Introduction to Amazon Web Services Overview of AWS Services

What is Cloud Computing?

“Cloud Computing”, by definition, refers to on-demand delivery of IT resources and applications via the Internet with pay-as-you-go pricing

Six Benefits of Cloud Computing

Trade capital expense for variable expense– Instead of having to invest heavily in data centers and

servers before you know how you’re going to use them, you can only pay when you consume computing resources, and only pay for how much you consume

Six Benefits of Cloud Computing

Benefit from massive economies of scale– By using cloud computing, you can achieve a lower

variable cost than you can get on your own– Because usage from hundreds of thousands of

customers are aggregated in the cloud, providers such as Amazon Web Services can achieve higher economies of scale which translates into lower pay as you go prices

Six Benefits of Cloud Computing

Stop guessing capacity– Eliminate guessing on your infrastructure capacity needs– When you make a capacity decision prior to deploying an

application, you often either end up sitting on expensive idle resources or dealing with limited capacity

– With Cloud Computing, these problems go away– You can access as much or as little as you need, and scale

up and down as required with only a few minutes notice

Six Benefits of Cloud Computing

Increase speed and agility– In a cloud computing environment, new IT resources

are only ever a click away, which means you reduce the time it takes to make those resources available to your developers from weeks to just minutes

– This results in a dramatic increase in agility for the organization, since the cost and time it takes to experiment and develop is significantly lower

Six Benefits of Cloud Computing

Stop spending money on running and maintaining datacenters

– Focus on projects that differentiate your business, not the infrastructure

– Cloud computing lets you focus on your own customers, rather than on the heavy lifting of racking, stacking and powering servers

Six Benefits of Cloud Computing

Go global in minutes– Easily deploy your application in multiple regions

around the world with just a few clicks– This means you can provide a lower latency and

better experience for your customers simply and at minimal cost

AWS Global Infrastructure

• Regions– Geographic locations that contain multiple data

centers called Availability Zones– Each region is completely independent

AWS Global Infrastructure

• Today we have 12 AWS Regions– North America (4)– Europe (2)– Asia Pacific (5)– South America (1)

AWS Global Infrastructure

• Availability Zones (AZs)– Isolated datacenters that are connected to each other

over low-latency links within a region

AWS Global Infrastructure

• 32 Availability Zones (AZs)– Example

• US East (N. Virginia)– us-east-1a– us-east-1b– us-east-1c– us-east-1d

AWS Global Infrastructure

• AWS Edge Locations– Local points-of-presence commonly supporting AWS

services like Amazon Route 53 and Amazon CloudFront

AWS Shared Responsibility Model

• It is important for customers to understand and distinguish between:– Security measures that the cloud service provider (AWS)

implements and operates – “security of the cloud”– Security measures that the customer implements and

operates, related to the security of the customer content and applications that make use of AWS services – “security in the cloud”

AWS Shared Responsibility Model

• While AWS manages security of the cloud, security in the cloud is the responsibility of the customer

• Customers retain control of what security they choose to implement to protect there own content, platform, applications, systems, and networks, no differently than they would for applications in an on-site datacenter

AWS Shared Responsibility Model

AWS Compliance

• Amazon Web Services Cloud Compliance enables customers to understand the robust controls in place at AWS to maintain security and data protection in the cloud

• As you build systems on top of AWS cloud infrastructure, compliance responsibilities will be shared

AWS has been continually expanding its services to support virtually any cloud workload, and it now has more than 40 services.

AWS Pace of Innovation

Every day, AWS adds enough new servercapacity to support all of Amazon’s globalinfrastructure when it was a $7B annual

revenue enterprise
