 CLOUD COMPUTING
Cloud computing means using the internet to access
computing resources like servers, storage, databases, and
software — instead of buying and managing them on your
own computer or data center.

KEY FEATURES

On-demand: Access resources anytime.

Scalable: Increase or decrease resources easily.
No hardware needed: No need to buy your own servers.
Pay-as-you-go: You only pay for what you use.
 ABOUT
AWS (Amazon Web Services) is a cloud computing platform created by Amazon that provides
on-demand access to computing resources like servers, storage, databases, networking,
machine learning tools, and more over the internet. We can interact with it using:

Case Study
Accenture was engaged by a US-based financial organization to support a greenfield
deployment on AWS. The client required a secure, scalable, and centrally managed
infrastructure following AWS best practices, including a multi-account setup, centralized
networking and logging, and a centralized service catalog.

To meet these requirements within a tight deadline, Accenture adopted HashiCorp Terraform
as the Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tool, enabling consistent and repeatable provisioning of AWS
resources.

However, manual authoring of Terraform templates is time-consuming and error-prone. To

accelerate development, Accenture leveraged Amazon Q Developer, an AI-powered assistant
by AWS that provides intelligent code generation, contextual recommendations, security scans,
and troubleshooting capabilities.

By integrating Amazon Q Developer into their workflow, Accenture significantly reduced

development time (by ~30%) and improved code accuracy (up to 99%) .
Real Life Example
"AWS offers the most secure and robust public cloud infrastructure to operate mission-critical
SAP workloads. It enables enterprises to perform automated migrations with ease and
streamline operations through its large service portfolio.”

AWS delivers seamless access to mission-critical data with SAP Datasphere, SAP Analytics
Cloud, and SAP AI Launchpad.

SAP BTP services are running only on AWS.

Benefits:
Scalability: AWS's infrastructure allows businesses to scale their SAP workloads up or down
based on demand.
Cost Efficiency: The pay-as-you-go model ensures that companies only pay for the
resources they use, leading to potential cost savings.
 COMPONENTS
1. Region
A Region is a physical geographic location where AWS has
clusters of data centers.
Regions are independent to ensure data sovereignty,
compliance, and resilience.
Example Regions:
us-east-1 (N. Virginia, USA)
eu-west-1 (Ireland)
ap-southeast-2 (Sydney)
2. Availability Zone (AZ)
An AZ is one or more data centers within a region with independent
power, cooling, and networking.
Each AZ is physically separated but connected with low-latency
links.
Regions always have at least two AZs for redundancy.
Example:
us-east-1 has AZs like us-east-1a, us-east-1b, us-east-1c.

3.Edge locations
Global data centers for fast content delivery.
Part of CloudFront CDN.
Reduce latency by caching data near users.
Found in major cities worldwide.
3. Local Zones
Local Zones extend AWS services closer to end-users or edge locations,
minimizing latency.
Linked to a parent region but physically closer to customers.
Example:
Los Angeles Local Zone attached to us-west-2 (Oregon).

4. Global Network
All AWS regions are connected via a high-bandwidth, fully redundant
network.
This backbone provides secure, low-latency communication between
regions.
AWS CORE SERVIVES
AWS core services include essential
building blocks for cloud computing,
such as compute, storage, databases,
and networking, enabling users to
build and run applications on the
cloud. Here, we’ll look about some of
the most important services provided
by AWS.
 AMAZON EC2
EC2 stands for Elastic Compute Cloud a
service from Amazon Web Services (AWS).
EC2 is an on-demand computing service on
the AWS cloud platform. It lets you rent
virtual computers to run your applications.
You pay only for what you use.
Instead of buying and managing your own
servers, EC2 gives you a virtual machine,
where you can run websites, apps, or even
big data tasks. You can choose how much
memory, storage, and processing power you
need- and stop it when you’re done.
Think of EC2 like renting a room in a hotel
(the cloud). You get your own space (CPU,
RAM, OS), and you can use it for as long as
you want. You don’t have to buy the whole
hotel — just rent the room when needed.
 EC2 INSTANCE TYPES
5 Major Instance Types

