Q3. Discuss Amazon Dynamo Database Service in detail?


Amazon DynamoDB is a fully managed NoSQL database service provided by Amazon
Web Services (AWS). It is designed to deliver fast and predictable performance with
seamless scalability. Here is a detailed discussion of Amazon DynamoDB:
Key Features
1. Fully Managed Service: - Operational Management: AWS handles the operational
aspects such as hardware provisioning, setup, configuration, replication, software
patching, and cluster scaling.
- High Availability: DynamoDB automatically spreads the data and traffic for your
tables over a sufficient number of servers to handle your throughput and storage
requirements, ensuring high availability and data durability.
2. Performance: - Low Latency: DynamoDB is designed to provide single-digit
millisecond response times for reads and writes, making it suitable for high-performance
applications.
- Scalability: It can scale horizontally by adding more nodes to handle increased load. It
supports both automatic scaling and manual scaling.
3. Data Model: - Tables: Data in DynamoDB is organized into tables. Each table is a
collection of items, and each item is a collection of attributes.
- Items: An item is a group of attributes that is uniquely identifiable among all of the
other items. Each item is similar to a row in a relational database.
- Attributes: Attributes are the fundamental data elements, similar to columns in a
relational database.
4. Primary Key: - Partition Key: A single attribute that uniquely identifies each item in
the table. DynamoDB uses the partition key's value as input to an internal hash function,
which determines the partition (physical storage internal to DynamoDB) in which the
item is stored.
- Composite Key: Consists of two attributes, the partition key and the sort key. This
allows for more complex queries and data organization.
5. Secondary Indexes: - Global Secondary Index (GSI): Allows you to query on non-
primary key attributes. GSIs can have different partition and sort keys from the base
table.
- Local Secondary Index (LSI): Allows you to create an index with the same partition
key as the base table but with a different sort key.
6. Consistency Models: - Eventually Consistent Reads: By default, DynamoDB uses
eventually consistent reads, which may not reflect the results of a recently completed
write.
- Strongly Consistent Reads: Optionally, you can request strongly consistent reads,
which return the most up-to-date data.
7. Data Types: - Scalar Types: String, Number, Binary, Boolean, and Null.
- Document Types: List and Map.
- Set Types: String Set, Number Set, and Binary Set.
8. Streams: - DynamoDB Streams: Captures a time-ordered sequence of item-level
modifications in a table and stores this information for up to 24 hours. This can be used
for replication, triggering AWS Lambda functions, and more.
9. Transactions:- ACID Transactions: DynamoDB supports transactions, allowing you to
perform multiple operations across one or more tables as a single, all-or-nothing
operation.
10. Security:- Encryption: Data is encrypted at rest using AWS Key Management Service
(KMS).
- Access Control: Uses AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) to control access
to DynamoDB resources.
- VPC Endpoints: Allows you to connect to DynamoDB from your Amazon Virtual
Private Cloud (VPC) without using an internet gateway.
11. Backup and Restore: - On-Demand Backup: Allows you to create full backups of your
DynamoDB tables for long-term retention and archival.
- Point-in-Time Recovery (PITR): Provides continuous backups of your DynamoDB
table data, allowing you to restore to any point in time within the last 35 days.
12. Integration with Other AWS Services: - AWS Lambda: Can be triggered by
DynamoDB Streams to perform actions in response to changes in your DynamoDB
tables.
- Amazon Redshift: Can be used to analyze data stored in DynamoDB.
- Amazon S3: Data can be exported to S3 for further processing and analysis.
Use Cases
1. Web and Mobile Applications: DynamoDB is ideal for applications that require high
throughput and low latency, such as gaming, ad tech, and IoT.
2. Content Management: Suitable for managing metadata and user profiles.
3. Real-Time Data Processing: Can be used in conjunction with AWS Lambda and
DynamoDB Streams for real-time analytics and monitoring.
4. E-commerce: Handles high-velocity transactions and user data efficiently.
Pricing: DynamoDB pricing is based on several factors:
- Provisioned Throughput: Charges for the read and write capacity units you provision.
- On-Demand Capacity: Charges based on the actual reads and writes performed.
- Storage: Charges for the amount of data stored in your tables.
- Data Transfer: Charges for data transferred out of DynamoDB.
- Additional Features: Charges for features like DynamoDB Streams, backups, and global
tables.
Q4. Draw & explain the working of Amazon simple storage service(S3)?
Ans= Amazon S3 has a simple web services interface that you can use to store and
retrieve any amount of data, at any time, from anywhere on the web. S3 can serve as a
