CHAPTER 3

AMAZON WEB SERVICES - BASIC

What is Cloud Computing?

3.1 Cloud computing is an internet-based computing service in which large groups of

remote servers are networked to allow centralized data storage, and online access to computer
services or resources.
Using cloud computing, organizations can use shared computing and storage resources rather
than building, operating, and improving infrastructure on their own.
Cloud computing is a model that enables the following features.
• Users can provision and release resources on-demand.
• Resources can be scaled up or down automatically, depending on the load.
• Resources are accessible over a network with proper security.
• Cloud service providers can enable a pay-as-you-go model, where customers are
charged based on the type of resources and per usage.

Types of Clouds

There are three types of clouds − Public, Private, and Hybrid cloud.

Public Cloud

In public cloud, the third-party service providers make resources and services available to
their customers via Internet. Customer’s data and related security is with the service providers’
owned infrastructure.

Private Cloud

A private cloud also provides almost similar features as public cloud, but the data and services
are managed by the organization or by the third party only for the customer’s organization. In
this type of cloud, major control is over the infrastructure so security related issues are
minimized.

Dept. of E&CE, RYMEC, Ballari 2020-2021 page 3

 Cloud computing with AWS

Hybrid Cloud

A hybrid cloud is the combination of both private and public cloud. The decision to run on
private or public cloud usually depends on various parameters like sensitivity of data and
applications, industry certifications and required standards, regulations, etc.

Cloud Service Models

There are three types of service models in cloud − IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS.

IaaS

IaaS stands for Infrastructure as a Service. It provides users with the capability to provision
processing, storage, and network connectivity on demand. Using this service model, the
customers can develop their own applications on these resources.

PaaS

PaaS stands for Platform as a Service. Here, the service provider provides various services
like databases, queues, workflow engines, e-mails, etc. to their customers. The customer can
then use these components for building their own applications. The services, availability of
resources and data backup are handled by the service provider that helps the customers to
focus more on their application's functionality.

SaaS

SaaS stands for Software as a Service. As the name suggests, here the third-party providers
provide end-user applications to their customers with some administrative capability at the
application level, such as the ability to create and manage their users. Also some level of
customizability is possible such as the customers can use their own corporate logos, colors,
etc.

Dept. of E&CE, RYMEC, Ballari 2020-2021 page 4

 Cloud computing with AWS

3.2 Architecture

This is the basic structure of AWS EC2, where EC2 stands for Elastic Compute Cloud. EC2
allow users to use virtual machines of different configurations as per their requirement. It
allows various configuration options, mapping of individual server, various pricing options,
etc. We will discuss these in detail in AWS Products section. Following is the diagrammatic
representation of the architecture.

Note − In the above diagram S3 stands for Simple Storage Service. It allows the users to store
and retrieve various types of data using API calls. It doesn’t contain any computing element.
We will discuss this topic in detail in AWS products section.

Load balancing simply means to hardware or software load over web servers, that improver's
the efficiency of the server as well as the application. Following is the diagrammatic
representation of AWS architecture with load balancing.
Hardware load balancer is a very common network appliance used in traditional web
application architectures.

Dept. of E&CE, RYMEC, Ballari 2020-2021 page 5

 Cloud computing with AWS

AWS provides the Elastic Load Balancing service, it distributes the traffic to EC2 instances
across multiple available sources, and dynamic addition and removal of Amazon EC2 hosts
from the load-balancing rotation.
Elastic Load Balancing can dynamically grow and shrink the load-balancing capacity to
adjust to traffic demands and also support sticky sessions to address more advanced routing
needs.

Amazon Cloud-front

It is responsible for content delivery, i.e. used to deliver website. It may contain dynamic,
static, and streaming content using a global network of edge locations. Requests for content
at the user's end are automatically routed to the nearest edge location, which improves the
performance.
Amazon Cloud-front is optimized to work with other Amazon Web Services, like Amazon S3
and Amazon EC2. It also works fine with any non-AWS origin server and stores the original
files in a similar manner.
In Amazon Web Services, there are no contracts or monthly commitments. We pay only for
as much or as little content as we deliver through the service.

Elastic Load Balancer

It is used to spread the traffic to web servers, which improves performance. AWS provides
the Elastic Load Balancing service, in which traffic is distributed to EC2 instances over
multiple available zones, and dynamic addition and removal of Amazon EC2 hosts from the
load-balancing rotation.
Elastic Load Balancing can dynamically grow and shrink the load-balancing capacity as per
the traffic conditions.

