Study Notes
Operating Systems
- Definition: Software that manages hardware resources and services for computer programs.
- Functions: Memory management, process scheduling, input/output handling.
- Types: Single-user, multi-user, real-time, distributed.
Containerization
- Containers: Lightweight, portable application units with dependencies.
- Consistency: Consistent environments across different systems.
- Runtime: Software for executing and managing containers (e.g., Docker).
- Images: Read-only templates that include application code and dependencies.
Virtualization
- Hypervisor: Layer enabling multiple virtual machines (VMs) on a single physical machine.
- Virtual Machines (VMs): Emulated computers running operating systems and applications.
Distributed Systems
- Model: Components on networked computers communicate and coordinate through messages.
- Key Concepts: Scalability, reliability, resource management.
- Microservices: Application structured as a collection of loosely coupled services.
Infrastructure
- Definition: Underlying physical and virtual resources supporting applications and services (e.g., servers, storage, networking).
- Management: Overseeing deployment, scaling, and maintenance of infrastructure components.
Automation and Scripting
- Importance: Streamlining processes, managing configurations, and deploying applications.
- Tools: Scripting languages (e.g., shell scripting).
Networking
- Protocols: Rules governing data communication over networks.
- Essential for distributed systems and cloud computing.
- Key Components: Cabling standards, line coding standards, such as Ethernet (Cat5 cables) and 802.11 (Wi-Fi). Protocols: MAC address, switches, Network Layer.
TCP/IP Model
- Framework for network communication.
- Layers: Application, Transport, Network, Data Link, Physical.
- Key Protocols: HTTP, FTP, TCP, UDP, DNS.
Networking Protocols (e.g., Routers, Multicast, Autonomous Systems)
- Routing: Determining the best paths for data packets using routing tables.
- Low-Level Protocols: Ethernet and WiFi.
- Address Resolution Protocol (ARP): Mapping IP addresses to MAC addresses.
- Domain Name System (DNS): Translating human-readable domain names to IP addresses.
- HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP): Client-server protocol for transferring web pages.
- Multicast: Sending data from one sender to multiple receivers simultaneously.
- Routing Protocols: RIP, OSPF, for finding optimal data paths.
- Autonomous System (AS): Large networks under a single administrative control.
Apache Kafka
- Distributed event streaming platform for high throughput and fault-tolerance.
Kubernetes
- Container orchestration platform for automating the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications.
- Key Components: Pods, deployments, services, config maps, secrets, scheduled tasks.
File Systems
- Types: NTFS, FAT32, EXT4, APFS.
- Data Management: inodes, metadata, storage devices.
- Performance and Optimization: Caching, fragmentation, backup and recovery.
Protocol Stacks (e.g., WebRTC, RTP, RTCP)
- WebRTC: Enables real-time audio, video, and data sharing.
- Key Protocols: RTP, RTCP, STUN, TURN.
- Video on Demand Protocols: Protocols for delivering video content over the internet.
Storage Units
- Types: Primary (RAM), Secondary (HDDs, SSDs).
- Functionality: Data storage technologies with varying characteristics (speeds and capacities).
Security
- Key Points: Protecting systems against unauthorized access, ensuring confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
- Tactics: Detection of attacks, monitoring for unauthorized access.
Performance
- Key Points: System's ability to meet timing requirements and operate efficiently.
- Tactics: Minimizing resource demand, limiting response time.
Energy Efficiency
- Key Points: Optimizing resource usage to reduce energy consumption.
- Tactics: Monitoring and metering energy consumption, optimization techniques.
Modifiability
- Key Points: Ease of changing and implementing or adding new functionalities.
- Tactics: Increasing cohesion, splitting modules, reducing coupling.