 AMAZON S3
Amazon S3 is a Simple Storage Service in AWS Amazon S3 bucket is a fundamental
that stores files of different types like Photos, Storage Container feature in AWS S3
Audio, and Videos as Objects providing more Service. It provides a secure and scalable
scalability and security to. It allows the users repository for storing of Objects such as
to store and retrieve any amount of data at Text data, Images, Audio and Video files
any point in time from anywhere on the web. It over AWS Cloud. Each S3 bucket name
facilitates features such as extremely high should be named globally unique and
availability, security, and simple connection to should be configured with ACL (Access
other AWS Services. Control List).
 AWS LAMBDA
AWS Lambda is a powerful serverless
computing service that automatically runs
code in response to events, without requiring
you to manage the underlying infrastructure.
It supports event-driven applications
triggered by events such as HTTP requests,
DynamoDB table updates, or state
transitions. You simply upload your code (as
a .zip file or container image), and Lambda
handles everything from provisioning to
scaling and maintenance.
 AWS ELASTIC BEANSTALK
AWS Elastic Beanstalk is an AWS-managed service for
web applications. Elastic Beanstalk is a pre-configured
EC2 server that can directly take up your application
code and environment configurations and use it to
automatically provision and deploy the required
resources within AWS to run the web application. Unlike
EC2 which is Infrastructure as a service, Elastic
Beanstalk is a Platform As A Service (PAAS) as it allows
users to directly use a pre-configured server for their
application
 AMAZON GLACIER
Amazon Glacier stands out as AWS’s ultra-low-cost
storage service built specifically for backups and long-
term data archiving. It provides highly secure and
durable storage, ensuring 99.9% durability with
encryption to keep data protected. Glacier is optimized
for long-term storage and is much cheaper, but retrieval
times can be slower. If you need affordable, secure and
scalable long-term storage, Amazon Glacier is the
perfect choice.
 AMAZON RDS
Amazon RDS Is a relational database management
system along with the facilities of the AWS cloud
platform. It facilitates us in creating database instances
as per our requirements, i.e. resizable, variety of
database types, etc. it offers wide range data base
engines like the following: MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle,
SQL Server.
 AMAZON DYNAMODB
Amazon DynamoDB is a fully managed, serverless,
NoSQL database service provided by Amazon Web
Services (AWS). It's designed for high-performance
applications that require scalability and predictable
performance. DynamoDB supports key-value and
document data models and automatically handles the
complexities of storage, replication, and scaling.
 IDENTITY ACCESS
MANAGEMENT
In AWS (Amazon Web Services), Identity and Access
Management (IAM) is a service that helps you
securely control access to AWS resources.
AWS IAM allows you to:
Manage identities (users, groups, roles, and
policies)
Control access to AWS services and resources
It ensures that only authorized users and
applications can access specific resources under
defined conditions.
Roles vs Users vs Policies

Users : Individual identities with credentials (e.g., developers, admins).

Groups : Collection of users that share the same permissions.
Roles : Temporary access given to users, applications, or services.
Policies : JSON documents defining permissions (who can do what on which
resources).
MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication) : Adds an extra layer of security.
Fine-Grained Permissions : You can define access down to a specific
resource or action.

Example : You can create a user Anna, assign her to a group Developers,
and give that group permissions to use EC2 and S3. We can also require
MFA when Anna accesses the AWS console.
Why Security Is Important in AWS:
Data Protection : Ensures your sensitive and confidential data (e.g., customer
information, financial data) is not exposed or stolen.
Compliance Requirements : Helps meet regulatory standards (like GDPR, HIPAA,
PCI-DSS) by implementing secure configurations and access controls.
Business Continuity : Prevents disruptions or losses due to cyberattacks or
misconfigurations.
User and Access Control : Prevents unauthorized access through IAM policies,
roles, and MFA.
Cost Control : Avoids security breaches that could lead to data loss, legal
penalties, and financial damage.
Reputation Management : Maintains trust with customers and stakeholders by
securing systems against breaches.
AWS Security Services like:
AWS CloudTrail (activity logs)
AWS Config (compliance monitoring)
Amazon GuardDuty (threat detection)
AWS WAF (Web Application Firewall)
Monitor and audit regularly.
AWS Shared Responsibility Model:
Security of the cloud:AWS (e.g.,physicalservers, network
infrastructure).
Security in the cloud:User (e.g., data, IAM, configurations, apps)