Security Management

Amazon’s Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) provides a feature called security groups, which is
similar to an inbound network firewall, in which we have to specify the protocols, ports, and
source IP ranges that are allowed to reach your EC2 instances.
Each EC2 instance can be assigned one or more security groups, each of which routes the
appropriate traffic to each instance. Security groups can be configured using specific subnets
or IP addresses which limits access to EC2 instances.

Elastic Caches

Amazon Elastic Cache is a web service that manages the memory cache in the cloud. In
memory management, cache has a very important role and helps to reduce the load on the
services, improves the performance and scalability on the database tier by caching frequently
used information.

Amazon RDS

Dept. of E&CE, RYMEC, Ballari 2020-2021 page 6

 Cloud computing with AWS

Amazon RDS (Relational Database Service) provides a similar access as that of MySQL,
Oracle, or Microsoft SQL Server database engine. The same queries, applications, and tools
can be used with Amazon RDS.
It automatically patches the database software and manages backups as per the user’s
instruction. It also supports point-in-time recovery. There are no up-front investments
required, and we pay only for the resources we use.

Hosting RDMS on EC2 Instances

Amazon RDS allows users to install RDBMS (Relational Database Management System) of
your choice like MySQL, Oracle, SQL Server, DB2, etc. on an EC2 instance and can manage
as required.
Amazon EC2 uses Amazon EBS (Elastic Block Storage) similar to network-attached storage.
All data and logs running on EC2 instances should be placed on Amazon EBS volumes, which
will be available even if the database host fails.
Amazon EBS volumes automatically provide redundancy within the availability zone, which
increases the availability of simple disks. Further if the volume is not sufficient for our
databases needs, volume can be added to increase the performance for our database.
Using Amazon RDS, the service provider manages the storage and we only focus on managing
the data.

Storage & Backups

AWS cloud provides various options for storing, accessing, and backing up web application
data and assets. The Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) 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.
Amazon S3 stores data as objects within resources called buckets. The user can store as many
objects as per requirement within the bucket, and can read, write and delete objects from the
bucket.
Amazon EBS is effective for data that needs to be accessed as block storage and requires
persistence beyond the life of the running instance, such as database partitions and application
logs.
Amazon EBS volumes can be maximized up to 1 TB, and these volumes can be striped for
larger volumes and increased performance. Provisioned IOPS volumes are designed to meet
the needs of database workloads that are sensitive to storage performance and consistency.
Amazon EBS currently supports up to 1,000 IOPS per volume. We can stripe multiple
volumes together to deliver thousands of IOPS per instance to an application.

Auto Scaling

The difference between AWS cloud architecture and the traditional hosting model is that AWS
can dynamically scale the web application fleet on demand to handle changes in traffic.
In the traditional hosting model, traffic forecasting models are generally used to provision
hosts ahead of projected traffic. In AWS, instances can be provisioned on the fly according to

Dept. of E&CE, RYMEC, Ballari 2020-2021 page 7

 Cloud computing with AWS

a set of triggers for scaling the fleet out and back in. Amazon Auto Scaling can create capacity
groups of servers that can grow or shrink on demand.

Key Considerations for Web Hosting in AWS

Following are some of the key considerations for web hosting −

No physical network devices needed

In AWS, network devices like firewalls, routers, and load-balancers for AWS applications no
longer reside on physical devices and are replaced with software solutions.

Multiple options are available to ensure quality software solutions. For load balancing choose
Zeus, HAProxy, Nginx, Pound, etc. For establishing a VPN connection choose OpenVPN,
OpenSwan, Vyatta, etc.

No security concerns

AWS provides a more secured model, in which every host is locked down. In Amazon EC2,
security groups are designed for each type of host in the architecture, and a large variety of
simple and tiered security models can be created to enable minimum access among hosts
within your architecture as per requirement.

Availability of data centers

EC2 instances are easily available at most of the availability zones in AWS region and
provides model for deploying your application across data centers for both high availability
and reliable.

Dept. of E&CE, RYMEC, Ballari 2020-2021 page 8

3.5 AWS – Account

How to Use AWS Account?

Following are the steps to access AWS services −

• Create an AWS account.

• Sign-up for AWS services.
• Create your password and access your account credentials.
• Activate your services in credits section.

