One of the benefits of cloud technology is that it allows you to run your own version of fairly complicated applications with a minimum of cost and effort; all the work is done upfront to create and configure an image, and once that's done, anyone can use that image. And that's what we have here is PeerTube being run in a cloud environment by Jim Groom. PeerTube is like YouTube, except you host it yourself, and it connects to (or 'federates') with other instances of PeerTube. " So, for example," says Groom, "I can federate my own instance, bava.tv, with ds106.tv and folks who come to either can explore what's on both. Even better, there's the ability to provide redundancy so we can back-up each others videos in the event of server issues, take-downs, etc. It's everything ad-revenue and premium video sharing services are not." there's additional note to this article here.
