- 7. Outline ● What is Amazon Web Services (AWS)? ● What Can I Do with AWS? ● Web Application Hosting ● Fault Tolerance & High Availability
- 8. What is AWS? ● Amazon Web Services (AWS) – Cloud computing – Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) – Provides computing resource and services – Pay-as-you-go pricing
- 9. What is AWS? (cont.) ● History – 1994: Founded by Jeff Bezos ● Initial product with online virtual bookstore – 2000: Survived the dot-com bubble burst ● Lots of infrastructure (some said ~90%) idled ● Need some way to utilize such resource – 2003: Why not resell the resource DIRECTLY? – 2006: AWS officially launched
- 11. What is AWS? (cont.) ● AWS Management Console – Web-based user interface – Access all AWS service in one place ● https://console.aws.amazon.com/
- 12. What Can I Do with AWS? ● Foundation Services – Deploy IT infrastructure in the cloud – Compute, storage, database, etc ● Application Services – Add functionality to application – Search, messaging, CDN, etc ● Administration Services – Manage AWS resources – Identity, monitoring, deployment, etc
- 14. What Can I Do with AWS? (cont.) ● Route 53 ● CloudFront ● Simple Storage Service (S3) ● Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) ● Elastic Block Store (EBS) ● Auto Scaling ● Relational Database Service (RDS) ● … and more!!
- 15. Route 53 ● Domain Name System (DNS) ● ONLY provide domain name management – You need to register domain name somewhere else ● USD0.50 per hosted zone / month
- 16. CloudFront ● Content Delivery Network (CDN) ● Serve content to end-users with high availability and high performance ● Distribute static or dynamic content, e.g. – .html – .css – .js – .php – Image – Video, etc
- 17. Simple Storage Service (S3) ● Stores and retrieves digital files ● Object storage ● Can serve static content website DIRECTLY!! ● NOT FTP!!
- 18. Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) ● Virtual computing – Seems like VMWare, VirtualBox or Virtual PC ● Resizable computing capacity, e.g. – m3.medium: 1 vCPU, 3.75GB RAM – m3.2xlarge: 8 vCPU, 30GB RAM (!?) ● Can run with Linux (e.g. Ubuntu, RedHat) or Windows instance
- 19. Elastic Block Store (EBS) ● Block storage ● Persistent file system for EC2 ● Seems like physical harddisk in PC ● Up to 1TB per disk – Always use LVM under Linux for live add/remove/update partition management!!
- 20. Auto Scaling ● Add or remove EC2 dynamically ● Scale-up or scale-down due to peaks and lulls in traffic
- 21. Relational Database Service (RDS) ● Database-as-a-Service ● Support MySQL, Oracle or SQL Server ● Support multiple Available Zone (AZ) High Availability (HA) setup by default – P.S. Multiple instance required (i.e. more $$)
- 22. Web Application Hosting ● LAMP – a.k.a. Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP – Most common system architecture for Drupal ● Ubuntu 14.04 LTS – Apache 2.4 – MySQL 5.5 – PHP 5.5 – Drupal 7.x compatible
- 23. Web Application Hosting (cont.) ● Virtualmin – http://www.virtualmin.com/ – FOSS Web-based system management GUI ● Manage (almost) everything for virtual hosting – DNS (Bind9) – Mail (Postfix) + spam filter (Spamassassin) + virus filter (ClamAV) – Web (Apache) + PHP – Database (MySQL, PostgreSQL) ● Our one-line script for installation (Ubuntu 14.04 LTS): – https://github.com/phpshift/virtualmin-installer
- 25. Web Application Hosting (cont.) ● AWS (Amazon Web Service) – CDN (Content Delivery Network) – AZ (Available Zone) – RDS (Relational Database Service) ● Can scale-out and scale-up in a flexible style – EC2 – Elastic Load Balancing – Auto Scaling
- 27. Fault Tolerance & High Availability ● Hot Spare ($$$$$) – Real-time sync and replacement on failure – Usually combine with performance scale-out ● Warm Spare ($$) – Maybe async and replace during failure – May not as powerful as master setup ● Cold Spare ($) – Usually periodically backup to similar setup – May even just backup useful data for restore – Need more time for resume during failure
- 28. Fault Tolerance & High Availability (cont.) ● About 99.99% – 1m (weekly), 4m19s (monthly) or 52m33s (yearly) ● Solution – Implement multiple layer, e.g. web, application, database, storage, etc – Each layer coming with failover and recovery solution – e.g. MySQL in master-slave replication (or AWS RDS)
