About Broadcast Standards – Cloud Compute Infrastructure

The 10 original articles in the Broadcast Standards – Cloud Compute Infrastructure theme explore 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. Because we are approaching this theme from a practical perspective this series also include a section on NMOS.

It is surprising but true that cloud computing is mostly 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 human 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 three parts – details of all 3 Parts can be found HERE.

About Part 2.

Part 2 is a free PDF download which contains four, extended length original articles:

Article 1 : Microservices Functionality, Routing, API’s & Analytics
Here we delve into the inner workings of microservices and how to deploy & manage them. We look at their pros and cons, the role of DevOps, Event Bus architecture, the role of API’s and the elevated need for logging.

Article 2 : Cloud Compute Workflow Pipelines
This is a detailed exploration of system & workflow principles, storage systems, queue management, how microservices enable active workflow designs, and using node graph systems to create a friendly UI.

Article 3 : The Power Of Microservices & Cloud-Native Architecture With AWS & NVIDIA
How broadcast and live production workflows are being transformed by public cloud compute infrastructures, flexible microservices architecture and AI innovation.

Article 4 : The NMOS Standards Deep Dive
An introduction to and summary of the NMOS standards. Although they were originally created to supplement ST 2110 architectures, NMOS standards are becoming increasingly relevant in practical implementations of software defined infrastructure.
