AWS’s History of Innovation
* As of 8 Oct 15
AWS has been continually expanding its services to support virtually any
cloud workload, and it now has more than 60 services that range from
compute, storage, networking, database, analytics, application services,
deployment, management and mobile.
10. Which Region you should use?
Latency
Proximity to customers
Data governance and legal requirements
Services available within the Region
Costs (vary by Region)
11. 1st Stage: User = 1
AKA: “I just need it to work for me” stage
12. • Route end users to Internet applications
• Answers DNS queries with low latency by using a global network of DNS
servers
• Latency based routing to closest AWS endpoint (e.g. EC2 instances, Elastic
IPs or ELBs)
• Application Health Checks
• Deep integration with other AWS services (ELB,
EC2 NAT/EIP, etc.)
• DNS failover
Route 53
Scalable DNS
13. • Resizable compute capacity in more then 30 instance types
• Reduces the time required to obtain and boot new server instances to minutes
or seconds
• Scale capacity as your computing requirements change
• Pay only for capacity that you actually use
• Choose Linux or Windows
• Deploy across Regions and Availability Zones for reliability
• Support for virtual network interfaces that can be attached to EC2 instances in
your VPC
EC2
Virtual servers in the
cloud
Elastic Compute Cloud
Compute
14. • Building blocks of EC2 instances
• An AMI is like a template of a computer's root volume.
• Can be public or private and shared with other accounts
• Create hardened or gold “Images” of your EC2 infrastructure
• Copy AMIs between regions

15. • Use for persistent storage from 1GB – 1TB
• Can use to create RAID configuration for a server
• Off-instance block storage that persists independently
• Storage volumes for use with Amazon EC2 instances – create, attach, backup,
restore and delete
• Can be attached to a running Amazon EC2 instance and exposed as a block
device for raw or formatted (file system) access
• Snapshots are durably saved to S3
• Ideal use cases:
• OS Boot device / root file system; secondary volumes/file systems
• Typical basis for database storage
• Raw block devices for RAID, some databases
• Available in magnetic, general purpose SSD, and provisioned IOPS

16. 2nd Stage: Users > 1
AKA: “I hope my users don’t mind some downtime” stage
17. T2 Instance Types
Replacement for some T1, M1 instances.
Designed for occasional bursts of activity (e.g., Web
servers, ERP, modeling and simulation jobs).
Can handle large variety of general purpose workloads.
➢ “CPU credits” given for idle time.
➢ Only 2.5% of all T2 instances run out of burst credit.
Requires HVM images.

* t2.medium baseline performance can be 40% of 1 core, 20% each of 2 cores, or
anywhere in between as demanded by the workload
Each T2 size is given a number of “credits” to run at
baseline performance.
19. Understanding T2 CPU Credit Accumulation
CPU Credit: One
minutes’ worth of a
full CPU core
Credits accrue during
idle time, used during
heavy usage spike
Credits accrue
continuously
20. Right-Sizing Your Instances
How do I know if I chose the right
instance size?
Check CloudWatch statistics for
instance – CPU utilization, IOPS,
others
For T2, check how often credit
balance approaches zero
22. • Supports the routing and load balancing of HTTP, HTTPS and generic TCP
traffic to EC2 instances
• Supports SSL termination and Proxy protocol
• Supports health checks to ensure detect and remove failing instances
• Dynamically grows and shrinks required resources based on traffic
• Seamlessly integrates with Auto-scaling to add and remove instances based
on scaling activities
• Single CNAME provides stable entry point for DNS configuration
• Supports internal load balancing within a VPC

23. • Client Defined Business Rules
• Scale your Amazon EC2 capacity automatically once you define the conditions
(may be 1000’s of servers)
• Can scale up just a little…doesn’t need to be massive number of servers (may
be simply 2 servers)
• Well suited for applications that experience variability in usage
• Set minimum and maximum scaling policies
• Alternate Use is for Fault Tolerance

24. Database
• Fully-managed, tuned MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle 11g, MS SQL ot Aurora
• Cost-efficient and resizable capacity
• Manages time-consuming database admin tasks
• Code, applications, and tools you already use today work seamlessly
• Automatically patches the database software and backs up your database
• Flexible Licensing: BYOL or License Include
• Multi-AZ deployment option for MySQL, PostgreSQL and Oracle
• Cross-Region Read Replica support for MySQL
