- 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. Apparently Amazon S3 says their durability is 99.999999999 (11 nines). It says it will only lose one file in a million years.
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)
Web Services
- Command Line / API / SDK / Web Console
- Managment Interface > Cross Service Features > AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)
"Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) is a web service that provides resizable compute capacity in the cloud. It is designed to make web-scale computing easier for developers.
Amazon EC2 presents a true virtual computing environment, allowing you to use web service interfaces to launch instances with a variety of operating systems, load them with your custom application environment, manage your network’s access permissions, and run your image using as many or few systems as you desire."
- Web <---> Database
- instance, software, availablity
- "Master" Database, and "Read Replica" automatically set up
