Service cloud computing platform for
developing and hosting web applications in
Google-managed data centers.
Google App Engine (GAE) is a fully managed
platform-as-a-service (PaaS) offering from
Google Cloud.
It allows developers to build and deploy web
applications and APIs without worrying about
infrastructure management.
Contd.,
An app is a piece of software which can run on
the computer, internet, phone or any other
electronic device. Google refers to their online
services as Apps. They also sell a specific suite
of services known as Google Apps.
Google's providing both SaaS and PaaS
solutions in cloud computing. Some of the
examples for SaaS solutions including Google
Apps which including Gmail, Doc, etc. and
PaaS includes Google App engine.

The App Engine offers a number of services that
enable you to perform several common
operations when managing your application.
The following APIs are available to access these
services :
 Mail
 Memcache
 Image manipulation:
1. Mail: Using the mail API, the developers can
send email messages.
2. Memcache: The Memcache service gives the
users the benefit of working efficiently by
providing high retrieval speed, even when
multiple users access the same application at the
same instance of time.
3. Image manipulation: The Image service
allows you to manipulate images of your
application. With the use of this API, you can
resize, crop, rotate and flip images in JPEG and
PNG formats. In the PaaS space Google is a key
player. App Engine is a platform to create, store
and run applications on Google's servers using
development languages as java and python.

Topic 2: Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a cloud
computing platform from Amazon that provides
customers with a wide array of cloud services.
Amazon first debuted its Amazon Web Services
in 2006 as a way to enable the use of online
services by client-side applications or other web
sites via HTTP, REST or SOAP protocols.
Amazon bills customers for Amazon AWS based
on their usage of the various Amazon Web
Services
Contd.,
Amazon Web Services is a secure cloud
platform, offering compute power,
database storage, content delivery and
other functionality to help businesses
scale and grow.
What is Amazon Web Services ?

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a collection of

remote computing services (web services) that
together make up a cloud computing platform,
offered over the Internet by Amazon.com.
The AWS Cloud infrastructure is built around
Regions and Availability Zones (AZS).
How it works?
 The user requests to the server by the method
such as e-mail either to register or to transfer the
domain.
 Your request which includes all information will
be sent to Amazon API Gateway restful service.
 Amazon Simple email service helps us to send
e-mail with minimal setup and maximum
deliverability. It is integrated with AWS
management console so that you can monitor
your sending activity. Amazon Simple Email
Service helps us by monitoring insecurity
⚫ API Gateway will transfer the collected user
information to an AWS Lambda function.
⚫ AWS Lambda function will generate an e-mail
and forward it to the 3rd party mail server using
Amazon SES.
⚫ Components of Amazon Web Service
architecture are Amazon API Gateway, AWS
Lambda, Amazon Simple Email Service. • API
Gateway is a front-door to access data, business
logic and functionality. API
⚫ Gateway will provide a restful API endpoint for
our AWS Lambda function.
⚫ API works at small as well as large-scale and helps
developers to manage spectator, create and provide
security to the API's.
⚫ AWS Lambda is a compute service that runs your
back-end code and responds to events such as
object uploads to Amazon S3 bucket, Dynamo DB
or in-app activity. The Lambda function will get all
the information from a user through API Gateway.
Advantages of AWS

Advantages:
1. Easy to use.
2. No capacity limits: Organizations launch
different projects and the guess what capacity
they will need.
3. Provides speed and agility.
4. Secure and reliable: AWS provides security and
also helps to protect the privacy as it is stored in
AWS data centers.
Disadvantages of AWS

1.Limitations of Amazon EC2: AWS sets

default limits on resources which vary from
region to region. These resources consist of
images, volumes and snapshots.
2.Technical support fee: AWS charges you
for immediate support.
3.Security limitations.

is a web service that provides resizable compute
capacity in the cloud. It is designed to make
web-scale computing easier for developers and
system administrators.
2.2 Amazon Machine Image
Amazon Machine Image (AMI) is a template for
software configuration (Operating System,
Application Server and Applications).
An AMI typically contains three things:
Template, permission to launch, block device
mapping.
1. Template: For the root volume for the instances
(An application server, an OS, and applications)
2. Permissions to launch: Which account can use
this AMI to launch instances.
3. Block device mapping: That specifies the
volumes to attach to the instance
2.3 EC2 Instances

Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2)

instances represent virtual machines. EC2
instances are launched by created by an Amazon
Machine Image (AMI). An AWS template that
describes and defines the OS and operating
environment for one or more EC2 instances of
one or more EC2 instance types.
EC2 functions:

1.Load variety of operating system.

2. Install custom applications.
