#AWSomeDay notes - @Mechelen

Amazon ebs:
Blocks that acts like harddisk.
1gb to 16tb
Attached to ec2
Can be attached to one ec2, cannot share(or use samba)
99.999 availability
Os, db, critical apps typical usage
Typical use as harddrive, but not open to internet like S3

Glacier: long term storage for legal purpose, files can be retrieved in hours

Aws storage gateway:
Iscsi from premises to cloud storage

Aws import/export:
For already running applications
Phyiscally send data in harddisk, and it will be added to services
Also possible to get data in hd
Example is satellite mapping data like google maps

Amazon cloudfront:
is a cdn service not storage.
Dns name created, that maps to different ip adresses, depending on the lowest latency.
It finds the fastest way when you use the dns provided.
If cannot find in connected datacenter, it copies and caches there. Cached for 24 hours, configurable.
Can also cache dynamic content.
Price only on bandwith, cheaper than s3, ec2.
S3 becomes cheaper because cloudfront caches and uses only one connection to s3 in first request.
Ssl possible.
It is possible old caches data can stay 24 hours on cloudfront.
Purge cache with api is expensive, but cache headers can be used to limit cache timing.
"Incident response in the cloud" youtube video about dos attacts on cloudfront.

Ec2: it is a virtual machine
Os, cpu, memory, region/avalibality zone is enough to define.
You can buy pre installed image from marketplace.
About 900 available at the moment (like sap, adobe, ...)

Amazon route 53: load balancer
amazon redshift: datawarehouse database, big data.
dynamodb: nosql
amazon elasticache: memcache and redis

AWS Elastic beanstalk: deploy service with war file or zip file, automation of deployment.
docker is supported.

AWS Cloudformation:
executes the text based information of the inftrastructure, and executes that to create a clone for development, acceptance.
open/close the instances (it is best practice to shut down development machines, when not used)
