EC2 – Regions and Availability Zones

Region – One of 7 distinct physical locations:

• Northern Virginia, San Francisco, Oregon, Tokyo, Singapore, Brazil, Ireland

Availability Zone• Physical infrastructure (1 or more data centers)• 2 or more AZ’s per Region• Fault tolerance across AZ’s

EC2 Instance

• Amazon EC2: A Virtual Server in the Cloud

• Provision and boot new servers in minutes

• Boot from AMI (Amazon Machine Image)

• Your choice of Linux or Windows

• Quickly scale capacity up or down

• Deploy across Regions and Availability Zones for reliability

• Choose from 14 different instance types:

• CPU power

• RAM

• Local disk

• Network speed

EC2 Security Group

• Virtual firewall• Control access to instance• Default configuration: no access

EC2 Elastic IP Address

• Fixed IP address• Map to any EC2 instance in a Region• Retain address after switching instances

EC2 Elastic Load Balancer

Distribute traffic to an array of EC2 instances• Scale up or scale down• Health checks• Traffic goes to healthy instances• Configurable list of ports

Amazon CloudWatch

• Tracks and stores AWS and user-defined metrics• 2 week retention period• Detect issues• Raise alerts

EC2 Auto Scaling

• Control number of running EC2 instances• Scale up or down as needed• Drive decisions based on CloudWatch metrics

• CPU load• Network traffic

• No direct console UI at present:• Command line• API• Elastic Beanstalk

• Auto-scaling group• Instance collection• Actions (rules)

EC2 Elastic Block Storage (EBS)

• Virtual disk volumes• 1 GB – 1 TB per volume• Create and attach to EC2 instance• Format and write data• Snapshot and restore• Provison desired IOPS (up to 1000 per volume)

What’s Next?So…those are all of the parts!

Can we put them all together?
