What is the cloud?

Cloud computing enables you to stop thinking of your infrastructure

as hardware, and instead think of it (and use it) as software

What other advantages does the cloud offer?

Six advantages of cloud computing

Trade upfront Increase speed

variable expense

Stop spending
Benefit from massive
money on running and
economies of scale

Three ways to interact with AWS

AWS Management Console

Easy-to-use graphical interface

AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) $ aws s3 ls

Access to services by discrete command

Software development kits (SDKs)

Access services in your code
Compute

Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2)

• Resizable compute capacity

• Complete control of your computing resources
• Reduced time required to obtain and boot
new server instances

Amazon
EC2
Virtual machines vs. physical servers

Amazon EC2 can solve some problems that are more

difficult with an on-premises server

When using disposable resources

Data-driven Quick Free to make

decisions iterations mistakes

Amazon EC2 instance families and names

Choosing the correct type is very important for

efficient use of your instances and cost reduction
Instance family Use cases
General purpose • Low-traffic websites and web applications
e.g., A1, T3, T3a, T2, M6g, M5 • Small databases and midsize databases

Compute optimized • High-performance web servers

e.g., C5, C5n, C4 • Video encoding

Memory optimized • High-performance databases

e.g., R5, R5n, X1e, X1, z1d • Distributed memory caches

Storage optimized • Data warehousing

e.g., I3, I3en, D2, H1 • Log or data processing applications

Accelerated computing • 3D visualizations

e.g., P3, P2, Inf1, G4, G3, F1 • Machine learning
Amazon EC2 pricing

On-Demand Reserved Savings Spot

Instances Instances Plans Instances

• Per-second billing (Amazon Linux and Ubuntu only)

• Per-hour billing (all other OS)
Unmanaged vs. managed services

Unmanaged Managed
You manage scaling, fault Scaling, fault tolerance, and
tolerance, and availability availability are typically built
in to the service
What is serverless computing?

Building and running applications and services without

managing servers

No servers to Scales Never pay Availability and

provision or manage with usage for idle fault tolerance built in
AWS Lambda

• Fully managed compute service

• Runs stateless code
• Supports multiple languages
• Runs your code on a schedule or in
response to events (e.g., changes to
AWS data in an Amazon S3 bucket or
Lambda Amazon DynamoDB table)
 Lambda example: Create thumbnails

AWS Cloud 2 Amazon S3 sends an event

to a Lambda function when
object is created
