UNIT 1: Introduction to Cloud Computing and AWS

Definition: Cloud Computing is the delivery of computing services such as servers, storage,
databases, networking, software, analytics and intelligence over the Internet on a pay-as-you-go
basis.

Characteristics of Cloud Computing:


1. On-Demand Self Service
2. Broad Network Access
3. Resource Pooling
4. Rapid Elasticity
5. Measured Service

Cloud Service Models:


IaaS provides virtual infrastructure.
PaaS provides development platform.
SaaS provides ready-to-use software.
Each model shifts responsibility from customer to provider progressively.

Cloud Deployment Models:


Public Cloud – Shared infrastructure.
Private Cloud – Dedicated environment.
Hybrid Cloud – Combination of public and private.
Community Cloud – Shared among similar organizations.
Cloud Security:
Shared Responsibility Model divides security responsibilities between cloud provider and customer.
Provider secures physical infrastructure.
Customer secures applications, data and identity management.

Introduction to AWS:
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a leading cloud platform offering compute, storage, database,
networking, monitoring and security services globally.
Regions and Availability Zones ensure high availability and fault tolerance.

AWS Pricing Concepts:


Pay-as-you-go model.
No upfront investment.
Elastic billing based on usage.
Cost optimization through right sizing and monitoring.
UNIT 2: Amazon EC2 and Scalable Infrastructure

Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) provides resizable compute capacity in the cloud.
It allows users to launch virtual servers known as instances.

Instance Types:
General Purpose – Balanced workloads.
Compute Optimized – CPU intensive tasks.
Memory Optimized – High RAM applications.
Storage Optimized – High disk throughput workloads.

Storage Types:
Instance Store – Temporary storage lost on stop.
Elastic Block Store (EBS) – Persistent block storage recommended for production systems.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI):


An AMI is a template containing OS, software and configuration required to launch EC2 instances.
Custom AMIs help maintain deployment consistency.

Auto Scaling:
Automatically increases or decreases number of EC2 instances based on workload metrics.
Ensures high availability and cost efficiency.

Elastic IP:
Static public IP address that can be associated with EC2 instances.
Ensures consistent public access.

Elastic Load Balancing:


Distributes incoming traffic across multiple EC2 instances.
Works with Auto Scaling for scalable architectures.
EC2 Basic Architecture

Load Balancer

EC2 Instance 1 EC2 Instance 2

EBS Storage
