 EC2 Payment methods

▪ On-Demand Instances let you pay for compute

capacity by the hour with no long-term
commitments.
▪ Reserved Instances give you the option to make a
low, one-time payment for each instance you
want to reserve and in turn receive a significant
discount on the hourly charge for that instance.
▪ Spot Instances allow customers to bid on unused
Amazon EC2 capacity and run those instances
for as long as their bid exceeds the current Spot
Price.

12
 Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS)
▪ Provides block level storage volumes (1 GB to 1 TB ) for use with Amazon
EC2 instances.
– Multiple volumes can be mounted to the same instance.
– EBS volumes are network-attached, and persist independently from the life of an
instance.
– Storage volumes behave like raw, unformatted block devices, allowing users to
create a file system on top of Amazon EBS volumes, or use them in any other way
you would use a block device (like a hard drive).

▪ EBS volumes are placed in a specific Availability Zone, and can then be
attached to instances also in that same Availability Zone.

▪ Each storage volume is automatically replicated within the same

Availability Zone.

▪ EBS provides the ability to create point-in-time snapshots of volumes,

which are persisted to Amazon S3.
– These snapshots can be used as the starting point for new Amazon EBS
volumes, and protect data for long-term durability.
13
– The same snapshot can be used to instantiate as many volumes as you wish.
 EBS Volumes
▪ Standard volumes offer storage for applications with moderate or bursty I/O
requirements.
– Standard volumes deliver approximately 100 IOPS on average.
– well suited for use as boot volumes, where the burst capability provides fast instance
start-up times.

▪ Provisioned IOPS volumes are designed to deliver predictable, high

performance for I/O intensive workloads such as databases.
– You specify an IOPS rate when creating a volume, and EBS provisions that rate for
the lifetime of the volume.
– Amazon EBS currently supports up to 4000 IOPS per Provisioned IOPS volume.
– You can stripe multiple volumes together to deliver thousands of IOPS per EC2
instance.

▪ To enable your EC2 instances to fully utilize the IOPS provisioned on an EBS
volume,:
– Launch selected Amazon EC2 instance types as “EBS-Optimized” instances.
– EBS-optimized instances deliver dedicated throughput between Amazon EC2 and
Amazon EBS, with options between 500 Mbps and 1000 Mbps depending on14the
instance type used.
 Amazon Simple Storage Service
(S3)
▪ Amazon S3 provides a simple web services interface that can be used to store
and retrieve any amount of data, at any time, from anywhere on the web.

▪ Write, read, and delete objects containing from 1 byte to 5 terabytes of data
each. The number of objects you can store is unlimited.

▪ Each object is stored in a bucket and retrieved via a unique, developer-

assigned key.
– A bucket can be stored in one of several Regions.
– You can choose a Region to optimize for latency, minimize costs, or address
regulatory requirements.
– Objects stored in a Region never leave the Region unless you transfer them out.

▪ Authentication mechanisms are provided to ensure that data is kept secure

from unauthorized access.
– Objects can be made private or public, and rights can be granted to specific users.

▪ S3 charges based on per GB-month AND per I/O requests AND

15
 Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)
▪ Amazon VPC lets you provision a logically isolated
section of the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud.
▪ You have complete control over your virtual networking
environment, including:
– selection of your own IP address range,
– creation of subnets, and
– configuration of route tables and network gateways.

▪ VPC allows bridging with an onsite IT infrastructure with

an encrypted VPN connection with an extra charge per
VPN Connection-hour.
▪ There is no additional charge for using Amazon Virtual
Private Cloud, aside from the normal Amazon EC2 usage
charges. 16

 Amazon Elastic MapReduce (EMR)
▪ Amazon EMR is a web service that makes it easy to quickly and cost-
effectively process vast amounts of data using Hadoop.

▪ Amazon EMR distribute the data and processing across a resizable cluster of
Amazon EC2 instances.

▪ With Amazon EMR you can launch a persistent cluster that stays up
indefinitely or a temporary cluster that terminates after the analysis is
complete.

