Amazon Web Services Publication date: August 27, 2024 (Document history) Amazon Web Services oﬀers a broad set of global cloud-based products including compute, storage, databases, analytics, networking, mobile, developer tools, management tools, IoT, security, and enterprise applications: on-demand, available in seconds, with pay-as-you-go pricing. From data warehousing to deployment tools, directories to content delivery, over 200 AWS services are available. New services can be provisioned quickly, without the upfront ﬁxed expense. This allows enterprises, start-ups, small and medium-sized businesses, and customers in the public sector to access the building blocks they need to respond quickly to changing business requirements. This whitepaper provides you with an overview of the beneﬁts of the AWS Cloud and introduces you to the services that make up the platform. Introduction In 2006, Amazon Web Services (AWS) began oﬀering IT infrastructure services to businesses as web services—now commonly known as cloud computing. One of the key beneﬁts of cloud computing is the opportunity to replace upfront capital infrastructure expenses with low variable costs that scale with your business. With the cloud, businesses no longer need to plan for and procure servers and other IT infrastructure weeks or months in advance. Instead, they can instantly spin up hundreds or thousands of servers in minutes and deliver results faster. Today, AWS provides a highly reliable, scalable, low-cost infrastructure platform in the cloud that powers hundreds of thousands of businesses in 190 countries around the world. This video explores how millions of customers use AWS to take advantage of the eﬃciencies of cloud computing: What is AWS? | Amazon Web Services Introduction 1 Overview of Amazon Web Services AWS Whitepaper What is cloud computing? Cloud computing is the on-demand delivery of compute power, database, storage, applications, and other IT resources through a cloud services platform via the internet with pay-as-you-go pricing. Whether you are running applications that share photos to millions of mobile users or you’re supporting the critical operations of your business, a cloud services platform provides rapid access to ﬂexible and low-cost IT resources. With cloud computing, you don’t need to make large upfront investments in hardware and spend a lot of time on the heavy lifting of managing that hardware. Instead, you can provision exactly the right type and size of computing resources you need to power your newest bright idea or operate your IT department. You can access as many resources as you need, almost instantly, and only pay for what you use. Cloud computing provides a simple way to access servers, storage, databases and a broad set of application services over the internet. A cloud services platform such as Amazon Web Services owns and maintains the network-connected hardware required for these application services, while you provision and use what you need via a web application. 2 Overview of Amazon Web Services AWS Whitepaper Six advantages of cloud computing Trade ﬁxed expense for variable expense – Instead of having to invest heavily in data centers and servers before you know how you’re going to use them, you can pay only when you consume computing resources, and pay only for how much you consume. Beneﬁt from massive economies of scale – By using cloud computing, you can achieve a lower variable cost than you can get on your own. Because usage from hundreds of thousands of customers is aggregated in the cloud, providers such as AWS can achieve higher economies of scale, which translates into lower pay as-you-go prices. Stop guessing capacity – Eliminate guessing on your infrastructure capacity needs. When you make a capacity decision prior to deploying an application, you often end up either sitting on expensive idle resources or dealing with limited capacity. With cloud computing, these problems go away. You can access as much or as little capacity as you need, and scale up and down as required with only a few minutes’ notice. Increase speed and agility – In a cloud computing environment, new IT resources are only a click away, which means that you reduce the time to make those resources available to your developers from weeks to just minutes. This results in a dramatic increase in agility for the organization, since the cost and time it takes to experiment and develop is signiﬁcantly lower. Stop spending money running and maintaining data centers – Focus on projects that diﬀerentiate your business, not the infrastructure. Cloud computing lets you focus on your own customers, rather than on the heavy lifting of racking, stacking, and powering servers. Go global in minutes – Easily deploy your application in multiple regions around the world with just a few clicks. This means you can provide lower latency and a better experience for your customers at minimal cost. 3 Overview of Amazon Web Services AWS Whitepaper Types of cloud computing Cloud computing provides developers and IT departments with the ability to focus on what matters most and avoid undiﬀerentiated work such as procurement, maintenance, and capacity planning. As cloud computing has grown in popularity, several diﬀerent models and deployment strategies have emerged to help meet speciﬁc needs of diﬀerent users. Each type provides you with diﬀerent levels of control, ﬂexibility, and management. Deployment models Cloud A cloud-based application is fully deployed in the cloud and all parts of the application run in the cloud. Applications in the cloud have either been created in the cloud or have been migrated from an existing infrastructure to take advantage of the beneﬁts of cloud computing. Cloud- based applications can be built on low-level infrastructure pieces or can use higher level services that provide abstraction from the management, architecting, and scaling requirements of core infrastructure. Private cloud (on-premises) The deployment of resources