Short bio about me… Andrew Simkovsky 15 years working with database technology
Oracle, MySQL/MariaDB, SQL Server, Postgres
Redis, MongoDB, CouchDB, Cassandra, Neo4j Worked across many industries
Consulting, Retail, Telecommunications, Energy
Data, Marketing, Gaming, Health care
Let’s Get Started!
What is the “Cloud”?
Fancy Hosting
Evolution of the Cloud
Website on a shared hosted server
Website on a dedicated hosted server
Virtualized servers with a management toolset
Abstract services: Storage as a service Database as a service Applications as a service
Most are “pay as you go”
Cloud Service Providers
Some Cloud-based Solutions
Amazon Web Services
EC2 (Elastic Cloud 2) – virtualized servers
EBS (Elastic Block Storage) – disk volumes
S3 (scalable storage) – arbitrary storage
Glacier – archive / backup storage
RDS – relational database service
Elastic Beanstalk – application containers
RDS
Dynamically provisioned database storage
No operating system for you to access
Platforms: MySQL Oracle SQL Server PostgreSQL
“Mostly” pre-configured
Some cool features…
On-demand provisioning
Basic monitoring / metrics provided
Automated backups
Automated recovery
User initiated “snapshots”
Automated replication
Software upgrades provided
Some gotchas…
Failovers are NOT instant. Can take up to 6 minutes. Maybe more, depending on
database size
Only limited platforms / versions are supported.
Upgrades / patching requires downtime. You set an allowable maintenance window. Amazon will
upgrade sometime during that window.
Can suffer from “noisy neighbor” syndrome.
Performance issues are sometimes hard to pinpoint
Master-Master replication is NOT supported
RDS vs EC2+Database
RDS
Quick provisioning
“Easy” management
Simple environment setup
Simplified replication strategy
No OS-level control
Limited granular fine tuning
Limited platform / versions
EC2+Database
You manage it yourself
OS & storage overhead
Software / version management
Configuration
Usually more costly
More control over config / performance
Allows more complex setups
Ease of use Power & Control
Some General AWS Concepts
Amazon Regions
Availability Zones
REGION
AZ1 AZ2
AZ3 AZ4
M S
SS
Security Groups
A “virtual” firewall
Can create a security group and place resources inside them
Can set access rules between security groups
Access rules can specify source/destination IP addresses, port numbers, etc.
Security Groups
Application Servers
Cache Servers
