Amazon Web Services (AWS)

AWS (Amazon Web Services) is a comprehensive, evolving cloud computing platform


provided by Amazon that includes a mixture of infrastructure as a service (IaaS),
platform as a service (PaaS) and packaged software as a service (SaaS) offerings.
AWS services can offer an organization tools such as compute power, database
storage and content delivery services.

AWS launched in 2006 from the internal infrastructure that Amazon.com built to handle
its online retail operations. AWS was one of the first companies to introduce a pay-as-
you-go cloud computing model that scales to provide users with compute, storage or
throughput as needed.

AWS offers many different tools and solutions for enterprises and software developers
that can be used in data centers in up to 190 countries. Groups such as government
agencies, education institutions, nonprofits and private organizations can use AWS
services.
How AWS works
AWS is separated into different services; each can be configured in different ways
based on the user's needs. Users should be able to see configuration options and
individual server maps for an AWS service.

More than 100 services comprise the Amazon Web Services portfolio, including those
for compute, databases, infrastructure management, application development and
security. These services, by category, include:

What is AWS?

of storage to choose from and is easily accessible as well. It can be used for storage
and file indexing as well as to run critical business applications.

2. Websites

Businesses can host their websites on the AWS cloud, similar to other web
applications.

3. Gaming

There is a lot of computing power needed to run gaming applications. AWS makes it
easier to provide the best online gaming experience to gamers across the world.

4. Mobile, Web and Social Applications

A feature that separates AWS from other cloud services is its capability to launch and
scale mobile, e-commerce, and SaaS applications. API-driven code on AWS can
enable companies to build uncompromisingly scalable applications without requiring
any OS and other systems.

Companies using AWS

Whether it’s technology giants, startups, government, food manufacturers or retail


organizations, there are so many companies across the world using AWS to develop,
deploy and host applications. According to Amazon, the number of active AWS users
exceeds 1,000,000. Here is a list of companies using AWS:

• Netflix

• AOL

• Hitachi

Advantages of AWS Services

The power of AWS services lies in the fact that it enables businesses to reach the
marketplaces with little initial investment. Here are some advantages of AWS services:

1. Security

There is a false misconception that data stored in a public cloud is not secure. On the
contrary, not only does AWS offer security tools that are cheaper than other
alternatives, but it is one of the most secure, extensive, and reliable cloud platforms.

2. Global Availability

AWS has 80 Availability Zones across 25 geographic regions global data centers.

2. Scalability and Flexibility

AWS offers unlimited flexibility and scalability on demand. This enables organizations
to plan their infrastructure roadmap on a subscription basis without full commitment.

3. Little Investment

AWS cloud services enable companies to save expenditures on extra software and
hardware. There is no physical data required, which ultimately lowers down operating
costs.
Input:-

Below are the steps we follow to create and attach the volume to an instance of AWS
Steps that show how to create and attached the volume

1. Go to the volumes submenu in the EC2 dashboard and click on the Create volume button.

2. Now choose the type of Volume and the size of it but make sure that it is less than 30GB.
3. After choosing the necessary options click on Create Volume to create a volume and you will be
shown an alert similar to the one below

4. We can see the volume created now in the volume list and as the volume isn’t currently in use it
shows available.
5. Now Right click on the volume we just created and select the option attach volume

Conclusion:-

The AWS Well-Architected Framework provides architectural best practices across


the five pillars for designing and operating reliable, secure, efficient, and cost-
effective systems in the cloud. The Framework
provides a set of questions that allows you to review an existing or
proposed architecture. Using the Framework in our architecture will help to produce
stable and efficient systems, which allow to focus on your functional requirements.
