Why is this possible? Anything to do with web browser front-end rendering technology?

I mean it is crazy! I can log into a operating system (Windows Server 2016 DS) right in the window of my web browser! Even though my PC does not support virtualization technology (CPU has no support for VT-x or AMD-v), cannot run VM (e.g. VirtualBox), but I can use Chrome web browser to run Windows VM and execute EXE programs right on the cloud!

QUOTE(ketnave @ Jun 12 2021, 06:48 PM) Agreed, it is Bastion, as a PaaS. But it is backend. Our frontend (e.g. web browser) must support also, which means it is only possible with HTML5 , without the need of Silverlight or Flash to support <canvas> <audio> <video> vector graphics.I would like to know further about how HTML5 is making the PaaS possible. |

QUOTE(1024kbps @ Jun 13 2021, 03:00 AM) VM on the cloud Good, I like your explanation. there, the VM is executed in cloud, that's pretty much self-explanatory. The browser only need to capture the mouse pointer position and send it to azure, the it sends back the video, there's no magic there.   Thanks! |
