- #5 AWS started support for Oracle Virtual Manager (OVM) in 2010. OVM is the only hypervisor other than AWS Xen that AWS supports. With support for OVM, all Oracle products from the Database to the application server (WebLogic and SOA Suite) to the business applications PeopleSoft, E-Business Suite, Seibel and others, become fully supported by Oracle on AWS. In May 2011 Oracle on the Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) was introduced before Microsoft SQL Server and after Oracle MySQL which was introduced October 2009. As it become apparent that enterprises were moving production workloads to AWS, AWS released the first set of Oracle on AWS test drives in 2012. These test drives were created by AWS Oracle System Integrator partners. By the end of 2012, there were 23 Oracle test drives from OSB, Oracle Standby Database, Oracle APEX, Oracle Business Intelligence Suite (OBIEE), PeopleSoft, E-Business Suite and more. The test drives were an opportunity for customers to try the Oracle products on AWS before they bought anything. Try before you buy!2013 is the year of repeatable solutions! This includes new Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) with the latest Oracle Linux operating systems and products on them, reference configurations which include white papers, CloudFormation scripts, and associated best practices, white papers, and additional test drives labs including those for WebLogic.

- #9 Without getting into the industry debate about public vs. private cloud it’s clear that most cloud benefits cannot be realized with on-premise virtualization technologies. In the on-premise virtualization model, you often have to buy expensive hardware and software which virtually eliminates the cost benefits of cloud computing. Although on-premise virtualization allows you to quickly provision new servers, your ability to scale up is limited to your physical infrastructure. You still need to buy physical servers to grow. If you want to scale down you won’t see significant cost-savings as you already paid for the hardware. These limitations of the on-premise virtualization model impact your ability to innovate fast and free up money to invest in new projects.

- #12 Oracle ASM disk groups provide three types of redundancy: normal, high, and external. With normal and high redundancy, files are replicated within the disk group. With external redundancy, ASM does not provide any redundancy for the disk group. When creating setting up ASM for a group of volumes, we recommend using external redundancy since Amazon EBS volumes are already redundant within an availability zone.Oracle ASM best practices like having different disk groups for data and log files, work and recovery areas, also apply in Amazon EBS.Because this architecture is targeted at a medium-sized enterprise class database, we recommend using fewer than 10 total volumes. To provide a benefit, a provisioned IOPS volume must maintain an average queue length (rounded up to the nearest whole number) of 1 for every 200 provisioned IOPS per minute. If you set the queue length to less than 1 per 200 IOPS provisioned, your volume will not consistently deliver the IOPS that you've provisioned. Setting the queue length too far above the recommended setting won't affect the IOPS your volume delivers, however per-request latencies will increase. For a Provisioned IOPS volume of 500, the queue length average must be 3. If the average queue length is less than 3 for this volume, you aren't consistently sending enough I/O requests.Instance StoreZero network overhead; local, direct attached resource.No network variabilityNot optimized for random I/OGenerally better for sequential I/ORoot volume and data volume are lost on physical disk failure, stopping, or terminating of instanceIdeal for storing temporary data like buffers, caches, scratch data, and other temporary content, or for data that is replicated across a fleet of instances, such as a load-balanced pool of web servers.Maintain a number of pending I/O requests to get the most out of your Provisioned IOPS volume. The volumes must maintain an average queue length of 1 (rounded up to the nearest whole number) for every 200 provisioned IOPS in a minute Maintain a queue depth of 10 for a 2,000 Provisioned IOPS volumeMaintain a queue depth of 3 for a 500 Provisioned IOPS volumeExample: a 2000 Provisioned IOPS volume can handle:2000 16KB read/write per second, or 1000 32KB read/write per second, or 500 64KB read/write per second You will get consistent 32 MB/sec throughput (with 16KB or higher IOs)Perform an index creation action and sends I/O of 32K, IOPS becomes 1000, you still get 32MB/sec throughputOn best effort, you may get up to 40 MB/sec throughput fioLinux, WindowsFor benchmarking I/O performance.

Any data placed on those devices will not be available after that instance is terminated by the customer, or if the underlying hardware fails which would cause an instance restart to happen on a different server. This characteristic makes instance storage ill-suited for database persistent storage. AWS offers a storage service called Amazon EBS (Elastic Block Storage), which provides persistent block-level storage volumes. Amazon EBS volumes are off-instance storage that persists independently from the life of an instance. Amazon EBS volumes are designed to be highly available and reliable. Amazon EBS volume data is replicated across multiple servers in an Availability Zone (datacenter) to prevent the loss of data from the failure of any single component. For all these reasons, we recommend to use EBS for data files, log files and for the flash recovery area. Using ephemeral storage intelligently can boot performance. This can be used for many kind of temp files and regularly backup static files.For high I/O workloads, an alternative to Provisioned IOPS EBS volumes is to use High I/O instances, which contain SSD drives as internal storage and address the most demanding database workloads. The High I/O Quadruple Extra Large instance can provide up to 120,000 random read IOPS and 85,000 random write IOPS. The High Memory Cluster Eight Extra Large Instance offers 244 GB of memory in addition to 240 GB of local SSD storage. Note however that this SSD storage is internal to the instance and will be lost if the instance is stopped or if the underlying hardware fails. When using this type of storage for databases, you should make sure that you have a solid strategy to avoid loss of data, for example by frequently backing up your data to Amazon S3. In addition to storage performance, High I/O and High Memory Cluster Instances also have very high I/O performance via 10 Gigabit Ethernet, which allows for increased EBS performance.

