Amid continuing interest in evolution to more advanced codecs such as VVC (Versatile Video Coding), the encoding field is dominated by migration to cloud transcoding for increased efficiency and flexibility, as well by growing use of ML based processing techniques. These trends are also affecting the external debate between hardware…
The differences between virtual machines (VMs) and containers are more than just the differences in how they utilize the underlying hardware.
