AWS- Amazon Simple Storage Service
(Amazon S3)
• Amazon S3 provides safe and secure object storage
to developers
A file in the Amazon S3 parlance is referred to as on object

AWS- Amazon S3 Process, Bucket
usage and its objectives
• We have permission to access AWS region, and use a bucket
and its objects.
• Low-priced reduced redundancy storage (RRS) helps duplicate
objects across a small number of locations in a region.

AWS- Amazon S3 storage class
• Offers 3 Storage Classes
• Amazon S3 offers configurable policies for handling data throughout its
development. Once the policy is set, the data would be migrated to the
most appropriate storage class and without any changes to the application.

AWS- Amazon Storage Service Pricing
• Server-side Encryption or AES-256 Standard can
be used to encrypt stored objects.
• Security breach while transacting data can be
avoided using SSL connections.

AWS- Amazon Glacier
• Its an economic storage solution to store data that
would remain forever but rarely accessed.
• AWS bills you only for the used data or storage, and
current least price for storing data in Amazon Glacier is
$0.007 per gigabyte per months.

AWS- Amazon Glacier
• Types of data that Amazon Glacier Support.
• Archiving off-site enterprise information
• Backing up media assets
• Storing research and scientific data
• Preserving digital data
• Replacing magnetic tapes

(Amazon EFS)
• The Amazon EFS Benefits
• Amazon EFS helps you to be charged only for your data
usage or storage.

AWS- Amazon Storage Gateway
• Provides uninterrupted and secured connection
between cloud storage and datacentres (on
premise).

AWS- AWS Storage Gateway
• Amazon Storage Gateway is a scalable and
economical solution of your office IT and AWS
storage infrastructure.
• They offer:

• There are three configurations that AWS storage
gateway support:
• Gateway-Cached Volumes

AWS- AWS Storage Gateway
• Gateway-Stored Volumes
• Gateway VTL

AWS- AWS Import/ Export
• This service allows easy transfer of considerable
volumes of data from and to AWSA without using the
internet, but physical storage devices.

AWS- AWS Import/ Export
• Snowball
• It is a cost effective data transfer solution. Capable of
transferring up to 50 terabytes of data.
• Statistics says its 5 time cheaper than using
high speed internet connection.

AWS- AWS Import/ Export
• Snowball
• How to transfer data using Snowball??
NIT5082 Cloud Security, © Dinesh & Khandakar 26
AWS- AWS Import/ Export
• Snowball are Ideal for:
• Expensive network infrastructures upgrades.
• Huge backlog of data
• High speed internet connection is not available
According to AWS, if the data transfer time using a high
speed connection s approximately one week, then we
should go for Snowball.

AWS- AWS Import/ Export
• Disk:
• First service offered by the amazon to transfer data
using UPS or mail.
• Transfer data to and from on premises data centre
using Amazons internal high speed network.
• Ideal for transferring small amount of data
• Disk can import data to Amazon S3,EBS and Glacier.
• Disk can export data from Amazon S3 to on premise
data centres.

AWS- Elastic Block Storage (EBS) of
AWS
• Amazon EC2 Instance Storage is an ephemeral storage
offering instance data shorting.
• EBS is used mainly in stateless web hosts, transcoding,
caching, and High Performance Computing, or HPC.