▪ Amazon EMR supports a variety of Amazon EC2 instance types and Amazon
EC2 pricing options (On-Demand, Reserved, and Spot).

▪ When launching an Amazon EMR cluster (also called a "job flow"), you choose
how many and what type of Amazon EC2 Instances to provision.

▪ The Amazon EMR price is in addition to the Amazon EC2 price.

▪ Amazon EMR is used in a variety of applications, including log analysis, web

indexing, data warehousing, machine learning, financial analysis, 19scientific
simulation, and bioinformatics.
 Amazon Relational Database Service
(RDS)
▪ Amazon RDS is a web service that makes it easy to set up, operate, and scale a
relational database in the cloud.

▪ Amazon RDS gives access to the capabilities of a familiar MySQL, Oracle or

Microsoft SQL Server database engine.
– Code, applications, and tools already used with existing databases can be used with
RDS.

▪ Amazon RDS automatically patches the database software and backs up the
database, storing the backups for a user-defined retention period and
enabling point-in-time recovery.

▪ Amazon RDS provides scaling the compute resources or storage capacity

associated with the Database Instance.

▪ Pay only for the resources actually consumed, based on the DB Instance hours
consumed, database storage, backup storage, and data transfer.
– On-Demand DB Instances let you pay for compute capacity by the hour with no long-term
commitments.
– Reserved DB Instances give the option to make a low, one-time payment for 20each DB
Instance and in turn receive a significant discount on the hourly usage charge for that DB
 SQL Databases

▪ In relational databases (SQL Databases), ACID

(Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability) is a set of
properties that guarantee that database transactions are
processed reliably.
– Atomicity requires that each transaction is "all or nothing": if one
part of the transaction fails, the entire transaction fails, and the
database state is left unchanged.
– The consistency property ensures that any transaction will bring the
database from one valid state to another.
– The isolation property ensures that the concurrent execution of
transactions results in a system state that would be obtained if
transactions were executed serially,.
– Durability means that once a transaction has been committed, it
will remain so
21
 Amazon DynamoDB

▪ DynamoDB is a fast, fully managed NoSQL database

service that makes it simple and cost-effective to store and
retrieve any amount of data, and serve any level of request
traffic.
▪ All data items are stored on Solid State Drives (SSDs), and
are replicated across 3 Availability Zones for high availability
and durability.
▪ DynamoDB tables do not have fixed schemas, and each
item may have a different number of attributes.
▪ DynamoDB has no upfront costs and implements a pay as
you go plan as a. a flat hourly rate based on the capacity
reserved 22
 NoSQL Databases

▪ A NoSQL database provides a mechanism for storage and retrieval of

data that employs less constrained consistency models than
traditional relational databases.

▪ NoSQL databases only support Eventual Consistency which is a

consistency model used in distributed computing that informally
guarantees that, if no new updates are made to a given data item,
eventually all accesses to that item will return the last updated
value.

▪ NoSQL databases are often highly optimized key–value stores

intended for simple retrieval and appending operations, with the goal
being significant performance benefits in terms of latency and
throughput.

▪ Key–value stores allow the application to store its data in a schema-

less way.
23
– The data could be stored in a datatype of a programming language or an
 Amazon Elastic Beanstalk
▪ AWS Elastic Beanstalk provides a solution to quickly deploy and manage
applications in the AWS cloud.

▪ You simply upload your application, and Elastic Beanstalk automatically

handles the deployment details of capacity provisioning, load balancing, auto-
scaling, and application health monitoring.

▪ Elastic Beanstalk leverages AWS services such as Amazon EC2, Amazon S3, ….

▪ To ensure easy portability of your application, Elastic Beanstalk is built using

familiar software stacks such as:
– Apache HTTP Server for Node.js, PHP and Python
– Passenger for Ruby,
– IIS 7.5 for .NET
– Apache Tomcat for Java.

▪ There is no additional charge for Elastic Beanstalk - you pay only for the AWS
resources needed to store and run your applications.
