- Where data is hosted and processed in the cloud because its faster!
Why use AWS
- Elastic capacity
- Quick, easy to deploy
- No contract, no initial investment required, no capital exchange necessary
- Pay as you go (pay for the machine ONLY when you use it, you don't need to own the infrastructure - easy to turn resource on and off)
- Automation
Fun Fact: Dropbox is hosted and run entirely on AWS.
AWS Infrastructure
- Organised into multiple regions. Each regions have a multiple data centres. If one building burns down the other one still has the data. The customer does not feel interruptions and its highly redundant.
- Start your instances at a region closer to yourself.
- Edge Locations - these automatically help to distribute/serve the data (near Singapore there is Tokyo, Osaka, Hongkong) - a content delivery network
Setting up AWS Account
- Go to http://aws.amazon.com/
- You will need Name, Email, Credit Card (for laters), Phone number
- It will call you to confirm (and you will recite the number back to it and IT WILL MAGICALLY KNOW)
Amazon Elastic MapReduce (Amazon EMR)
- Elastic Map Services
