AWS Service Overview (2017)

Platform	Service	Summary	Usage
Compute	EC2	Virtual Servers in Cloud
	Auto Scaling	Scale your infrastructure automatically	Important aspects of EC2 Scaling is defined by Metrics by using CloudWatch We can setup rules to scale In or Out Autoscaling is integrated with Elastic Load Balancer
	Lambda	Run code in response to events	Serverless computing We can write code & trigger based on a event where the events can be from S3 uploads or DynamoDB update etc..
	EC2 Container Service	Run and Manage Docker Containers
	Elastic Beanstalk	Run and Manage Web Apps	Ideal for dev to upload the code & have the serice manage the rest. Supports Dockers, Jave, Python, Ruby, Go etc.
Storage	S3	Scalable Storage in the Cloud	Can store any number of objects where each object can be 5 TB You can grant permission for the objects to others Can be encrypted
	Glacier	Archive storage in Cloud	Low cost storage Retrevial takes time when compared with other storage service
	EBS (Elastic Block Storage)	Block Storage for EC2	EC2 instance needs Block Storage to stores file & hence EBS Volumes can be 16 TB of size Storage can be Magnetic or SSD Snapshots can be created for point in time backup
	Storage Gateway	Integrate On-Prem IT Environments with Cloud Storage	This is for integration between On-Prem OS & Cloud Storage like S3, EBS, Glacier. Virtual Machine should be installed in On-Prem DC, it represent itself as a iSCSI device & when we attach to the computer it acts as a Storage Gateway & then the data is replicated into AWS. You have configuration option like which data stores locally & which stays on AWS etc...
	Import/Export Options	Large Volume Data Transfer	Direct Connect: data can be transferred using VPN Data on Physical Disk can be shipped & also using AWS secure appliance (snowball)
Content Delivery	CloudFront	Global Content Delivery Network	Once we upload data to AWS & we need to share to customer. 52~ edge location across world
DB	RDS (Relational Database Service)	Managed Relational Database	Create most of the DB like Oracle, MYSQL, Maria DB etc. Just create DB & RDS will take care of rest. It takes care of Failover, automatic Patching, Backup etc. Just focus on your application & not the infrastructure.
	DynamoDB	Predictable & Scalable NoSQL Data Store	Its used for massive scale All SSD Storage Simple & cost effective High Throughput
	ElastiCache	In-Memory Cache	User can have a cache in front of the DB Supports Memcached or Redis Resize using API or Console Integrates with Cloudwatch
	RedShift	Data warehousing tool	Fully automated: There are tools which runs on back end to monitor this DB Massive scale: petabyte scale ODBC/JDBC Compliant Continuous Backup
	Aurora	Relational DB engine	Relational DB build for cloud Highly Available, Scalable Up to 64 TB DB size MySQL compatible
Networking	VPC (Virtual Private Cloud)	Create Private Network in AWS	Create user defined virtual Network Create your own topology & manage Use your own ip address range, ACL etc. Can be connected to On-Prem using VPN or Direct Connect Can be peered with other VPC in AWS
	ELB	Application Load Balancing	Supports load balancing of HTTP/HTTPS/TCP traffic to EC2 instance Detects & removes failed instance. Dynamically grows & shrinks based on Traffic. Integrates with Auto Scaling.
	Route 53	DNS & Domain Name Registration	Create a DNS entry for a website (register a domain name) Has global network of DNS servers Latency based routing to closest AWS endpoint Integration with other AWS service
	Direct Connect	Dedicated Network Connection to AWS	Works with AWS partnet to connect On-Prem to AWS Reduce bandwidth costs for high volume data transfer. Speeds from 50 Mbps to 10 Gbps per port.
Application Services			Used for cloud native application. Mostly used for Development. AWS provides SDKs
	SES	Simple Email Service	Email Sending Service
	SNS	Simple Notification Service	Push Notification Service Push messages to Devices (ex. Mobile Devices etc..)
	SQS	Simple Queue Service	Message Queue Service Used between differnet APPs for communication
	API Gateway	Build, Publish & Manage APIs	Integrates with Lambda functions Can run multiple version
	CloudSearch	Managed Search Service	Many app needs search service where we can upload Doc in JSON/XML form. Supports many languages
	Elastic Transcoder	Easy-To-use Scalable Media Transcoder	Lots of app needs to deal with Media either video/audio Integrates with S3 & CloudFront
	Simple Workflow Service	Workflow Service for Coordinating Application Components	Used to integrate multiple APPs like If-else statement..
Administration & Security
	Directory Service	Managed Directories in Cloud	Enables SSO for EC2 instance Compatible with Microsoft ADS Integrates with WorkDocs, IAM & Workspace
	IAM	Identity & Access Management	Creates Users, Groups & Roles to allow access to AWS Users are AWS users or Corporate Users
	Trusted Advisor	AWS cloud Optimization Expert	Checks your AWS accounts for Cost optimization, performance, fault tolerence & security
	CloudTrail	User Activity & Change Tracking	Used for Auditing purpose
	Key Management Service	Centralized Management for Encrypted Keys	Integrates with EBS, S3, RDS, Redshift, Elastic Transcoder, Workmail, EMR
	Cloud Watch	Resource & Application Monitoring	Monitor based on Metrics. Set Alarm threshold to trigger Auto Scaling Can troubleshoot using Cloud Watch Logs (stays for a week)
	AWS Config	Resource Configuration & Inventory	Used for tracking the changes in AWS Send a notification when there is a configuration changes
	Service Catalog	Find & launch Products using a Personalized Portal	Create a Catalog & be given to customers…
	CloudHSM	Hardware-based key storage for Regulatory Compliance	Storing hardware keys in the cloud for complaince Integrates with Redshift, RDS & own application
