Core AWS Services
Cloud computing is trending in today’s ever changing world. All IT services need AI and ML solutions, along with analysis and this
can be done by using cloud services, such as AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, etc. The most advanced and trending cloud computing services is provided by AWS.
AWS has wide variety of services provided for small business to large scale enterprises. The best part of AWS, it has coordination and linkage of all services interlinked, so that you can have access to all the services under a single platform.
The Core AWS services are
EC2
VPC
S3
RDS
Lambda
Route 53
SNS
SQS
ELB and many more.
Each of these services can be linked to each other, thus making it easier for creating highly complex and customized services, in a simple manner.
Let us discuss five core services.
1. S3: This is a storage solution for all your files, having both structured and unstructured data. All services under AWS can access, process, analyze and store data efficiently from S3 and to S3 as well. S3 has features such as scalability, secure and efficient data manipulation. It makes it easier for the developer to work on very large scales of data with ease.
2. EC2: EC2 stands for Elastic Compute Cloud. This service provides computational solution to analyze and compute high level data with ease, and the service is divided into various instances, wherein the developer can choose an instance pertaining to his/her needs.
The instances are divided based on
a. The purpose of usage
b. The computational power required
c. The bandwidth of memory the system needs to cater to the needs of the developer
d. High powered computing requirements
e. Storage optimized instances
f. The budget of the Dev
g. The security required, etc.
3. RDS: Relational database has been used by many users for easy and optimize usage of data, in terms of rows and columns. This makes data retrieval easier and efficient, thereby reducing time to obtain the respective content from the database.
Amazon has Relational Data Service for the relational database management, which includes various instances. The instances are sub divided based on memory optimization, I/O or performance. It has features such as automated backup systems, snapshots capturing based on the user preference, and automatic database software updation.
It has wide variety of data engine supports, making it easier for the user to use this service with ease, and the devs need not break their heads to learn something new. Big database providers such as
a. Amazon Aurora
b. PostgreSQL
c. MySQL
d. MariaDB
e. Oracle
f. Microsoft SQL Server
are used in the RDS services
4. Lambda: The main issue with small scale and medium scale companies is the scarcity of computational power, since the machines are very expensive and they do not have a budget to buy such expensive machines. Professionals use high level and high computational demanding codes which will take forever to run on small computers. Lambda provides the required computational power to your codes, based on the run time of the codes. You just pay for what you use, and this makes it cost effective for the Devs to run heavy codes. Lambda provides coding platform for large number of applications, platforms, OS, for all types of devices, such as phones, computers, tablets, etc.
5. Route 53: For all who are seeking services related to Domain Name System (DNS), route 53 is the right services for you. DNS is crucial for hosting your websites, and without proper optimization of DNS servers, it will lead to failure of website loading. Route 53 helps to set up and configure optimized DNS to make sure that the web traffic moves smoothly between the endpoints. It can be further configured based on the customer’s needs.
You can buy and manage domain names and Route 53 will ensure the services are automatically configured to the DNS. Route 53 provides high scalability and availability, so whenever you have sudden traffic in your DNS channel, the customers are not disappointed with low performance, or unresponsive pages.