- #14 6. IDS : An intrusion detection system (IDS) is a device or software application that monitors network or system activities for malicious activities or policy violations and produces reports to a management station. Some systems may attempt to stop an intrusion attempt but this is neither required nor expected of a monitoring system.7. IPS : Intrusion prevention systems (IPS), also known as intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDPS), are network security appliances that monitor network and/or system activities for malicious activity. The main functions of intrusion prevention systems are to identify malicious activity, log information about this activity, attempt to block/stop it, and report it. Intrusion prevention systems are considered extensions of intrusion detection systems because they both monitor network traffic and/or system activities for malicious activity.A host-based intrusion detection system (HIDS) is an intrusion detection system that monitors and analyzes the internals of a computing system, and in some cases the network packets on its network interfaces (just like an NIDS). A host-based IDS monitors all or parts of the dynamic behavior and the state of a computer system. HIDS was first designed for the mainframe. HIDS uses sensors (agents) located on each host. These host-based agents, which are sometimes referred to as sensors (or agents), would typically be installed on a machine that is deemed to be susceptible to possible attacks. The term “host” refers to an individual computer/virtual host. This means that separate sensor would be needed for every machine/virtual host. Sensors/agents work by collecting data about events taking place on the system being monitored. This data is recorded by operating system in audit trails. Therefore, HIDS is very log intensive.Network-based intrusion detection systems offer a different approach. NIDS collects information from the network itself rather than from each separate host. They operate essentially based on a “wiretapping concept" (network taps). Information is collected from the network traffic stream, as data travels on the network. The intrusion detection system checks for attacks or irregular behavior by inspecting the contents and header information of all the packets moving across the network. The network sensors come equipped with “attack signatures” that are rules on what will constitute an attack, and most network-based systems allow advanced users to define their own signatures. this method is also known as packet sniffing, and allows the sensor to identify hostile traffic.I still don't believe that we are injecting a 0/0 route, but I haven't personally tried setting up a no-BGP tunnel to an ASA, I will try and find one to test and reach out to the VPC team to ask. On the HIPS/HIDS question, the typical FUD is around additional resources being used by the HIPS agent, aka Amazon wants you to run HIPS so you need to run more instances (and pay more $) because the IPS agent will use a bunch of resources. In fact the HIPS solution we recommend, Trend Micro Deep Security, is really lightweight because it only loads the signatures that are required for that instance based on the software and OS that is running plus it has the advantage of being able to stop attacks as well as reducing false positives since the signature set is automatically tuned for that particular instance. This is a huge benefit in my opinion because typical NIDS create a crapton of noise and thus typically no one ever looks the output, resulting in a lower security posture in many cases. Also if they really want NIDS the Alert Logic Threat Manager product is also fairly lightweight, though it does impact network performance, and since few instances are really ever 100% network bound the additional bandwidth has a negligible impact. CISCO ASA and SonicWall dedicated device for AWS VPC. Configure VPN on AWS side it generates an ACL that tunnel is requesting needs to be 0.0.0.0/0 on both device then all traffic on that device will only go to AWS.

