I I just started using Google Colab for a project of mine. I see an button of "CONNECT" on the web page that presents before me two options:
Connect to Hosted Runtime
Connect to Local Runtime
Can anyone explain what the two mean and how it may affect my project? I did not find any useful documentation related to it.
Hosted Runtime runs on a new machine instance in Google Cloud. You don't need to set-up any hardware. But you may need to install a few libraries every time you use it.
Local Runtime runs on your machine at home. You need to install Python, Jupyter, and set-up some forwarding. It is useful if you have a lot of data to process locally, or if you have your own powerful GPU to use.
In most cases, I use Hosted Runtime.

I created a simple Vue.js application. I am trying to deploy it on Google compute engine(not app engine or any other), but I can't find any appropriate solution. Can anyone help me?
Have a look at App Engine. It'll be the easiest way to deploy your app without thinking about infrastructure management.
If you really want/need to use Compute Engine you should decide on your own which OS to use and then install and configure all the required software manually.
Meanwhile, I should mention Cloud Run as managed compute platform that automatically scales your stateless containers with your code.
Please update your question if you need more details.
Deployed using express server, Nginx and pm2.
Does anyone have any idea how this can be done?
It's my understanding that WebSphere 8.5 traditional is not compatible or will not run on OSX. I am looking for solutions for developers to develop with a WebSphere 8.5 traditional server locally.
Could we setup some servers on a windows machine so they can be used remotely during development?
I downloaded the Eclipse plugin but it gives me the warning saying OS X is not compatible with WebSphere traditional and to give it a remote server address. I tried to point eclipse to a server on a windows PC but it still wants a runtime installation directory.
I found a single thread on WASDev with a similar question talking about runtime stubs with a dead link.
I tried using a liberty server but I get nothing but null pointer exceptions and JMX errors, I don't think this is a valid alternative in my corporate environment.
For developing against WebSphere traditional on OSX, you could try Docker! We've published developer edition versions of 8.5.5.9 and 9.0.0.0, see:
https://developer.ibm.com/wasdev/blog/2016/06/15/websphere-traditional-ibm-http-server-docker-hub/
https://hub.docker.com/r/ibmcom/websphere-traditional/
The Dockerfiles used to produce these images are here, should you want to try building your own instead:
https://github.com/WASdev/ci.docker.websphere-traditional
However, your question is more specific to getting the tools working.
The last I read (and I'll try to confirm/update the answer when I do find it), is that the stubs are part of the full product install for RAD (selectable via Installation Manager).
You're correct that traditional WAS doesn't run on OSX. Remote servers are an option but traditional WAS is considered by some developers to be heavy and slow to restart, so your developers might appreciate something local and more nimble. Liberty is supposed to run on OSX, and things that run on Liberty -usually- will run on traditional, so getting to the bottom of your Liberty problems might be useful. If you haven't already, posting your question on WASDev might reach someone that has a better answer than this one.
I noticed that there's a recent released apps that enables Raspberry Pi to run a deployed LabVIEW program all by itself and to set the program run as RPi boots. Since I was planning to remotely control the LabVIEW program through the internet using a Web UI, is it possible to setup a webservice of the program on the RPi? By the way, I'm currently planning to use RPi 2 for my project.
If I am getting you right you are about LINX at Makers hub: https://www.labviewmakerhub.com/doku.php?id=blog:users:makerhub:2016-04-07-linx-3
It is open source, free tool. You are free to modify and it and add custom command on LINX Firmware as I understand. After that, you can call LabVIEW Custom Command vi which is part of the API.
You can have a look on all API VIs here: https://www.labviewmakerhub.com/doku.php?id=learn:libraries:linx:reference:labview:start
From the discussion thread here:
We're running the LabVIEW Runtime on the target just like we do on our Linux based RIO devices. The great thing about using the full runtime is that you get the standard LabVIEW expereince with interactive mode, highlight execute, probes, startup executables, etc. This also means that all of the core LabVIEW functionality will work. One way to think about it is anything that works without explicitly installing it on the target from MAX should work on BBB/RPI. We actually don't plug into MAX at all. We currently do not support any toolkits or modules, but we've been experimenting with a couple to see what it would take to support things like web services.
So native LabVIEW web services aren't available yet, but may be coming soon - I'm sure development is responsive to what people ask for, so go to that discussion thread and let them know your interest.
You might be able to 'roll your own' simple web service using the TCP VI's, which as far as I can see should be available on the Raspberry Pi.
Note that deployment to Raspberry Pi or (BeagleBone Black) is only licensed for noncommercial use, as stated in the same thread.
I heard that minecraft server is very leaky, can consume a lot of resources very quickly. People say to use a virtual machine, all well and good. I'm making an application to automate server setup, and I'd like my whole application (including minecraft) to run in an ultra basic auto setup vm (or something similar). I've heard of mineos, but I'm not sure if that can be set up very quickly. The vm will be so basic it won't even have a ui. I'm using a Mac, not planning to distribute the server WITH the application but have it download from the minecraft server, not modified.
I want it to be like a one-click-done solution for the end user, they don't have to worry about minecraft server gobbling up resources because it's be in a controllable virtual machine.
Distrubuting minecraft server (Notch's property) could be an issue, but if anyone knows about that if be happy to hear.
If you intend for a server to be fully configured and only for your user to only have to download and 'open' it, what you're seeking is known as an 'appliance'. Virtualbox supports the open-standard of such appliances, allowing a single file to be distributed and it contains all the virtualized hardware info as well as the OS/filesystem. A number of other formats exist, such as Turnkey.
In all likelihood, I would find MineOS CRUX to be perfectly suited for this sort of one-click-done, since the OS was designed for pretty much exactly what you're trying to do...only without the configure-the-hardware-for-the-user (it uses an ISO and an installer, the process you would automate for the end-user).
That said, this distribution has never at any point packaged Minecraft files, as clearly stated: "this Linux distro does not contain ANY Minecraft files. The scripts are, however, designed to download/update files directly from the source: http://minecraft.net"
Hope this answers all the concerns, despite being an old thread.
Azure and EC2 are optimized for running servers. Lots and lots of servers. Both platforms attempt to manage tons of things for you -- in Azure's case, it wants to manage even the target operating system.
However, I'd like to use such a service for a different reason: Testing.
I've got a ton of operating systems I need to support. My tests don't actually take that long, but running them on every platform is time consuming. I was going to just use a cloud service for this, thinking that these machines would be running for much less than an hour, and it wouldn't cost all that much.
The problem is that the major cloud services won't run client versions of Windows -- Windows Server only.
Is there a cloud service which would let me run every client and server version, and every service pack level, of Windows released starting with Windows 2000 SP4 to the present day?
Try CloudSigma, Defiantly can upload your own ISO's and run any x86 and 64bit OS you like on it. They have their in-house versions to get started but you can bring your own OS versions.
Based in Switzerland but they would have also the servers in the US, performance i've expected to quite good.

