Then the aws account is created.

2. CREATE THE USER AND CORRESPONDING USER GROUP.

2(a) .Open the aws management console in any browser and log in as the Root
user using your corresponding e-mail id and the password.

2(b). After entering into the aws management consol then search for IAM in
the services.

5
2(c).The dash board of the IAM is displayed as follows.

2(d). Then click on the user and then under this, click on the create new user and enter
the user name.

6
2(e). Then click on the next button.Click on the add user to the group, After
that click on the create group option.

2(f). Then the create user group with the user group name.After entering the name
you need to specify the permission policies as EC2 with read only access.

7
2(g). Click on the create user group and you will be redirected into the review and create page
.Under this click on the create user, then the user will be created.

3. ADD THE USER TO THE USER GROUP WITH ROLE BASED ACCESS.

 CREATE A COST-MODEL FOR A WEB
EXP NO:2 APPLICATION USING VARIOUS
DATE: SERVICES AND MAKE AN ANALYSIS FOR
COST-
BENEFIT.

AIM:

To create a Cost-model for a web application using various services and make a
analysis for Cost-benefit.

PROCEDURE:

Creating a cost-model for a web applicationon in AWS involves estimating the costs
of using various AWS services for the application. Here's a general process to create a cost-
model and do cost-benefitt analysis:

1. Identify the AWS services used by the web application:

Some common services used by web
applications include Amazon S3, Amazon EC2, Amazon RDS, Amazon
API Gateway, AWS Lambda, Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon CloudFront,
and Amazon SNS.

2. Estimate the costs of each service:

You can use the AWS Pricing Calculator
to estimate the costs of each service. The pricing calculator allows you
to enter the specifics of your usage, such as the number of instances,
storage size, and data transfer.

11
 3. Create a cost-model: Once you have estimated the costs of each
service, you can create a costmodel that summarizes the total costs.
You can use a spreadsheet or a cloud cost management tool to create
the cost-model.
4. Do cost-benefit analysis: after creating the cost-model, you can do a
cost-benefit analysis to determine if the benefits of using AWS
services outweigh the costs. You can compare the costs of using
AWS services to the costs of running the application on-premises or
using a different cloud provider.
Python code:

import boto3
session = boto3.Session(
aws_access_key_id='YOUR_ACC
ESS_KEY',
aws_secret_access_key='YOUR_S
ECRET_KEY',
region_name='us-east-1'
)

# Create a Cost Explorer client

cost_explorer = session.client('ce')

Model time_period = { 'TimeUnit':

'MONTHS', 'Start': '2022-01-01',
'End': '2022-12-31'
}
model granularity = 'DAILY'

model metrics = ['BlendedCost',

'UsageQuantity']

12
model group_by = [{'Type':
'DIMENSION', 'Key':
'SERVICE'}] # Get the cost and usage
data response =
cost_explorer.get_cost_and_usage (
TimePeriod=time_period,
Granularity=granularity,
Metrics=metrics, GroupBy=group_by
)# Print the cost and usage data
print(response) Output:
{

 COMPARE CLOUD COST FOR A SIMPLE
EXP NO:5 WEB APPLICATION ACROSS AWS,
DATE: AZURE AND GCP AND SUGGEST THE
BEST ONE.

AIM:
To compare Cloud cost for a simple web application across AWS, Azure
and GCP and suggest the best one.

OBSERVATION:
1. AWS: AWS others a rich array of tools, including databases,
analytics, management, IoT, security, and enterprise applications.
AWS introduced per-second billing in 2017 for EC2 Linux-based
instances and EBS volumes.

2. Azure: Azure has slightly surpassed AWS in the percentage of

enterprises using it. Azure also others various services for
enterprises, and Microsoft’s longstanding relationship with this
segment makes it an easy choice for some customers. While Azure is
the most expensive choice for general-purpose instances, it’s one of
the most cost-effective alternatives to compute-optimized instances.

3. Google Cloud Platform (GCP): GCP stands out thanks to its almost
limitless internal research and exporse. GCP is different due to its
role in developing various open-source technologies. Google Cloud is
much cheaper than AWS and Azure for computing optimized cloud-
based instances.

The best platform depends on your specific needs and requirements. If you need a
wide array of tools and services, AWS might be the best choice. If you’re looking
for enterprise services and have a longstanding relationship with Microsoft,
Azure could be your best bet.

31
CONCLUSION:
If you priorize innovacation and open-source technologies, GCP could
be the right choice. For compute optimized instances, GCP seems to be the
most cost-effective. However, it’s essential to understand your requirements
fully before making a decision

RESULT:

Thus, the comparison for Cloud cost for a simple web application across
AWS, Azure and GCP were implemented successfully.
