Amazon EC2 - answerWay to obtain virtual servers ("Instance") in the cloud (quickly
and inexpensively)
designed to make web-scale computing easier for developers and system admins
How it works
choose template (windows/linux) and quantity
Up within minutes
Once you are done using them you stop paying for them
"Instances" range in size (small to cluster compute for high performance)
Choose based on CPU, Memory, Storage customized to your needs
Security features
located in a virtual private cloud (VPC) which you control
connect securely to your on-prem hardware via VPN
Comes with temporary storage
Pricing - answerOnDemand
pay as you go (only for what you use)
Reserved instance
discount compared to ondemand for a 1 time payment
spot instance
you name what you want to pay
Amazon EC2 Container Service - answerhighly scalable container management service
to run apps on a managed cluster of EC2 instances
Basically simplifies cluster management
Amazon Lambda - answerRuns your code in response of an event (ie an image upload
or website-click)
Scales automatically
Auto Scaling - answerscale up/down on conditions you define
best for apps that experience hourly, daily, or weekly variations in use
Amazon VPC (Virtual Private Cloud) - answeryou provision a private, isolated section of
the Amazon Cloud
you can launch AWS resources in a virtual network that you define
meant so you can reflect a network in your own datacenter
Easily customizable
make a public facing subnet, for example
Elastic Load Balancing - answerautomatically distributes incoming app traffic across
multiple instances
, Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) - answerfully redundant storage (any size)
create a bucket in minutes
Amazon Glacier - answerlow cost secure storage for data archiving and backup
can be used for offsite enterprise information archiving, media assets or scientific data
Amazon EBS (Elastic Block Storage) - answerprovides block level storage volumes for
use with Amazon EC2 instances
Off-instance storage that persists independently from the life of an instance
consistent and low-latency performance
Scale usage up/down in minutes
AWS Import/Export - answeraccelerates moving large amounts of data in/out of AWS
using portable storage devices for transport
AWS Storage Getaway - answerservice to connect on-premise IT environment to AWS
seamlessly
3 configs supported
Gateway-Cached Volumes
Gateway-Stored Volumes
Gateway-Virtual Tape Library (VTL)