on-premises, using virtualization and resource management tools, is sometimes called the private cloud. On-premises deployment doesn’t provide many of the beneﬁts of cloud computing but it is sometimes sought for its ability to provide dedicated resources. In most cases, this deployment model is the same as legacy IT infrastructure while using application management and virtualization technologies to try and increase resource utilization. For more information on how AWS can help, refer to Use case: Cloud services on-premises. Hybrid A hybrid deployment is a way to connect infrastructure and applications between cloud-based resources and existing resources that are not located in the cloud. The most common method of hybrid deployment is between the cloud and existing on-premises infrastructure to extend, and grow, an organization's infrastructure into the cloud while connecting cloud resources to the internal system. For more information on how AWS can help you with your hybrid deployment, visit our Hybrid Cloud with AWS page. Deployment models 4 Overview of Amazon Web Services AWS Whitepaper Global infrastructure The AWS Cloud infrastructure is built around AWS Regions and Availability Zones. An AWS Region is a physical location in the world where we have multiple Availability Zones. Availability Zones consist of one or more discrete data centers, each with redundant power, networking, and connectivity, housed in separate facilities. These Availability Zones oﬀer you the ability to operate production applications and databases that are more highly available, fault tolerant, and scalable than would be possible from a single data center. For the latest information on the AWS Cloud Availability Zones and AWS Regions, refer to AWS Global Infrastructure. 5 Overview of Amazon Web Services AWS Whitepaper Security and compliance Security Cloud security at AWS is the highest priority. As organizations embrace the scalability and ﬂexibility of the cloud, AWS is helping them evolve security, identity, and compliance into key business enablers. AWS builds security into the core of our cloud infrastructure, and oﬀers foundational services to help organizations meet their unique security requirements in the cloud. As an AWS customer, you will beneﬁt from a data center and network architecture built to meet the requirements of the most security-sensitive organizations. Security in the cloud is much like security in your on-premises data centers—only without the costs of maintaining facilities and hardware. In the cloud, you don’t have to manage physical servers or storage devices. Instead, you use software-based security tools to monitor and protect the ﬂow of information into and out of your cloud resources. An advantage of the AWS Cloud is that it allows you to scale and innovate, while maintaining a secure environment and paying only for the services you use. This means that you can have the security you need at a lower cost than in an on-premises environment. As an AWS customer you inherit all the best practices of AWS policies, architecture, and operational processes built to satisfy the requirements of our most security-sensitive customers. Get the ﬂexibility and agility you need in security controls. The AWS Cloud enables a shared responsibility model. While AWS manages security of the cloud, you are responsible for security in the cloud. This means that you retain control of the security you choose to implement to protect your own content, platform, applications, systems, and networks no diﬀerently than you would in an on-site data center. AWS provides you with guidance and expertise through online resources, personnel, and partners. AWS provides you with advisories for current issues, plus you have the opportunity to work with AWS when you encounter security issues. You get access to hundreds of tools and features to help you to meet your security objectives. AWS provides security-speciﬁc tools and features across network security, conﬁguration management, access control, and data encryption. Security 6 Overview of Amazon Web Services AWS Whitepaper Finally, AWS environments are continuously audited, with certiﬁcations from accreditation bodies across geographies and verticals. In the AWS environment, you can take advantage of automated tools for asset inventory and privileged access reporting. Beneﬁts of AWS security Keep Your data safe — The AWS infrastructure puts strong safeguards in place to help protect your privacy. All data is stored in highly secure AWS data centers. Meet compliance requirements — AWS manages dozens of compliance programs in its infrastructure. This means that segments of your compliance have already been completed. Save money — Cut costs by using AWS data centers. Maintain the highest standard of security without having to manage your own facility Scale quickly — Security scales with your AWS Cloud usage. No matter the size of your business, the AWS infrastructure is designed to keep your data safe. Compliance AWS Cloud Compliance helps you understand the robust controls in place at AWS for security and data protection in the cloud. Compliance is a shared responsibility between AWS and the customer, and you can visit the Shared Responsibility Model to learn more. Customers can feel conﬁdent in operating and building on top of the security controls AWS uses on its infrastructure. The IT infrastructure that AWS provides to its customers is designed and managed in alignment with best security practices and a variety of IT security standards. The following is a partial list of assurance programs with which AWS complies: SOC 1/ISAE 3402, SOC 2, SOC 3 FISMA, DIACAP, and FedRAMP PCI DSS Level 1 ISO 9001, ISO 27001, ISO 27017, ISO 27018 AWS provides customers a wide range of information on its IT control environment in whitepapers, reports, certiﬁcations, accreditations, and other third-party attestations. More information is available in the Risk and Compliance whitepaper and the AWS Security Center.
