Study Notes

Global Deployment in AWS

  • Edge locations enable global deployment of compute and storage in AWS.
  • Edge locations are located in major cities and cities around the world.
  • They are used to deploy Amazon CloudFront, Amazon Route 53, AWS Lambda, and Amazon API Gateway.
  • This enables users to deploy their applications and content closer to their users, reducing latency and improving performance.

Cloud Infrastructure

  • Cloud infrastructure refers to the combination of hardware and software components required to deliver cloud computing services.

Key Components

  • Servers provide processing power, memory, and storage for cloud-based applications.
  • Storage includes disk storage, flash storage, and object storage for data storage and retrieval.
  • Networking enables communication between servers, storage, and users through routers, switches, and firewalls.
  • Hypervisors are virtualization software that enables multiple virtual machines (VMs) to run on a single physical server.
  • Management software automates and manages cloud infrastructure, including provisioning, monitoring, and scaling.

Types of Cloud Infrastructure

  • Public Cloud is owned and operated by third-party providers, offering on-demand access to a shared pool of computing resources.
  • Private Cloud is dedicated to a single organization, providing greater control and security.
  • Hybrid Cloud combines public and private cloud environments, allowing data and applications to be shared between them.

Cloud Infrastructure Models

  • Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) provides virtualized computing resources, including servers, storage, and networking.
  • Platform as a Service (PaaS) offers a complete platform for developing, running, and managing applications.
  • Software as a Service (SaaS) delivers software applications over the internet, eliminating the need for local installation.

Benefits

  • Scalability and flexibility allow for rapid adaptation to changing business needs.
  • Reduced capital and operational expenses minimize upfront costs and reduce maintenance overhead.
  • Increased reliability and uptime ensure high availability and minimal downtime.
  • Enhanced security and compliance features protect sensitive data and meet regulatory requirements.
  • Improved collaboration and accessibility enable users to work together more effectively from anywhere.