Create an AWS Account

Amazon provides a fully functional free account for one year for users to use and learn the
different components of AWS. You get access to AWS services like EC2, S3, DynamoDB,
etc. for free. However, there are certain limitations based on the resources consumed.
Step 1 − To create an AWS account, open this link https://aws.amazon.com and sign-up for
new account and enter the required details.
If we already have an account, then we can sign-in using the existing AWS password.

Dept. of E&CE, RYMEC, Ballari 2020-2021 page 16

 Cloud computing with AWS

Step 2 − After providing an email-address, complete this form. Amazon uses this information
for billing, invoicing and identifying the account. After creating the account, sign-up for the
services needed.

Step 3 − To sign-up for the services, enter the payment information. Amazon executes a
minimal amount transaction against the card on the file to check that it is valid. This charge
varies with the region.
Step 4 − Next, is the identity verification. Amazon does a call back to verify the provided
contact number.
Step 5 − Choose a support plan. Subscribe to one of the plans like Basic, Developer, Business,
or Enterprise. The basic plan costs nothing and has limited resources, which is good to get
familiar with AWS.
Step 6 − The final step is confirmation. Click the link to login again and it redirects to AWS
management console.

Dept. of E&CE, RYMEC, Ballari 2020-2021 page 17

 Cloud computing with AWS

Now the account is created and can be used to avail AWS services.

AWS Account Identifiers

AWS assigns two unique IDs to each AWS account.

• An AWS account ID
• A conical user ID

AWS Account ID

It is a 12-digit number like 123456789000 and is used to construct Amazon Resource Names
(ARN). This ID helps to distinguish our resources from resources in other AWS accounts.
To know the AWS account number, click Support on the upper right side of the navigation
bar in AWS management console as shown in the following screenshot.

Conical String User ID

It is a long string of alphanumeric characters like 1234abcdef1234. This ID is used in Amazon

S3 bucket policy for cross-account access, i.e. to access resources in another AWS account.

AWS Identity & Access Management (IAM)

IAM is a user entity which we create in AWS to represent a person that uses it with limited
access to resources. Hence, we do not have to use the root account in our day-to-day activities
as the root account has unrestricted access to our AWS resources.

Dept. of E&CE, RYMEC, Ballari 2020-2021 page 18

 Cloud computing with AWS

How to Create Users in IAM?

Step 1 − Open the link https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/ to sign-in to AWS Management

console.
Step 2 − Select the Users option on the left navigation pane to open the list of all users.
Step 3 − We can also create New Users using the Create New Users option, a new window
will open. Enter the user-name which we want to create. Select the create option and a new
user will be created.

Step 4 − We can also see Access Key IDs and secret keys by selecting Show Users Security
Credentials link. We can also save these details on the computer using the Download
Credentials option.

CHAPTER 4

AMAZON COMPUTER SERVICES

4.1 AWS – Elastic compute cloud

Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) is a web service interface that provides resizable
compute capacity in the AWS cloud. It is designed for developers to have complete control
over web-scaling and computing resources.
EC2 instances can be resized and the number of instances scaled up or down as per our
requirement. These instances can be launched in one or more geographical locations or
regions, and Availability Zones (AZs). Each region comprises of several AZs at distinct
locations, connected by low latency networks in the same region.

EC2 Components

In AWS EC2, the users must be aware about the EC2 components, their operating systems
support, security measures, pricing structures, etc.

Operating System Support

Dept. of E&CE, RYMEC, Ballari 2020-2021 page 21

 Cloud computing with AWS

Amazon EC2 supports multiple OS in which we need to pay additional licensing fees like:
Red Hat Enterprise, SUSE Enterprise and Oracle Enterprise Linux, UNIX, Windows Server,
etc. These OS needs to be implemented in conjunction with Amazon Virtual Private Cloud
(VPC).

Security

Users have complete control over the visibility of their AWS account. In AWS EC2, the
security systems allow create groups and place running instances into it as per the requirement.
You can specify the groups with which other groups may communicate, as well as the groups
with which IP subnets on the Internet may talk.

Pricing

AWS offers a variety of pricing options, depending on the type of resources, types of
applications and database. It allows the users to configure their resources and compute the
charges accordingly.

Fault tolerance

Amazon EC2 allows the users to access its resources to design fault-tolerant applications. EC2
also comprises geographic regions and isolated locations known as availability zones for fault
tolerance and stability. It doesn’t share the exact locations of regional data centers for security
reasons.
When the users launch an instance, they must select an AMI that's in the same region where
the instance will run. Instances are distributed across multiple availability zones to provide
continuous services in failures, and Elastic IP (EIPs) addresses are used to quickly map failed
instance addresses to concurrent running instances in other zones to avoid delay in services.

