This document is an introduction to Amazon EC2 presented by Ian Massingham on April 30, 2014. It provides an overview of EC2's key functionality and growth over the past 7 years. EC2 allows users to provision compute capacity in the cloud and pay only for what they use. It offers choices for instance types, operating systems, storage options, and pricing models to meet different use cases. EC2 provides scalability, reliability, security, and cost savings compared to on-premises infrastructure.

- 2. What we’ll cover: • A brief look back • Amazon EC2 – Key functionality – Companion services • Q&A
- 3. What is Amazon EC2..?
- 4. A Brief look back… Amazon EC2: Seven Years Young
- 5. Amazon EC2 – Seven years ago • Single instance family and size – m1.small (1 vCPU, 1.7 GiB RAM, 160 GB storage) • Linux only • On Demand pricing only • No AWS Management Console • No EBS • No Elastic IPs • No VPC • No Auto Scaling • No Elastic Load Balancing Amazon EC2
- 6. Since then • Many new families and sizes – M1, M2, C1, C3, M3, CC1, CC2, CG1, G2, CR1, HS1, HI1, T1, G2, I2 • Windows (and Enterprise Linux) • Reserved Instances and Spot Instances • AWS Management Console • Elastic Block Store • Elastic IP Addresses • Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) • Auto Scaling • Elastic Load Balancing • Performance, security, manageability, and scalability improvements
- 7. AWS Global Infrastructure 10 Regions 25 Availability Zones 51 Edge locations
- 8. Amazon EC2 • Resizable compute instances in the cloud • Provision 1 or many instances • Pay for what you use; no minimum commitment • Familiar operating systems, with cloud benefits
- 9. Amazon EC2 Instances - Families Compute-Optimized Storage-Optimized Micro Instances General Purpose GPU Instances Memory-Optimized
- 10. C1/CC2/C3 HI1/I2/HS1 T1 M1/M3 G2 M2/CR1 Amazon EC2 Instances - Generations
- 11. Amazon EC2 Instances – Types* c3.large i2.xlarge t1.micro m3.medium g2.2xlarge m2.xlarge *Note: Only instance type is shown from each family/generation, as an example
- 12. Recent Instance Highlights • HI1– 120,000 random read IOPS on SSDs • I2 - Next generation I/O optimized (350,000+ random read IOPS) • M3 – Next generation general purpose • HS1– 48 TB of storage per instance • CR1– 244 GiB of RAM &Intel Xeon E5 2670 (Sandy Bridge) CPUs • G2 – 1 NVIDIA GK104 GPU (Kepler) • C3 - 2.8 GHz Intel Xeon E5-2680v2 (Ivy Bridge) CPUs (SSD)
- 13. A choice of block storage options • Locally attached, “instance storage” – Type/amount differs by instance • Amazon EBS Standard Volumes • Amazon EBS Provisioned IOPS Volumes
- 14. Who uses EC2..?
- 15. Using AWS, Dow Jones saved $40,000; improves time-to-market by 30% • Dow Jones & Company provides news and business information for the global investment market. • Dow Jones needed to replace its Asian data center with a flexible, cost-effective alternative that allowed its staff to focus on building products • Moving its data center to AWS saved $40,000 in hardware costs and enabled Dow Jones staff to focus on creating revenue-producing applications for the website
- 16. • One of the world's leading online travel companies, providing leisure and business travel to customers worldwide • Expedia needed a global infrastructure to support its commitment to create a great experience for customers worldwide • Using AWS, Expedia created a global infrastructure for its critical applications while reducing network latency to under 50 milliseconds and enabling a 230% CPU consumption efficiency for data processing Expedia uses AWS to run critical, high volume applications globally
- 17. Some Amazon EC2 Benefits • Elastic • Completely Controlled • Flexible • Reliable • Secure • Inexpensive
- 18. Elastic
- 19. Amazon EC2 is designed to help you: • Simplify your operations • Scale as required • Improve resiliency • Run applications securely • Run any application • Reduce your costs
