure and new non-linear timing infrastructure proposals.
