## What is Cloud Computing?
|
||
|
||
- Cloud computing is the on-demand delivery of compute power, database storage, applications, and other IT resources
|
||
- Through a cloud services platform with pay-as-you-go pricing
|
||
- You can provision exactly the right type and size of computing resources you need
|
||
- You can access as many resources as you need, almost instantly
|
||
- Simple way to access servers, storage, databases and a set of application services
|
||
- Amazon Web Services owns and maintains the network-connected hardware required for these application services, while you provision and use what you need via a web application.
|
||
|
||
### The Deployment Models of the Cloud
|
||
|
||
| **Private Cloud:** | **Public Cloud:** | **Hybrid Cloud:** |
|
||
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
||
| Cloud services used by a single organization, not exposed to the public. | Cloud resources owned and operated by a thirdparty cloud service provider delivered over the Internet. | Keep some servers on premises and extend some capabilities to the Cloud |
|
||
| Complete control | Six Advantages of Cloud Computing | Control over sensitive assets in your private infrastructure |
|
||
| Security for sensitive applications | | Flexibility and costeffectiveness of the public cloud |
|
||
| Meet specific business needs | |
|
||
|
||
|
||
### The Five Characteristics of Cloud Computing
|
||
|
||
- **On-demand self service:**
|
||
- Users can provision resources and use them without human interaction from the service provider
|
||
- **Broad network access:**
|
||
- Resources available over the network, and can be accessed by diverse client platforms
|
||
- **Multi-tenancy and resource pooling:**
|
||
- Multiple customers can share the same infrastructure and applications with security and privacy
|
||
- Multiple customers are serviced from the same physical resources
|
||
- **Rapid elasticity and scalability:**
|
||
- Automatically and quickly acquire and dispose resources when needed
|
||
- Quickly and easily scale based on demand
|
||
- **Measured service:**
|
||
- Usage is measured, users pay correctly for what they have used
|
||
|
||
### Six Advantages of Cloud Computing
|
||
|
||
- **Trade capital expense (CAPEX) for operational expense (OPEX)**
|
||
- Pay On-Demand: don’t own hardware
|
||
- Reduced Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) & Operational Expense (OPEX)
|
||
- **Benefit from massive economies of scale**
|
||
- Prices are reduced as AWS is more efficient due to large scale
|
||
- **Stop guessing capacity**
|
||
- Scale based on actual measured usage
|
||
- **Increase speed and agility**
|
||
- **Stop spending money running and maintaining data centers**
|
||
- **Go global in minutes:** leverage the AWS global infrastructure
|
||
|
||
### Problems solved by the Cloud
|
||
|
||
- **Flexibility:** change resource types when needed
|
||
- **Cost-Effectiveness:** pay as you go, for what you use
|
||
- **Scalability:** accommodate larger loads by making hardware stronger or adding additional nodes
|
||
- **Elasticity:** ability to scale out and scale-in when needed
|
||
- **High-availability and fault-tolerance:** build across data centers
|
||
- **Agility:** rapidly develop, test and launch software applications
|
||
|
||
### Types of Cloud Computing
|
||
|
||
- **Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)**
|
||
- Provide building blocks for cloud IT
|
||
- Provides networking, computers, data storage space
|
||
- Highest level of flexibility
|
||
- Easy parallel with traditional on-premises IT
|
||
- **Platform as a Service (PaaS)**
|
||
- Removes the need for your organization to manage the underlying infrastructure
|
||
- Focus on the deployment and management of your applications
|
||
- **Software as a Service (SaaS)**
|
||
- Completed product that is run and managed by the service provider
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
### Example of Cloud Computing Types
|
||
|
||
- **Infrastructure as a Service:**
|
||
- Amazon EC2 (on AWS)
|
||
- GCP, Azure, Rackspace, Digital Ocean, Linode
|
||
- Platform as a Service:
|
||
- Elastic Beanstalk (on AWS)
|
||
- Heroku, Google App Engine (GCP), Windows Azure (Microsoft)
|
||
- Software as a Service:
|
||
- Many AWS services (ex: Rekognition for Machine Learning)
|
||
- Google Apps (Gmail), Dropbox, Zoom
|
||
|
||
### Pricing of the Cloud – Quick Overview
|
||
|
||
- AWS has 3 pricing fundamentals, following the pay-as-you-go pricing model
|
||
- **Compute:**
|
||
- Pay for compute time
|
||
- **Storage:**
|
||
- Pay for data stored in the Cloud
|
||
- **Data transfer OUT of the Cloud:**
|
||
- Data transfer IN is free
|
||
- Solves the expensive issue of traditional IT
|
||
|
||
### AWS Cloud Use Cases
|
||
|
||
- AWS enables you to build sophisticated, scalable applications
|
||
- Applicable to a diverse set of industries
|
||
- Use cases include
|
||
- Enterprise IT, Backup & Storage, Big Data analytics
|
||
- Website hosting, Mobile & Social Apps
|
||
- Gaming
|
||
|
||
## AWS Global Infrastructure
|
||
|
||
- AWS Regions
|
||
- AWS Availability Zones
|
||
- AWS Data Centers
|
||
- AWS Edge Locations / Points of Presence
|
||
- <https://infrastructure.aws/>
|
||
|
||
### AWS Regions
|
||
|
||
- AWS has Regions all around the world
|
||
- Names can be us-east-1, eu-west-3…
|
||
- A region is a **cluster of data centers**
|
||
- **Most AWS services are region-scoped**
|
||
|
||
### How to choose an AWS Region?
|
||
|
||
If you need to launch a new application, where should you do it?
|
||
|
||
- **Compliance with data governance and legal requirements:** data never leaves a region without your explicit permission
|
||
- **Proximity to customers:** reduced latency
|
||
- **Available services within a Region:** new services and new features aren’t available in every Region
|
||
- **Pricing:** pricing varies region to region and is transparent in the service pricing page
|
||
|
||
### AWS Availability Zones
|
||
|
||
- Each region has many availability zones (usually 3, min is 2, max is 6). Example:
|
||
- ap-southeast-2a
|
||
- ap-southeast-2b
|
||
- ap-southeast-2c
|
||
- Each availability zone (AZ) is one or more discrete data centers with redundant power, networking, and connectivity
|
||
- They’re separate from each other, so that they’re isolated from disasters
|
||
- They’re connected with high bandwidth, ultra-low latency networking
|
||
|
||
### AWS Points of Presence (Edge Locations)
|
||
|
||
- Amazon has 216 Points of Presence (205 Edge Locations & 11 Regional Caches) in 84 cities across 42 countries
|
||
- Content is delivered to end users with lower latency
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
- **AWS has Global Services:**
|
||
- Identity and Access Management (IAM)
|
||
- Route 53 (DNS service)
|
||
- CloudFront (Content Delivery Network)
|
||
- WAF (Web Application Firewall)
|
||
- **Most AWS services are Region-scoped:**
|
||
- Amazon EC2 (Infrastructure as a Service)
|
||
- Elastic Beanstalk (Platform as a Service)
|
||
- Lambda (Function as a Service)
|
||
- Rekognition (Software as a Service)
|
||
- **Region Table:** <https://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/global-infrastructure/regional-product-services>
|
||
|
||
## Shared Responsibility Model
|
||
|
||
- CUSTOMER = RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE SECURITY **IN** THE CLOUD
|
||
- AWS = RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE SECURITY **OF** THE CLOUD