There is also a free trail on at the moment

The list of Open Virtualization Alliance members may have some candidates for you.
A search on the page for "operating system" suggests the following possibilities (in addition to the already-mentioned CloudSigma):
ElasticHosts
stepping stone GmbH (I'm less sure about this one)
Sublime IP
No, commercial cloud services like Azure and Amazon EC2 are themselves virtual, so you don't get a great deal of control over the operating system.
An option may be to consider renting a full physical server (colocated, or managed) and then use a battery of virtual machines to run the tests. Something like VMWare's snapshot feature sounds perfect: spin up a clean virtual machine, deploy the test code, then throw away changes to the disk once the tests have been completed.
Or, indeed, as #Stuart suggests - run the tests locally.
This definitely isn't something Azure offers - I think all of Azure's images are based near to Windows Server 2008 R2.
For EC2 you could set up images for Server 2003 through to 2008R2 - but nothing else. There are also some services out there to assist with this - e.g. VaasNet http://www.vaasnet.com/catalog
For testing the other Windows operating systems, I simply don't think there's a cloud service available to let you do this. I don't even think there are any cloud services where you can run "Virtual PC" type applications on top of the hosted operating system - as I think most of the virtualization APIs are disabled in the cloud environments (virtualization within virtualization not supported!)
Sorry to say this, but your best bet may be local test hardware running VirtualPC images.
It appears that the Xen Cloud Platform might do what you're after. This page ends with:
Guest Operating Systems: the XCP binary distribution is delivered with a wide range of Linux and Widnows guests. Check out the release notes for a complete list.
And their PDF document Xen Cloud Platform Virtual Machine Installation Guide (Release 0.1, Published October 2009) says that Windows 2000 Server has "No known issues."
(I don't have any affiliation with Xen)
In conjunction with the above, there is also a list of Xen VirtualPrivateServerProviders, several of which say they include Windows.
Buy time on an EC2 instance and use it to host VirtualBox VMs with VMs set up for each operating system you want to test for. Use a RDP client or VNC or some other means to control the guest OS. This forum post seems to point to that being possible. But yes it is not a cloud service itself and you would have todo some initial setup and configuration work yourself.