Migration

This service allows the users to move existing applications into EC2. It costs $80.00 per
storage device and $2.49 per hour for data loading. This service suits those users having large
amount of data to move.

Features of EC2

Here is a list of some of the prominent features of EC2 −

• Reliable − Amazon EC2 offers a highly reliable environment where replacement of
instances is rapidly possible. Service Level Agreement commitment is 99.9%
availability for each Amazon EC2 region.

4.2 AWS – Auto Scaling

As the name suggests, auto scaling allows you to scale your Amazon EC2 instances up or
down automatically as per the instructions set by the user. Parameters like minimum and
maximum number of instances are set by the user. Using this, the number of Amazon EC2
instances you’re using increases automatically as the demand rises to maintain the
performance, and decreases automatically as the demand decreases to minimize the cost.
Auto Scaling is particularly effective for those applications that fluctuate on hourly, daily, or
weekly usage. Auto Scaling is enabled by Amazon CloudWatch and is available at no extra
cost. AWS CloudWatch can be used to measure CPU utilization, network traffic, etc.

Elastic Load Balancing

Elastic Load Balancing (ELB) automatically distributes incoming request traffic across
multiple Amazon EC2 instances and results in achieving higher fault tolerance. It detects unfit
instances and automatically reroutes traffic to fit instances until the unfit instances have been
restored in a round-robin manner. However, if we need more complex routing algorithms,
then choose other services like Amazon Route53.
ELB consists of the following three components.

Load Balancer

This includes monitoring and handling the requests incoming through the Internet/intranet and
distributes them to EC2 instances registered with it.

Control Service

This includes automatically scaling of handling capacity in response to incoming traffic by

adding and removing load balancers as required. It also performs fitness check of instances.

SSL Termination

ELB provides SSL termination that saves precious CPU cycles, encoding and decoding SSL
within your EC2 instances attached to the ELB. An X.509 certificate is required to be
configured within the ELB. This SSL connection in the EC2 instance is optional, we can also
terminate it.

Features of ELB

Following are the most prominent features of ELB −

• ELS is designed to handle unlimited requests per second with gradually increasing load
pattern.
• We can configure EC2 instances and load balancers to accept traffic.
• We can add/remove load balancers as per requirement without affecting the overall
flow of information.

Dept. of E&CE, RYMEC, Ballari 2020-2021 page 25

 Cloud computing with AWS

• It is not designed to handle sudden increase in requests like online exams, online
trading, etc.
• Customers can enable Elastic Load Balancing within a single Availability Zone or
across multiple zones for even more consistent application performance.

Features of Route 53

• Easy to register your domain − We can purchase all level of domains like .com, .net,
.org, etc. directly from Route 53.
• Highly reliable − Route 53 is built using AWS infrastructure. Its distributed nature
towards DNS servers help to ensure a consistent ability to route applications of end
users.
• Scalable − Route 53 is designed in such a way that it automatically handles large
volume queries without the user’s interaction.
• Can be used with other AWS Services − Route 53 also works with other AWS
services. It can be used to map domain names to our Amazon EC2 instances, Amazon
S3 buckets, Amazon and other AWS resources.
• Easy to use − It is easy to sign-up, easy to configure DNS settings, and provides quick
response to DNS queries.
• Health Check: Route 53 monitors the health of the application. If an outage is detected,
then it automatically redirects the users to a healthy resource.
• Cost-Effective − Pay only for the domain service and the number of queries that the
service answers for each domain.
• Secure − By integrating Route 53 with AWS (IAM), there is complete control over
every user within the AWS account, such as deciding which user can access which
part of Route 53.

6.2 Amazon Elastic Block Store

Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) is a block storage system used to store persistent data.
Amazon EBS is suitable for EC2 instances by providing highly available block level storage
volumes. It has three types of volume, i.e. General Purpose (SSD), Provisioned IOPS (SSD),
and Magnetic. These three volume types differ in performance, characteristics, and cost.

EBS Volume Types

Following are the three types.

EBS General Purpose (SSD)

This volume type is suitable for small and medium workloads like Root disk EC2 volumes,
small and medium database workloads, frequently logs accessing workloads, etc. By default,
SSD supports 3 IOPS (Input Output Operations per Second)/GB means 1 GB volume will
give 3 IOPS, and 10 GB volume will give 30 IOPS. Its storage capacity of one volume ranges
from 1 GB to 1 TB. The cost of one volume is $0.10 per GB for one month.

