A lap around AWS

Editor's Notes

• #5: 8 regions in the world currently
• #6: Region is a geographic part of the world. Within each region there are two or more availability zones AZ uses entirely different infrastructure. Different flood plains, different connectorsHigh speed connectors between the AZ’s
• #8: Scalable domain name serviceRoute end users to your web applications through its distributed DNS
• #9: Lets you create your own virtual network topology in AmazonYou have complete control over the network can create ip address ranges , create sub nets etcGives you an additional layer of securityMakes hybrid possible – cloud burstingAllows you to extend your data center into the cloud
• #10: Dedicated direct connection from on premises to your AWS cloudBypasses the public internet – in effect it’s a VPN tunnelHigh bandwidth and predictable latency
• #12: EC2 - pprovides resizable compute capacity in the cloud. There are a range of prebuilt AMI’s to choose from or you can build your ownSpin up time – 10 minsMicro instance is free for a year pretty much right up to the 42nd fastest super computer in the world !Specs for IO intensive work Reserved, spot instances,
• #14: Traditionally you plan for peak
• #17: Key value pairs in the cloud, think of a file server in the cloud1 trillion objects in S3, that’s 100 objects for each person on the earthReliability is 99 and 9 9’s which means – “ If you store 10,000 objects with us, on average we may lose one of them every 10 million years or so”WORM data – write once read many times…
• #19: Persistent hard drive that you can attach to your server.Can create multiple volumes and mount themPlaced in a specific availability zoneProvisioned I/Ops…
• #20: AWS GlacierLow cost fully redundant archiving and back up service$0.01 per gigabyte per monthYou can retrieve up to 5% of your average monthly storage (pro-rated daily) for free each monthTakes several hours to extract the dataReplacement to back up to magnetic tape
• #23: Some limitations-read only replicas not available on SQL ServerCant take a copy back on premise easily
• #24: Building blocks for common things you need in an applicationCachingQueueuingNotificationsEmails ServicesWorkflow ServiceALL API drive and you can develop in most programming languages
• #26: Fully automated resource provisioning through code
• #27: Real-time metrics from your infrastructure on AWSCan set up alerts, warnings, notifications, auto scale rules
