Brief History of AWS • 2003 - Chris Pinkham & Benjamin Black • Suggested selling excess computing power as a service • 2004 SQS is launched • Simple Queue Service • 2006 AWS Officially Launches • 2017 • AWS Revenue $17. 46 billion • Over 70% of Amazons operating incomes from AWS

Cloud Computing • On-demand delivery of through a cloud services platform via the Internet • • Compute power Database storage Applications Other IT resources • Pay-as-you-go pricing.

Cloud Computing • Advantages • Provides rapid access to flexible and low-cost IT resources • Does not need to make large upfront investments in hardware • Does not require a lot of time on the heavy lifting of managing that hardware • Provision exactly the right type and size of computing resource

Cloud Computing • Advantages • • • Trade capital expense for variable expenses Benefit from massive economies of scale Stop guessing capacity Increase speed and agility Stop spending money running and maintaining data centers Go global in minutes

Types of Cloud Computing • Infrastructure as a Service (Iaa. S) • Provide access to networking features, computers (virtual or on dedicated hardware), and data storage space. • Platform as a Service (Paa. S) • Provides a platform allowing customers to develop, run, and manage applications. • Software as a Service (Saa. S) • Provides you with a completed product that is run and managed by the service provider. • Usually end-user applications.

Cloud Computing Deployment Models • Cloud • Fully deployed in the cloud and all parts of the application run in the cloud. • Hybrid • Connect infrastructure and applications between cloud-based resources and existing resources that are not located in the cloud. • On-premises • The deployment of resources on-premises, using virtualization and resource management tools, is sometimes called the “private cloud. ”

AWS Global Infrastructure • AWS serves over a million active customers in more than 190 countries. • The AWS Cloud infrastructure is built around AWS Regions and Availability Zones.

AWS Global Infrastructure • Region • Geographical Area • A physical location with multiple Availability Zones. • Two more Availability Zones • Availability Zone • Data Center • Edge Location • Content delivery network end point • Cache location

AWS Global Infrastructure • Region • Multiple, physically separated and isolated Availability Zones. • Connected with low latency • High throughput • Highly redundant networking • Provide efficient way to design and implement: • Applications • Databases
