The document provides an overview of Amazon Web Services (AWS) Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) capabilities. It describes AWS services like Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) which provides virtual servers, Elastic Block Storage for storage volumes, and Simple Storage Service for cloud storage. It outlines the advantages of AWS like elastic scalability, pay-as-you-go pricing, and global infrastructure. Real-world examples show how applications can dynamically scale on EC2 to meet varying demands. Security responsibilities are also discussed.

3. Overview
Infrastructure as a Service - IaaS
Introduction to Amazon Web Service
Advantages of Amazon Web Service
Amazon Global Physical Infrastructure
Amazon Costing Model
Amazon Support & Services
Common Use Cases and Real world scenarios

4. Infrastructure as a Service - IaaS
Characteristics and components of IaaS includes:
Utility computing service and billing model
Internet connectivity
Automation of administrative tasks
Dynamic scaling
Desktop virtualization
Policy-based services

5. Introduction to Amazon Web Services
 Amazon Web Services offers a complete set of infrastructure and
application services that enable you to run virtually everything in the
cloud: from websites and mobile apps, to big data projects and enterprise
applications.

6. Amazon Web Service: EC2
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)
 Amazon EC2 = Virtual Machine which supports Windows,
Linux, FreeBSD or Open Solaris
 Supports all major web and application platforms
 Offers additional optional service called Cloudwatch to keep
a close monitor of these server instances
 Amazon EC2 : on-demand compute power advantages are:
 Obtain and boot new server instances in minutes
 Quickly scale capacity up or down
 Servers from $0.02 (2 cents) per hour
 On Demand, Reserved and Spot pricing

7. Amazon Web Service: EC2 Instance Types
• Standard Instances
– Well suited for most applications
• High Memory Instances
– Offer large memory sizes for high throughput applications,
including database and memory caching applications
• High CPU Instances
– Have proportionally more CPU resources than memory
(RAM) and are well suited for compute-intensive
applications
• Cluster Compute Instances
– Low latency, 10 Gbps networking between instances

8. Amazon Web Service: EBS
Elastic Block Storage
 You can use Amazon EBS as you would use a hard drive on a
physical server
 Amazon EBS is particularly well-suited for use as the primary
storage for a file system, database or any application that
requires fine granular updates and access to raw,
unformatted block-level storage
 EBS volumes offers
 Data availability from replication across an Availability Zone
 Data persistence independent of the life of the instance
 The ability to create snapshots and incremental backups

9. Amazon Web Service: S3
Simple Storage Service, S3 (Object Based Storage)
 In traditional on-premise applications, this type of storage is
maintained on SAN or NAS
 In Amazon this mechanism is called S3 which is far more agile,
flexible and geo-redundant
 S3 is highly scalable, durable and available distributed object store
designed for mission-critical data
 Easily manageable via web service interfaces
 The number of objects you can store is unlimited.
 S3 is designed for 99.999999999% durability and 99.99%
availability of objects over a given year.

10. How your organization benefits from
Amazon Cloud ?

11. Advantages of AWS
 True Elastic Capacity: Scale up and down
 No Capital Expenditure
 Pay as you go and pay only for what you use
 You get to focus on the engineering resources on what
differentiates you vs managing undifferentiated
infrastructure services
 Improves time to market with Business Agility and
Innovation

13. How Amazon pricing works?

14. Amazon Costing Model : EC2 Pricing
On-Demand Reserved Spot
Instances Instances Instances
Pay as you go for Pay a low up-front Enables you to bid on
compute power fee and receive a unused Amazon EC2
significant discount capacity
Pay only for what you
on the hourly pricing
use, no up-front Spot Price is based on
for that instance
commitments or supply/demand and is
long-term contracts 1- or 3-year terms determined
automatically
Unix/Linux instances Helps ensure that
start at $0.085/hour compute capacity is If the Spot Price is below
USD in the US East available when it is your bid, your instances
Region needed will start
If the Spot Price rises
above your bid, your
instances will stop

17. Concern on Cloud Security

18. Cloud Security
Security is a Shared Responsibility
Encrypt data in transit
SAS 70 Type II Audit
Encrypt data at rest
ISO 27001/2 Certification
Protect your AWS Credentials
PCI DSS 2.0 Level 1-5
Rotate your keys
HIPAA/SOX Compliance
Secure your application, OS,
FISMA A&A Low Infrastructure Application
Security
Stack and AMIs
Security
How we secure our How can you secure your
infrastructure application and what is
your responsibility?
Services Security
What security options Enforce IAM policies
and features are available Use MFA, VPC, Leverage S3
to you? bucket policies, EC2 Security
groups, EFS in EC2 Etc..
