AGILE & EFFICIENT
Agility – Speed – Experimentation – Culture of innovation
Elasticity, scalability, and reliability of computer resources
Global reach
New resources are a click away
Virtual Works – Cloud Computing enables operations as code (safely experiment) (operations control)
INFRASTRUCTURE
- REGIONS
- Geographical (Physical locations in the world)
- Contains Multiple Availability Zones
- AVAILABILITY ZONES (AZs) – Number of resources within those regions (Discreet Data Centers)
- One or more discreet data centers
- Redundant:
power/networking/connectivity - Housed in separate facilities
- Highly Available
- Fault tolerance:
- Applications operational during component failure
- Built-in redundancy of components
- High Availability:
- Systems “always” functioning and accessible
- Downtime is minimized
- Without Human Intervention
ELASTICITY
- Scale computing resources up or down easily
- Quickly deploy new resources
- Instantly scale up as the workload grows
- Instantly shut down resources that are no longer required
- Scale down and don’t pay for the infrastructure
ELASTICITY, SCALABILITY AND HIGH PERFORMANCE
- Tools to run a wide range of applications
- Auto-scaling and Elastic Load Balancing
- Scale up or down based on demand.
- Deploy your systems in multiple regions
- Lower latency and better experience
- Innovative services and cutting-edge technology
- Virtually any workload
SECURITY AND COMPLIANCE – Security policy can be formalized and embedded with the design of your infrastructure
- Customer retains control over region where data is located
- Security auditing often periodic and manual
- AWS cloud provides governance capabilities
- Industry-leading capabilities that meet the strictest security requirements
- DATA CENTERS
- State-of-the-art electronic surveillance
- Multi-factor access control systems
- Staffed 24×7 by trained security guards
- Access is strictly least-privileged basis
- Environmental systems minimize the impact of disruptions
- Multiple regions and Availability Zones enable resiliency
RELIABILITY
- High performing and reliable solutions
- Implement solutions quickly and with limited friction
- Reliability:
- Ability to recover from infrastructure or service failures
- Dynamically acquire resources to meet demands and mitigate disruptions
- Must have well-planned foundation
- Handle changes in demand
- Detect failure and automatically heal itself
- BENEFITS
- Achieve greater flexibility and capacity
- Reduce uncertainty of forecasting hardware needs
- Capacity and reliability that is difficult to match by on-premise solutions.
PRICING: Pay as you go
- Avoid dedicating costly resources to infrastructure
- Servers, Software Licenses, Facilities, Space and Power, Security etc.
- BENEFITS
- Redirect focus to innovation and invention
- Reduce procurement complexity
- Enabling elasticity
- Adapt to changing business needs
- Improve responsiveness to changes
- Reduce risk of overprovisioning or missing capacity
