6. Let’s Get Started!

7. What is the “Cloud”? Fancy Hosting

8. Evolution of the Cloud  Website on a shared hosted server  Website on a dedicated hosted server  Virtualized servers with a management toolset  Abstract services:  Storage as a service  Database as a service  Applications as a service  Most are “pay as you go”

9. Cloud Service Providers

10. Some Cloud-based Solutions

11. Amazon Web Services  EC2 (Elastic Cloud 2) – virtualized servers  EBS (Elastic Block Storage) – disk volumes  S3 (scalable storage) – arbitrary storage  Glacier – archive / backup storage  RDS – relational database service  Elastic Beanstalk – application containers

12. RDS  Dynamically provisioned database storage  No operating system for you to access  Platforms:  MySQL  Oracle  SQL Server  PostgreSQL  “Mostly” pre-configured

13. Some cool features…  On-demand provisioning  Basic monitoring / metrics provided  Automated backups  Automated recovery  User initiated “snapshots”  Automated replication  Software upgrades provided

14. Some gotchas…  Failovers are NOT instant.  Can take up to 6 minutes. Maybe more, depending on database size  Only limited platforms / versions are supported.  Upgrades / patching requires downtime.  You set an allowable maintenance window. Amazon will upgrade sometime during that window.  Can suffer from “noisy neighbor” syndrome.  Performance issues are sometimes hard to pinpoint  Master-Master replication is NOT supported

15. RDS vs EC2+Database RDS  Quick provisioning  “Easy” management  Simple environment setup  Simplified replication strategy  No OS-level control  Limited granular fine tuning  Limited platform / versions EC2+Database  You manage it yourself  OS & storage overhead  Software / version management  Configuration  Usually more costly  More control over config / performance  Allows more complex setups Ease of usePower & Control

16. Some General AWS Concepts

17. Amazon Regions

18. Availability Zones REGION AZ1AZ2 AZ3AZ4 MS SS

19. Security Groups  A “virtual” firewall  Can create a security group and place resources inside them  Can set access rules between security groups  Access rules can specify source/destination IP addresses, port numbers, etc.

20. Security Groups Application Servers Cache Servers Database Servers Server Database

21. Amazon AWS Free Tier (first 12 months)  750 hours EC2 Linux “micro” server  750 hours EC2 Windows “micro” server  750 hours Elastic Load Balancer  30gb EBS Storage  5gb S3 Storage  100mb DynamoDB storage  750 hours RDS “micro” instance with 20gb of storage  750 ElastiCache
