13. Compute
• Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) provides scalable virtual private servers
using Xen.
• Amazon Elastic MapReduce (EMR) allows businesses, researchers, data analysts,
and developers to easily and cheaply process vast amounts of data. It uses a hosted
Hadoop framework running on the web-scale infrastructure of EC2 and Amazon S3.

14. Networking
• Amazon Route 53 provides a highly available and scalable Domain Name System (DNS)
web service.
• Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) creates a logically isolated set of Amazon EC2
instances which can be connected to an existing network using a VPN connection.
• AWS Direct Connect provides dedicated network connections into AWS data centers,
providing faster and cheaper data throughput.

15. Content Delivery
• Amazon CloudFront, a content delivery network (CDN) for distributing objects to so-
called "edge locations" near the requester.

16. Storage
• Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) provides Web Service based storage.
• Amazon Glacier provides a low-cost, long-term storage option (compared to S3). High
redundancy and availability, but low-frequent access times. Ideal for archiving data.
• AWS Storage Gateway, an iSCSI block storage virtual appliance with cloud-based backup.
• Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) provides persistent block-level storage volumes for
EC2.
• AWS Import/Export, accelerates moving large amounts of data into and out of AWS using
portable storage devices for transport.

17. Database
• Amazon DynamoDB provides a scalable, low-latency NoSQL online Database Service backed by SSDs.
• Amazon ElastiCache provides in-memory caching for web applications. This is Amazon's
implementation of Memcached and Redis
• Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) provides a scalable database server
with MySQL, Informix, Oracle, SQL Server, and PostgreSQL support.
• Amazon Redshift provides petabyte-scale data warehousing with column-based storage and multi-
node compute.
• Amazon SimpleDB allows developers to run queries on structured data. It operates in concert with EC2
and S3 to provide "the core functionality of a database".
• AWS Data Pipeline provides reliable service for data transfer between different AWS compute and
storage services (e.g., Amazon S3, Amazon RDS, Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon EMR). In other words this
service is simply a data-driven workload management system, which provides a simple management API for
managing and monitoring of data-driven workloads in cloud applications
• Amazon Kinesis streams data in real time with the ability to process thousands of data streams on a
per-second basis. The service, designed for real-time apps, allows developers to pull any amount of data,
from any number of sources, scaling up or down as needed

18. Deployment
• Amazon CloudFormation provides a file-based interface for provisioning other AWS
resources.
• AWS Elastic Beanstalk provides quick deployment and management of applications in
the cloud.
• AWS OpsWorks provides configuration of EC2 services using Chef

19. Management
• Amazon Identity and Access Management (IAM) is an implicit service, the
authentication infrastructure used to authenticate access to the various services.
• Amazon CloudWatch, provides monitoring for AWS cloud resources and applications,
starting with EC2.
• AWS Management Console (AWS Console), A web-based point and click interface
to manage and monitor the Amazon infrastructure suite including (but not limited
to) EC2,EBS, S3, SQS, Amazon Elastic MapReduce, and Amazon CloudFront. Amazon also makes
