Let’s Get Started!

What is the “Cloud”?

Fancy Hosting

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”

Cloud Service Providers

Some Cloud-based Solutions

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

RDS Dynamically provisioned database storage No operating system for you to access Platforms:

MySQL Oracle SQL Server PostgreSQL

“Mostly” pre-configured

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

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

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 use Power & Control

Some General AWS Concepts

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.
