  1. AWS Amazon Web Services Georges Akpoly CS252

  2. Overview of AWS • Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) • Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) • Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) • Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk) • Alexa Web Services • Amazon E-Commerce Service (ECS) • Amazon Flexible Payments Service (FPS)

  3. Starting Point One machine: • Apache, IIS • PHP / Perl / Java / … • SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle

  4. Worst Case Populariy

  5. A Difficult Path

  6. Problem: Backup • High availability • Redundancy • Very big data sets

  7. Problem: File System • Important files have to be accessed by many servers • NFS / Samba not practical

  8. Problem: Messaging • Many servers on different locations have to communicate • Creating a reliable and scalable message queue is really hard

  9. Don’t reinvent the wheel!

  10. Amazon Web Services

  11. S3 - Simple Storage Service • Redundant storage - as much as you like • max. 5 GB per object • Organized in “Buckets” • Web Service API for uploads • Downloads via • Web Service • HTTP / HTTPS • BitTorrent

  12. S3 - Buckets • Unique over all S3 • Contains many key-value-metadata tupel • Cannot contain other buckets! • Key can contain “/”

  13. S3 with AWS::S3 • Upload • Download

  14. S3 with AWS::S3 • How do you run a website from S3 • #1 caveat: no index.html support • So it’s only useful to offload traffic and storage from your main site

  15. S3 with AWS::S3 • Set up a bucket name ‘vanlug’ • Store a key in it ‘tux.png’ • Make it publicly accessible • Set up a CName ‘static.vanlug.com’ and points it to ‘vanlug.s3.amazonaws.com’ • Load up http://static.vanlug.com/tux.png • That’s it.

  16. S3 with AWS::S3 • JungleDisk • This application lets you mount S3 like it is a local drive • Cross platform, support linux, Mac, Windows • Encryption can be pre or post upload.

  17. EC2 - Elastic Compute Cloud • Based on XEN virtualization • On demand virtual servers - controlled with Web Service API • Use your favorite Linux distro (Linux 2.6.16), Amazon Machine Images (AMI) are stored on S3 • ACLs for hosts/ports access control

  18. EC2 - Elastic Compute Cloud • How much does it cost • Traffic between EC2 instances and S3 is free. Even if they are not in the same datacenter • $0.10 per instance-hour consumed ( or part of an hour consumed) • Same prices for traffic and storage as S3

  19. EC2 - Elastic Compute Cloud • What you can do with it • You are the root, do anything • Install software • Apache • VPN • UT2004, Call of Duty • Jabber • Load kernel modules

  20. SQS - Simple Queue Service • Distributed, highly scalable and reliable message system • Unlimited number of queues and messages • Locking / releasing built-in • 256 KB message payload • Basic permission model

  21. SQS gem Setup Usage

  22. MTurk • Amazon uses Artificial Artificial Intelligence • Submitters enter Human Intelligence tasks into the queue and workers can solve them • Workers can be tested for capabilities before they are trusted • Submitters can refuse results if they find them unsatisfactory • There are feedback system in place so Workers can know if the submitters will pay

  23. MTurk • Some examples • Podcast transcription services • Image recognition for mapping service • Amazon has used it themselves for internal projects

  24. Resources • Developer Connection http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/kbcategory.jspa?categoryID=59 • Forums http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/forumindex.jspa • Resource Center http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/kbcategory.jspa?categoryID=59 • 265,000+ developers
