what is AWS
AWS is a secure cloud platform that offers a broad set of global cloud-based products.
what does aws provide on-demand access to?
-Compute resources
-Storage resources
-Network resources
-Database resources
-other IT resources
-and management tools
what is an aws region?
Geographic Location with Cluster of Data Centres
what is an aws availability zone?
Discrete Data Centre with redundant power, networking, and connectivity in an AWS Region
what are 3 aws infrastructure features?
Elasticity and scalability
Fault-tolerance
High availability
what does Elasticity and scalability entail?
-Elastic infrastructure; dynamic adaption of capacity
-Scalable infrastructure; adapts to accommodate growth
what does fault tolerance entail?
-Continues operating properly in the presence of a failure
-Built-in redundancy of components
what does high availability entail?
-High level of operational performance
-Minimized downtime
-No human intervention
what are some aws storage services?
-Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3)
-Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS)
-Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS)
-Amazon Simple Storage Service Glacier
what is amazon s3?
Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) is an object storage service that offers scalability, data availability, security, and performance. Use it to store and protect any amount of data for websites, mobile apps, backup and restore, archive, enterprise applications, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and big data analytics.
what is amazon EBS?
Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) is high-performance block storage that is designed for use with Amazon EC2 for both throughput and transaction intensive workloads. It is used for a broad range of workloads, such as relational and non-relational databases, enterprise applications, containerized applications, big data analytics engines, file systems, and media workflows.
what is amazon EFS?
Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) provides a scalable, fully managed elastic Network File System (NFS) file system for use with AWS Cloud services and on-premises resources. It is built to scale on demand to petabytes, growing and shrinking automatically as you add and remove files. It reduces the need to provision and manage capacity to accommodate growth.
what is
Amazon Simple Storage Service Glacier
Amazon Simple Storage Service Glacier is a secure, durable, and extremely low-cost Amazon S3 cloud storage class for data archiving and long-term backup. It is designed to deliver 11 9s of durability, and to provide comprehensive security and compliance capabilities to meet stringent regulatory requirements.
what are AWS compute services?
-Amazon EC2
-Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling
-Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS)
-Amazon EC2 Container Registry
-AWS Elastic Beanstalk
-AWS Lambda
-Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS)
-AWS Fargate
what is amazon EC2?
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) provides resizable compute capacity as virtual machines in the cloud.
what is Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling ?
Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling enables you to automatically add or remove EC2 instances according to conditions that you define.
what is Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) ?
Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) is a highly scalable, high-performance container orchestration service that supports Docker containers.
