AWS
Compute
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2)
• Resizable compute capacity
• Complete control of your computing
resources
• Reduced time required to obtain and boot
new server instances
Amazon
EC2
Virtual machines vs. physical servers
Amazon EC2 can solve some problems that are more
difficult with an on-premises server

Amazon EC2 provides • Storage volumes
pay-as-you-go pricing Your AMI • Launch permissions
• A block device mapping
and a broad selection of
hardware and software
that’s available via the Examples
✓ Application server
AWS Marketplace by
✓ Web server
using Amazon Machine Instance Instance Instance ✓ Database server
Images (AMIs) ✓ Game server
Instance Instance Instance ✓ Mail server
✓ Media server
✓ Catalog server
Instance Instance Instance
✓ File server
Amazon EC2 instance families and names
Choosing the correct type is very important for
efficient use of your instances and cost reduction
Instance family Use cases
General purpose • Low-traffic websites and web applications
e.g., A1, T3, T3a, T4g, M6g, M7g • Small databases and midsize databases
Compute optimized • High-performance web servers

e.g., C5, C6g, C6a, C7g • Video encoding
Memory optimized • High-performance databases

e.g., R7g, R6g, X2gd, X2i, z1d • Distributed memory caches
Storage optimized • Data warehousing

e.g., I4g, I3, D3, H1 • Log or data processing applications
Accelerated computing • 3D visualizations

e.g., P5, P4, Inf2, G6, G5g, Trn1 • Machine learning

Unmanaged services compared to managed
services
Unmanaged Managed
You manage scaling, fault Scaling, fault tolerance, and
tolerance, and availability availability are typically built in
to the service
What is serverless computing?
Building and running applications and services without managing
servers
No servers to Scales Never pay Availability and

provision or manage with usage for idle fault tolerance built in
AWS Lambda
• Fully managed compute service
• Runs stateless code
• Supports multiple languages
• Runs your code on a schedule or in
response to events (for example,
AWS changes to data in an Amazon S3 bucket
Lambda or Amazon DynamoDB table)
Serverless application use cases

Key Takeaways
• EC2 instances – Servers in the cloud!
▪ Pay as you go pricing
▪ Scale in/out as needed automatically
▪ Different instance types (hardware) for your workloads
• Amazon ECS
▪ Orchestration for your container deployments
• Serverless
▪ You create the code, AWS manages the underlying compute
▪ Lambda – On demand, per-request pricing to run code
Storage
AWS storage options
Amazon S3 Amazon EFS
Scalable, highly durable Scalable network file storage
object storage in the cloud for Amazon EC2 instances
Amazon S3 Glacier Amazon FSx

Low-cost, highly durable Fully managed, cost-effective file
archive storage in the cloud storage offering the capabilities and
performance of popular commercial
and open-source file systems
Amazon EBS
Network-attached volumes that AWS Storage Gateway
provide durable block-level storage Hybrid cloud storage service that
for Amazon EC2 instances gives you on-premises access to
virtually unlimited cloud storage.
Amazon S3
Object-level Use cases

storage • Content storage and distribution
• Backup and archiving
Designed for • Big data analytics
99.999999999%
durability • Disaster recovery
• Static website hosting
Amazon
S3 Event triggers
File services use cases
Amazon EFS Amazon FSx for Lustre Amazon FSx for Windows
• Simplify Development • Accelerate machine learning • Migrate Windows file servers
Operations (DevOps) to AWS
• Enable high performance
• Modernize application computing • Accelerate hybrid workloads
development • Reduce Microsoft SQL Server
• Unlock big data analytics deployment cost
• Enhance content
management systems • Increase media workload • Simplify virtual desktops and
agility streaming
• Accelerate data science
Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS)
• Persistent block storage AWS Cloud
for instances
Monday’s snapshot EC2 EC2
• Protected through instance instance
Tuesday’s snapshot

Wednesday’s snapshot
• Different drive types Thursday’s snapshot
• Scale up or down in minutes Friday’s snapshot

Amazon EBS Volumes
• Pay for only what Create volume snapshots Detach and reattach volumes
for backup and recovery
you provision to other EC2 instances
• Snapshot functionality
• Encryption available
Key takeaways
AWS provides a variety of storage options
▪ Object (Amazon S3)
▪ File (Amazon EFS and Amazon FSx)
▪ Block storage (Amazon EBS)
• Customers are using our storage services to build:

▪ Home directories
▪ Data lakes
▪ Modern and business-critical applications
Databases
DIY (Unmanaged services) compared to
AWS database services (managed services )
Databases on AWS database

Amazon EC2 services
• Operating system access • Simple to set up, manage,
maintain
• Need features of specific application
• Push-button high availability
• Focus on performance
• Managed infrastructure
Purpose-built databases

▪ Nonrelational (Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon Neptune, Amazon
DocumentDB, Amazon Keyspaces, Amazon ElastiCache, Amazon QLDB,
Amazon Timestream)
• NoSQL databases are widely recognized for their ease of

development, functionality, and performance at scale