- #22 Many architecture diagrams have all the latest and greatest services in them along with a fully scalable, available, loosely coupled, fault tolerant, and multi-tier design. In some cases, customers are moving a very basic implementation with 5 to 20 users. This is the case for the architecture shown above. It is an Oracle PeopleSoft implementation with minimal availability and DR requirements. It is a light weight and low cost solution for hosting PeopleSoft on AWS. The things that stand out about the architecture are: 1. No load balancing as there are only 5 concurrent online users. 2. No long term archiving as there are no regularity compliance needs. 3. No auto scaling for application tier as the application server can be recovered manually using the Amazon EC2 instance snapshots. 4. No automatic HA/multi-AZ for database tier as RDS backups can be used to recover the Oracle database. 5. No session recover as there are limited online transactions and the users can resubmit a failed session.PeopleSoft is hosted on an Amazon EC2 Instance. This is an Amazon Elastic Block Storage (EBS) based Amazon EC2 large Instance with 7.5 GB of memory and 4 Amazon EC2 Compute Units. The database is hosted on an Amazon RDS Oracle Instance. This is an Amazon EBS based Amazon RDS large Instance with 7.5 GB of memory and 4 Amazon EC2 Compute Units. Amazon RDS is backed up automatically. The frequency of the backups can be set automatically. A backup snapshot can be take at anytime but I/O will be suspended for a few minutes unless multi-AZ is set for Amazon RDS. Amazon EBS Snapshots will be used for Application Server high availability and potentially disaster recovery. The snapshots can be located in the same region in a different AZ or snapshot to another region for additional protection. AWS spot instances, spare Amazon EC2 instances that you bid on, can be used when there are extreme large batch files to process and load into the database.Example Architectural Patterns (sorted by increasingly optimal RTO/RPO)Backup and RestorePilot LightFully Working Low Capacity StandbyMulti-Site Hot Standby
- #23 On the other end of the spectrum from the minimal PeopleSoft configuration is highly available and scalable Oracle E-Business Suite implementation. These implementations can be complex and expensive. There are typically dense peak periods and wild swings in traffic patterns result in low utilization rates of expensive hardware. Amazon Web Services provides the reliable, scalable, secure, and high-performance infrastructure required for Oracle E-Business Suite while enabling an elastic, scale out and scale down infrastructure to match IT costs in real time as customer traffic fluctuate.The database server is a High-Memory Quadruple Extra Large Instance with 68.4 GB of memory and 8 virtual cores,26 EC2 Compute Units. The application server instances are also high memory as a minimum of 6 GB of memory is recommended for Oracle E-Business Suite. We will use the High-CPU extra large instances which have 7 GB of memory and 8 virtual cores. The HTTP Servers can be High-CPU Medium instances with 1.7 GB of memory and 2 virtual cores. The user's DNS requests are served by Amazon Route 53, a highly available Domain Name System (DNS) service. Network traffic is routed to infrastructure running in Amazon Web Services. The HTTP requests are first handled by the Elastic Load Balancing, which automatically distributes incoming application traffic across multiple Amazon EC2 instances across AZs. It enables even greater fault tolerance in your applications, seamlessly providing the amount of load balancing capacity needed in response to incoming application traffic. The Oracle Web, application and database servers are deployed on Amazon EC2 instances. This will be a custom AMIusing Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.3 and Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1.3. Amazon Spot Instances or Auto Scaling can be used to support batch processing.Web and application servers are deployed in an Auto Scaling group. Auto Scaling automatically adjusts your capacity according to conditions you define. This ensures that the number of Amazon EC2 instances increases seamlessly during demand spikes. Oracle database backups and the batch flat files for integration with the corporate data center are stored on Amazon S3.The storage volumes for the Applications Servers will be standard Amazon EBS volumes.The Oracle database storage volumes will be Amazon EBS PIOPS volumes. These provide up to 1000 IOPS per volume. These will be stripped using Oracle ASM. Spot instances can be used to handle large batch loads.
- #25 This hybrid architecture applies to all the use cases except the Amazon Glacier use case. The Oracle Database could run in an AWS Direct Connect facility. AWS Direct Connect facility are essentially a colocation allowing for low latency, high bandwidth connections directly into the AWS Datacenters. These facilities are located in close proximity to the AWS data centers and offer 1Gbps to 10 Gbps to the AWS data centers. For this Oracle configuration that is utilizing a Direct Connect facility, the web and application servers running Oracle WebLogic, or this could be any another application such as Tomcat, IBM Websphere, Microsoft IIS will run in the AWS cloud. The architecture can include all the AWS services we used in the previous use cases such as Route 53, Elastic Load Balancing, Auto Scaling, EBS, and others. The Oracle Real Application Cluster (RAC) is running in the Data Connect facility connected over a 1 Gbps or 10 Gbps dedicated link to the AWS data center. Oracle RAC is not supported inside of AWS so this is an excellent use case for running a hybrid architecture. Datapipe is one Direct Connect partner that offers RAC-as-a-service with usage based pricing for Oracle RAC. In addition to hosting Oracle RAC other AWS partners, like NetApp, offer hardware and software solutions in a Direct Connect facility.

- #42 These are six key concepts when it comes to using Oracle on AWS. Amazon S3: Plays a key role in disaster recover and high availability of Oracle databases and application servers. Amazon S3 can be used even if the production environment is running on premise. Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC): Amazon VPC is used to create a virtual network for each AWS customers. It isoften times used to extend the data center in to the cloud in a secure manner.Virtual Private Network (VPN) Tunnel: VPC does not imply the use of a VPN IPSec tunnel. However, most Oracle customers run VPN when using Amazon VPC. AWSDirect Connect: Can be used to provide dedicated connection from the enterprise to AWS, as well as hosting of Oracle Real Application Cluster (RAC).
