Cloud computing defined

Cloud computing is the on-demand delivery of compute power,


database, storage, applications, and other IT resources via the
internet with pay-as-you-go pricing.

© 2019 Amazon Web Services, Inc. or its Affiliates. All rights reserved. 5
Infrastructure as software

Cloud computing enables you to stop thinking of your infrastructure


as hardware, and instead think of (and use) it as software.

© 2019 Amazon Web Services, Inc. or its Affiliates. All rights reserved. 6
Traditional computing model

• Infrastructure as hardware
• Hardware solutions:
• Require space, staff, physical
security, planning, capital
expenditure
• Have a long hardware procurement
cycle
• Require you to provision capacity by
guessing theoretical maximum
peaks

© 2019 Amazon Web Services, Inc. or its Affiliates. All rights reserved. 7
Cloud computing model

• Infrastructure as software
• Software solutions:
• Are flexible
• Can change more quickly, easily,
and cost-effectively than hardware
solutions
• Eliminate the undifferentiated
heavy-lifting tasks

• There are three cloud service models:
IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS.
• There are three cloud deployment
models: cloud, hybrid, and on-premises

What are web services?

A web service is any piece of software that makes itself available


over the internet and uses a standardized format—such as
Extensible Markup Language (XML) or JavaScript Object Notation
(JSON)—for the request and the response of an application
programming interface (API) interaction.

How do you pay for AWS?

Pay for what you use Pay less when you reserve Pay less when you
use more and as
AWS grows

© 2019 Amazon Web Services, Inc. or its Affiliates. All rights reserved. 35
Pay for what you use

Pay only for the services that you consume, with no large
upfront expenses.

Pay less by using more

Realize volume-based discounts:


• Savings as usage increases.
• Tiered pricing for services like Amazon
Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3),
Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon
EBS), or Amazon Elastic File System
(Amazon EFS) ! the more you use, the
less you pay per GB.
• Multiple storage services deliver lower
storage costs based on needs.

Pay even less as AWS grows

As AWS grows:

• AWS focuses on lowering cost of doing business.


• This practice results in AWS passing savings from
economies of scale to you.
• Since 2006, AWS has lowered pricing 75 times (as of
September 2019).
• Future higher-performing resources replace current
resources for no extra charge.

AWS Regions

• An AWS Region is a geographical area.


• Data replication across Regions is controlled
by you.
• Communication between Regions uses AWS
backbone network infrastructure.
• Each Region provides full redundancy and
connectivity to the network.
• A Region typically consists of two or more
Availability Zones.

Availability Zones

AWS Cloud
• Each Region has multiple Availability Zones.
Region eu-west-1
• Each Availability Zone is a fully isolated partition
of the AWS infrastructure. Availability Zone eu-west-1a
• There are currently 69 Availability Zones worldwide Data center
• Availability Zones consist of discrete data centers
Data center
• They are designed for fault isolation
• They are interconnected with other Availability Zones by Data center
using high-speed private networking
• You choose your Availability Zones. Availability Zone eu-west-1b
• AWS recommends replicating data and resources
across Availability Zones for resiliency.
Availability Zone eu-west-1c

AWS data centers

• AWS data centers are designed for


security.
• Data centers are where the data
resides and data processing occurs.
• Each data center has redundant power,
networking, and connectivity, and is
housed in a separate facility.
• A data center typically has 50,000 to
80,000 physical servers.

© 2019 Amazon Web Services, Inc. or its Affiliates. All rights reserved. 51
Points of Presence

• AWS provides a global network of


187 Points of Presence locations
• Consists of 176 edge locations
and 11 Regional edge caches
• Used with Amazon CloudFront
• A global Content Delivery Network
(CDN), that delivers content to end
users with reduced latency
• Regional edge caches used for
content with infrequent access.

• The AWS Global Infrastructure
consists of Regions and Availability
Key takeaways Zones.
• Your choice of a Region is typically
based on compliance requirements or to
reduce latency.
• Each Availability Zone is physically
separate from other Availability Zones
and has redundant power, networking,
and connectivity.
• Edge locations, and Regional edge
caches improve performance by
caching content closer to users.

Hands-on activity: AWS Management Console clickthrough

1. Launch the Sandbox hands-on environment and connect to the AWS Management Console.
2. Explore the AWS Management Console.
A. Click the Services menu.
B. Notice how services are grouped into service categories. For example, the EC2 service appears in the Compute
service category.
Question #1: Under which service category does the IAM service appear?
Question #2: Under which service category does the Amazon VPC service appear?
C. Click the Amazon VPC service. Notice that the dropdown menu in the top-right corner displays an AWS Region (for
example, it might display N. Virginia).
D. Click the Region menu and switch to a different Region. For example, choose EU (London).
E. Click Subnets (on the left side of the screen). The Region has three subnets in it. Click the box next to one of the
subnets. Notice that the bottom half of the screen now displays details about this subnet.
Question #3: Does the subnet you selected exist at the level of the Region or at the level of the Availability Zone?
F. Click Your VPCs. An existing VPC is already selected.
Question #4: Does the VPC exist at the level of the Region or the level of the Availability Zone?
Question #5: Which services are global instead of Regional? Check Amazon EC2, IAM, Lambda, and Route 53.
