AWS Introduction
 Traditional IT Overview

Traditional computing refers to the conventional practice of managing and storing digital
information within physical data centers.

A user can only access data on the system where it is stored.

 What Is a Server?

A server is a program or a system that provides services to other

programs or users.

The physical machine that hosts the server application is typically located in a data center,
which is a facility designed to house and manage large-scale computing infrastructure.
 Introduction to Servers

Servers are essential components of computing systems that provide various features and
capabilities to support the efficient operation of applications and services.

Some of the features of servers are:

• Scalability: Servers provide the ability to handle an increasing

or changing number of devices, users, and workloads.
• Managing network workloads: Servers are equipped with high
processing power and can handle significant workloads.
• Reliability: Servers play a critical role in ensuring that key
systems stay online and accessible.
 Introduction to Servers

Some of the features of servers are:

• Resource sharing and collaboration: Servers allow multiple

users or personnel to access shared network resources,
enabling collaboration and teamwork.

• Cost savings: Utilizing servers can result in cost savings over

time.
 Differences Between Traditional IT and Cloud Computing

Traditional IT Cloud Computing

It refers to the transmission of various services,

It refers to the provisioning of various services
such as data and programs, across the internet
on a local server.
to various servers.

It occurs on physical hard discs as well as It occurs on third-party servers, which are
online servers. hosted by third-party hosting providers.

Users can only access data on the system It refers to a user's capacity to access data from
where it is stored. any location at any time.
 Differences Between Traditional IT and Cloud Computing

Traditional IT Cloud Computing

It is less cost-effective. It is more cost-effective.

It is less user-friendly. It is more user-friendly.

It requires a fast, reliable, and stable internet

It does not require any internet connection to
connection to access information anywhere at
access data or information.
any time.
 Cloud Service Models

SaaS

Software as a Service, also known as cloud application services, uses the internet to deliver
applications to users that are managed by third-party vendors.
 Cloud Service Models

PaaS

Platform as a Service, also known as cloud platform services, provides cloud components to specific
software and is mostly utilized for apps.
 Cloud Service Models

IaaS

Infrastructure as a Service, also known as cloud infrastructure services, is a self-service for

accessing and monitoring computers, networking, storage, and other services.
 Introduction to AWS Cloud

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

includes infrastructure as a service (IaaS) and platform as a service (PaaS) offerings.

AWS services offer scalable solutions including compute, storage, databases, analytics, and more.

 Features of AWS Cloud

Scalability in AWS refers to the ability of an application or system to handle

increased loads and adjust resources according to user demands.

• Vertical scalability refers to expanding the

instance's size.
• Horizontal scalability means increasing the
number of instances.
 Features of AWS Cloud

High availability refers to the ability of an application or system to remain

operational and accessible even in the face of failures or disruptions.
 Features of AWS Cloud

Elasticity is the ability of a system or application to automatically acquire additional

resources when needed and release them when they are no longer required.
 AWS Infrastructure

The AWS Global Cloud Infrastructure is designed to provide a secure,

comprehensive, and reliable cloud platform.

It is designed for high availability and reliability.

 AWS Regions and Availability Zones

• AWS Cloud Infrastructure is globally

distributed in the form of AWS Regions and
Availability Zones (AZs).
• AWS Regions are geographic locations around
the world with multiple physically separated
and isolated AZs.

• AWS Regions offer low latency, low packet

loss, and high overall network quality.
Major AWS Regions around the world
 AWS Regions and Availability Zones

Availability zone is a cluster of discrete data

centers in separate facilities with redundant
networking, connectivity, and power. They are:

• Connected to other AZs through high

bandwidth and low-latency links

• Highly available, fault tolerant, and scalable

• Safe from issues such as power outages,

lightning strikes, tornadoes, and earthquakes