Provisioned IOPS (SSD)

This volume type is suitable for the most demanding I/O intensive, transactional workloads
and large relational, EMR and Hadoop workloads, etc. By default, IOPS SSD supports 30
IOPS/GB means 10GB volume will give 300 IOPS. Its storage capacity of one volume ranges
from 10GB to 1TB. The cost of one volume is $0.125 per GB for one month for provisioned
storage and $0.10 per provisioned IOPS for one month.

EBS Magnetic Volumes

It was formerly known as standard volumes. This volume type is suitable for ideal workloads
like infrequently accessing data, i.e. data backups for recovery, logs storage, etc. Its storage
capacity of one volume ranges from 10GB to 1TB. The cost of one volume is $0.05 per GB
for one month for provisioned storage and $0. 05 per million I/O requests.

Volumes Attached to One Instance

Each account will be limited to 20 EBS volumes. For a requirement of more than 20 EBS
volumes, contact Amazon’s Support team. We can attach up to 20 volumes on a single
instance and each volume ranges from 1GB to 1TB in size.
In EC2 instances, we store data in local storage which is available till the instance is running.
However, when we shut down the instance, the data gets lost. Thus, when we need to save
anything, it is advised to save it on Amazon EBS, as we can access and read the EBS volumes
anytime, once we attach the file to an EC2 instance.

Amazon EBS Benefits

Dept. of E&CE, RYMEC, Ballari 2020-2021 page 43

 Cloud computing with AWS

• Reliable and secure storage − Each of the EBS volume will automatically respond to
its Availability Zone to protect from component failure.
• Secure − Amazon’s flexible access control policies allows to specify who can access
which EBS volumes. Access control plus encryption offers a strong defense-in-depth
security strategy for data.
• Higher performance − Amazon EBS uses SSD technology to deliver data results with
consistent I/O performance of application.
• Easy data backup − Data backup can be saved by taking point-in-time snapshots of
Amazon EBS volumes.

How to Set Up Amazon EBS?

Step 1 − Create Amazon EBS volume using the following steps.

• Open the Amazon EC2 console.

CHAPTER 7

7.1 Advantages of Cloud Computing

Here is a list of some of the most important advantages that Cloud Computing has to offer −
• Cost-Efficient − Building our own servers and tools is time-consuming as well as
expensive as we need to order, pay for, install, and configure expensive hardware, long
before we need it. However, using cloud computing, we only pay for the amount we
use and when we use the computing resources. In this manner, cloud computing is cost
efficient.
• Reliability − A cloud computing platform provides much more managed, reliable and
consistent service than an in-house IT infrastructure. It guarantees 24x7 and 365 days
of service. If any of the server fails, then hosted applications and services can easily
be transited to any of the available servers.
• Unlimited Storage − Cloud computing provides almost unlimited storage capacity,
i.e., we need not worry about running out of storage space or increasing our current
storage space availability. We can access as much or as little as we need.
• Backup & Recovery − Storing data in the cloud, backing it up and restoring the same
is relatively easier than storing it on a physical device. The cloud service providers
also have enough technology to recover our data, so there is the convenience of
recovering our data anytime.
• Easy Access to Information − Once you register yourself in cloud, you can access
your account from anywhere in the world provided there is internet connection at that
point. There are various storage and security facilities that vary with the account type
chosen.

 Cloud computing with AWS

7.2 Disadvantages of Cloud Computing

Although Cloud Computing provides a wonderful set of advantages, it has some drawbacks
as well that often raise questions about its efficiency.

Security issues

Security is the major issue in cloud computing. The cloud service providers implement the
best security standards and industry certifications, however, storing data and important files
on external service providers always bears a risk.
AWS cloud infrastructure is designed to be the most flexible and secured cloud network. It
provides scalable and highly reliable platform that enables customers to deploy applications
and data quickly and securely.

Technical issues

As cloud service providers offer services to number of clients each day, sometimes the system
can have some serious issues leading to business processes temporarily being suspended.
Additionally, if the internet connection is offline then we will not be able to access any of the
applications, server, or data from the cloud.

Not easy to switch service providers

Cloud service providers promises vendors that the cloud will be flexible to use and integrate,
however switching cloud services is not easy. Most organizations may find it difficult to host
and integrate current cloud applications on another platform. Interoperability and support
issues may arise such as applications developed on Linux platform may not work properly on
Microsoft Development Framework (.Net)
