25. AWS DATABASE & STORAGE SOLUTIONS
Amazon S3 Amazon EC2 + EBS
• Cost-effective blob or large object storage • Multiple flavors of database engine
• Minimal relationships between objects • Complete control
Amazon SimpleDB Amazon RDS
• Zero administrative overhead (automatic • Native access to database engine
handling of geo-redundant replication, • Easy migration path (existing code, tools,
index creation, database tuning) application are compatible)
• Automatic and elastic scaling of resources • Key features of a relational database, such
to meet request load as joins or complex transactions
• High availability (multiple copies of data for • Managed experience (offload common DBA
reliability and failover) tasks, lower total cost of ownership)
• Flexibility (schema-less data store)
28. Economies of Scale in Utilization
• Assumptions:
– Facility: ~$88M for 8MW facility
– Servers: Roughly 46k @ $1.45k each
– Server power draw at 30% load: 80%
– Commercial Power: ~$0.07/kWhr
