What is
Cloud Server?What is
Normal Server?What is
something else?HINT: Don't try to re-invent terms and use words you don't understand, just describe shit like a human.
Virtual private server
Virtual dedicated server
vserver
Cloud server
Cloud virtual private server
Metal virtual private server
Instance
Virtual instance
And so on...
All this mumbo jumbo describe same crap.
I would guess OP meant to say:
Cloud = VPS
Normal = Bare Metal
?
Hello! @instaprahlad
In simple words:
If the website is hosted by a well-known cloud provider such as Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, or Microsoft Azure, then it's likely hosted on a cloud server.
If the website's IP address is a shared IP address or a dedicated IP address that is associated with a traditional hosting provider, then it's likely not hosted on a cloud server.

I would like to know about this too, do you mean if a server is 'virtualised'? Kinda like bare metal vs a hypervisor with VMs?
If you mean cloud = virtualized server/vps and normal server = a non virtualized bare metal server, then you use few commands to detect virtualisation of the server.
In Linux systems, you can use:
systemd-detect-virtIf it returns none then most probably the server is a bare metal dedicated server, if it returns something else like kvm, openvz etc. then it's probably an virtual server (vps/cloud).
but if you are using a shared hosting and want to check what server your provider is using then that's not possible to check.
on Linux you can use command "hostnamectl" and look at Virtualization.
Perhaps the op means what virtualization? As root
dmidecode -s system-product-name.Op may be asking about tarditional infrastructure and hyper converged infra
If it rains a lot on your server, it's probably hosted in the cloud.

welcome to your first post
The easier it is to build a k8s cluster on it the more cloud it is
To be or not to be, a server?
