Study Notes
Serverless Computing
- Serverless computing allows you to run code without provisioning or managing servers
- Focus is on innovating new products and features, rather than maintaining servers
- Benefits include scalability, where capacity can be adjusted by modifying units of consumption (e.g. throughput, memory)
AWS Lambda
- A service that lets you run code without provisioning or managing servers
- Pay only for the compute time consumed
- Charges apply only when code is running
- Can run code for virtually any type of application or backend service with zero administration
How AWS Lambda Works
- Upload code to Lambda
- Set code to trigger from an event source (e.g. AWS services, mobile apps, HTTP endpoints)
- Lambda runs code only when triggered
- Pay only for the compute time used
Containers
- Provide a standard way to package application code and dependencies into a single object
- Used for processes and workflows requiring security, reliability, and scalability
- Help ensure consistent application environments across different deployments
Container Orchestration
- Container orchestration services help deploy, manage, and scale containerized applications
- Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) and Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) are two services that provide container orchestration
Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS)
- A highly scalable, high-performance container management system
- Enables running and scaling containerized applications on AWS
- Supports Docker containers
Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS)
- A fully managed service for running Kubernetes on AWS
- Enables deploying and managing containerized applications at scale
- Maintained by a large community of volunteers, with AWS actively contributing
AWS Fargate
- A serverless compute engine for containers
- Works with both Amazon ECS and Amazon EKS
- Manages server infrastructure for you, allowing focus on innovating and developing applications
- Pay only for the resources required to run containers
