Intro - AWS Regions and Availability Zones

RDS Info!

• MySQL, MariaDB,Oracle, PostgreSQL and Microsoft SQL Server

• 5GB minimum, 6TB maximum

• Which database platforms are supported?
• What is the minimum and maximum size of your database?

Availability Zone B

This is a MySQL RDS Instance

Availability Zone A

EC2

• RDS handles time-consuming database management tasks (backups, patch management, and replication, etc)
• Native access to a MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, or SQL Server database
• Easily scale compute, storage, and disk performance
• Automated backups, DB snapshots, automatic host replacement, and Multi-AZ deployments.

This is an Amazon Machine Image

This is an EC2 Instance

EC2

• Template from which EC2 instances are launched
• Basic unit of deployment for EC2
• OS + Software
• Launch different instance types from same AMI
• You customize (install custom software, services, config, etc) and make your own AMI
• AWS Marketplace makes it easy to launch a number of popular applications (e.g, SAP, Tomcat, Perforce, MongoDB, etc.)

• Instances are launched into AZs
• 29 instance types (i.e., sizes)

- General purpose (T2,M4)

- Compute optimised (C4)

- Memory Optimised (R3)

- GPU (G2)

- Storage Optimised

- High I/O (I2)

- Dense Storage (D2)

• Linux, FreeBSD, and Windows Server
• Resizeable (i.e., change instance type)
• 3 billing models: On Demand, Reserved, and Spot

AMI

EC2

This is an Elastic Block Store volume

• Block storage attached to EC2 instances
• Attach multiple volumes to one instance
• Durable, point-in-time snapshots
• Easily detach from one instance, and attach to another
• Provision a specific level of I/O performance if desired

This is DynamoDB

• A fully managed NoSQL database service
• Fast and predictable performance with seamless scalability
• Store and retrieve any amount of data
• Serve any level of request traffic
• All data items are stored on Solid State Drives (SSDs)
• All data items are automatically replicated across multiple Availability Zones in a Region

US East

(N. Virginia)

This is Elasticache

This is Amazon S3

- Support for two engines: Memcached and Redis

- Compatibility with the specific engine protocol

- Detailed monitoring statistics for the engine nodes at no extra cost via Amazon CloudWatch

- Pay only for the resources you consume based on node hours used

REGION

• Object storage for the Internet
• An object can be up to 5TB
• Each object is stored in a bucket and retrieved via a unique, developer-assigned key.
• Unlimited storage, unlimited objects
• Natively online, HTTP/S access
• 99.999999999% durability via replication across multiple Availability Zones in a Region

Availability Zone D

US West

(N. California)

Availability Zone C

This is an Auto Scaling Group

• Scale EC2 capacity up or down automatically
• Respond to demand spikes
• Shed unneeded instances when demand subsides to save money
• Automatic scaling based on time of day, in response to metrics, or via API

This is an Elastic Load Balancer

• Distribute incoming traffic across your Amazon EC2 instances
• Balance between instances in multiple availabilty zones in the same region
• Detects unhealthy instances based on user-defined health check
• SSL termination with support for custom certificates
