Amazon Web Services What It Is and How To Use It

What is it?

What Amazon Web Services Provides Amazon Web Services (AWS) offers a myriad of services for companies and developers to use that include web development products, services, and solutions as well as the ability to develop and store content in the cloud.

Amazon Web Services is Based on Cloud Computing Cloud computing allows businesses to store content and data in a shared cloud server, creating a safe and reliable IT infrastructure and making it easy to share information.

How It Works •Amazon has been developing the technology for over a decade, but began offering the service to companies in early 2006. •Amazon Web Services provides an online web services infrastructure platform for cloud based computer storage. •AWS provides companies of various sizes the ability to utilize the same global cloud based computer infrastructure that supports all of it’s content on Amazon.com.

Cloud Computing Platforms Amazon CloudFront - high performance, globally distributed content delivery. Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) - provides resizable compute capacity in the cloud. Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) - provides resizable capacity for MySQL deployments in the cloud, while managing time-consuming tasks like backup, scaling, and patching. Amazon Simple Notiﬁcation Service (Amazon SNS) - makes it easy to send notiﬁcations from the cloud. Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) - an interface that can be used to store and retrieve large amounts of data, at any time, from anywhere on the web.

Reduced Redundancy Amazon just announced yesterday what they call Amazon S3 Reduced Redundancy Storage which is a new storage option within Amazon’s Simple Storage platform that allows customers to “store non-critical, reproducible data at lower levels of redundancy than Amazon S3's standard storage.”
