What CNM Farms Are

CNM Cyber

What CNM Farms Are (hereinafter, the Lectio) is the lesson part of the CNM Farm Essentials lesson that introduces its participants to CNM Cloud. This lesson belongs to the Introduction to CNM Cloud session of the CNM Cyber Orientation.

Content

The predecessor lectio is Microservices at Cloud.

Key terms

CNM Farms. The combination of computing servers that host CNM Cloud, as well as those parts of the cloud that are provisioned to run serverless systems.

• WorldOpp Federated Farm. The computing server that hosts the software applications that WorldOpp Middleware powers. The CNM Cloud Next is one of the CNM Farms.
• CNM Cloud Next. The computing server that hosts those non-federated end-user applications of CNM Cyber that the CNM Cyber Team administers. The Server is located at the 167.71.244.79 IP address. The CNM Cloud Next are ones of the CNM Farms. Another server, the CNM EndUser Farm, hosts the set of CNM apps that is identical to CNM Cloud Next' set.
• CNM HandsOn Farm. The computing server of CNM Farms that the CNM Cyber Team administers.
• CNM EndUser Farm. The computing server that hosts those non-federated end-user applications of CNM Cyber that the WorldOpp Fellow Staff administers. The Server is located at the 159.89.230.212 IP address. The CNM EndUser Farm is one of the CNM Farms. Another server, the CNM Cloud Next, host the set of CNM apps that is identical to Fellow Server's set. The difference is that Fellow Server's apps are used for career services, while Next Server's ones are used for hands-on training.

Script

The CNM Farms provide functionality for both CNM apps and WorldOpp Middleware.

If we imagine that CNM apps are people, we may treat the CNM Farms as their homes. The cloud infrastructure would serve as the roofs and walls, web servers would serve as the mailboxs, operating systems would be the switches and valves, support for programming language would be its water and sewage infrastructure, and database management systems would be the storage.

The core of CNM Farms is computing servers and container engines.

In information technology, a computing server is any resource that provides functionality for software applications. Some applications are setup within software containers. They are supported by container engines of CNM Farms.

Four farms serve different purposes.

First, the WorldOpp Federated Farm hosts WorldOpp Middleware and CNM Cabin.

The CNM HandsOn Apps are installed on CNM HandsOn Farm, so are the CNM EndUser Apps on CNM EndUser Farm.

Finally, computing servers and container engines of CNM Cloud Next host the CNM Next Apps; since the CNM Cyber Team uses this part of the Farms in experiments, the architecture of the servers and engines is flexible.

Databases of CNM Cloud is the successor lectio.
