What we’ll cover:
• A brief look back
• Amazon EC2– Key functionality
– Companion services
• Demo
What is Amazon EC2..?
A Brief look back…
Amazon EC2: Seven Years Young
Amazon EC2 – Seven years ago
• Single instance family and size– m1.small (1 vCPU, 1.7 GiB RAM, 160 GB storage)
• Linux only
• On Demand pricing only
• No AWS Management Console
• No EBS
• No Elastic IPs
• No VPC
• No Auto Scaling
• No Elastic Load BalancingAmazon EC2
Since then• Many new families and sizes
– M1, M2, C1, C3, M3, CC1, CC2, CG1, G2, CR1, HS1, HI1, T1, G2, I2
• Windows (and Enterprise Linux)
• Reserved Instances and Spot Instances
• AWS Management Console
• Elastic Block Store
• Elastic IP Addresses
• Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)
• Auto Scaling
• Elastic Load Balancing
• Performance, security, manageability, and scalability improvements
AWS Global Infrastructure
10 Regions
25 Availability Zones
51 Edge locations
Amazon EC2
• Resizable compute instances in the cloud
• Provision 1 or many instances
• Pay for what you use; no minimum commitment
• Familiar operating systems, with cloud benefits
Amazon EC2 Instances - Families

Amazon EC2 Instances - Generations
Amazon EC2 Instances – Types*
c3.large
i2.xlarge
t1.micro
m3.medium
g2.2xlarge
m2.xlarge
*Note: Only instance type is shown from each family/generation, as an example
Recent Instance Highlights
• HI1– 120,000 random read IOPS on SSDs
• I2 - Next generation I/O optimized (350,000+ random read IOPS)
• M3 – Next generation general purpose
• HS1– 48 TB of storage per instance
• CR1– 244 GiB of RAM &Intel Xeon E5 2670 (Sandy Bridge) CPUs
• G2 – 1 NVIDIA GK104 GPU (Kepler)
• C3 - 2.8 GHz Intel Xeon E5-2680v2 (Ivy Bridge) CPUs (SSD)
A choice of block storage options
• Locally attached, “instance storage”– Type/amount differs by instance
• Amazon EBS Standard Volumes
• Amazon EBS Provisioned IOPS Volumes
Who uses EC2..?
Using AWS, Dow Jones saved $40,000;
improves time-to-market by 30%
• Dow Jones & Company provides news and
business information for the global investment
market.
• Dow Jones needed to replace its Asian data
center with a flexible, cost-effective alternative
that allowed its staff to focus on building
products
• Moving its data center to AWS saved $40,000 in
hardware costs and enabled Dow Jones staff to
focus on creating revenue-producing
applications for the website
• One of the world's leading online travel
companies, providing leisure and business
travel to customers worldwide
• Expedia needed a global infrastructure to
support its commitment to create a great
experience for customers worldwide
• Using AWS, Expedia created a global
infrastructure for its critical applications while
reducing network latency to under 50
milliseconds and enabling a 230% CPU
consumption efficiency for data processing
Expedia uses AWS to run critical, high volume applications globally
