Amazon AWS Cloud Overview • AWS Infrastructure • Regions • Availability Zones (AZ) • Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) • Public & Private Subnets • Application Tiers • AWS Services • EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) • S3 (Simple Storage Service) • Glacier (Storage Archive) • EBS (Elastic Block Storage) • ELB (Elastic Load Balancer) • RDS (Relational Database Service) • Redshift (Cloud Data Warehouse) • EMR (Elastic Map Reduce, Hadoop) • Route53 (DNS) • CloudFront (CDN) • CloudWatch (Monitoring) • AWS Market Place (AMI Store) Created by Tracey Flanders

  5. Regions • Region Code Region Name • ap-northeast-1 Asia Pacific (Tokyo) • ap-southeast-1 Asia Pacific (Singapore) • ap-southeast-2 Asia Pacific (Sydney) • eu-west-1 EU (Ireland) • sa-east-1 South America (Sao Paulo) • us-east-1 US East (Northern Virginia) • us-west-1 US West (Northern California) • us-west-2 US West (Oregon) • Regions are self-contained and independent of each other. A region is a independent geographic location that consists of multiple availability zones. us-west-2 (Oregon) Created by Tracey Flanders

  6. Availability Zones (AZ) • Typically there are 3 logical Availability Zones per AWS region. • One availability zone could consist of multiple datacenters. • Availability Zones are failure domains. • Build for failure. Spread your application across multiple Availability Zones. • Multiple IP Subnets are assigned to an Availability Zone. Availability Zone us-west-2a An availability zone consists of multiple datacenters that are isolated from each other inside a region. Availability Zone us-west-2b Availability Zone us-west-2c us-west-2 (Oregon) Created by Tracey Flanders

  7. Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) • VPC’s can and should span multiple AZ’s. • VPC’s will consist of multiple private or public IP subnets. • By default, VPC’s cannot talk to other VPC’s. VPC Peering solves that. • Each VPC will have one logical VPC router and VPC gateway. Both are consider SDN. Availability Zone us-west-2a A virtual private cloud represents a logical container to isolate your cloud resources. Availability Zone us-west-2b Availability Zone us-west-2c us-west-2 (Oregon) Created by Tracey Flanders

  8. Public & Private IP subnets Internet gateway HA NAT • Public subnets • Internet accessible, egress and ingress, Security Groups (firewall rules) permitting • AWS assigned “public” IP addresses • Elastic IPs are used to provide persistent public IPs • The VPC internet gateway provides public access • Private subnets • Accessible only from within the VPC • VPC assigned “private” IP addresses • Statically assigned IPs provide persistency • Access to the internet requires a NAT or proxy server Availability Zone us-west-2a IP Subnet (Public) There are 2 types of IP Subnets available inside a VPC. Availability Zone us-west-2b IP Subnet (Private) VPC router Availability Zone us-west-2c IP Subnet (Private) us-west-2 (Oregon) Created by Tracey Flanders

  9. Application Tiers • Tiers • Internet (DMZ) • Web • Application • Database • Tiers will span multiple IP Subnets and AZ’s providing application redundancy Availability Zone us-west-2a IP Subnet #1 (Public) An application tier represents a logical security isolation from other tiers. Access is permitted using Security Groups (i.e. distributed firewall rules) App-DB Internet Web Availability Zone us-west-2b IP Subnet #1 (Private) IP Subnet #3 (Private) IP Subnet #3 (Private) IP Subnet #2 (Private) IP Subnet #2 (Private) IP Subnet #2 (Public) Availability Zone us-west-2c IP Subnet #3 (Public) IP Subnet #1 (Private) us-west-2 (Oregon) Created by Tracey Flanders

  11. Amazon EC2 • What is EC2? • Elastic Compute Cloud • Virtual Servers called “Instances” • Infinitely scalable, compute on demand • Hosts run an opensource Xen-like hypervisor, AWS customized • Multiple “instance types” from “Micro” to “Extra Large” instances, scale compute vertically • “Instance types” can be changed, requires reboot. • On-Demand instances can be used anytime, but cost the most. • Reserved instances can be used when you know that you will need a certain amount of capacity. 1-3yrs commitments (Best cost option) • Spot instances offer an auction like request for EC2 instances, based on a bid price. Instances are terminated once you loose your bid. • Use Cases • Standard servers • Memory optimized servers, caching • Compute intensive servers, HPC • GPU optimized servers, graphics • Note: No automatic option to move instances between AZ’s • You must redeploy with automation, bootstrapping or cloning • (i.e. No VMware vmotion) Created by Tracey Flanders

  34. Summary: Recommendations • Training • Send colleagues to AWS training • Host potential boot-camps working with Developers • Automation • Do the heavy lifting of automating everything, no manual hands • Don’t double duty your team. If you wanted to automate, you would already be doing it • Build a small 1-2 person team to evangelize automation throughout the organization. Others may follow. • Build processes and procedures around automation • Consuming the Cloud • DO NOT place traditional applications into the cloud. More $$$ • Build applications that are cloud aware, SDK kits are available • Plan for failures, EC2 instances will disappear, AZ’s will haveintermittent issues, regions may will go offline because of natural disasters Created by Tracey Flanders
