• Live demonstration of
AWS Services
Advantages and disadvantages of cloud computing
❄ No need for upfront capital.
❄ No need to manage
hardware or software
upgrades.
❄ Add/Remove extra
services as the business
needs change.
❄ LOW Cost.
❄ One-off, upfront capital costs
become ongoing operating
costs. That might be more
expensive in the long-term
depending on the business.
❄ Vendor lock-in
Think of cloud computing as renting a fully serviced flat instead of buying a
home of your own. Clearly there are advantages in terms of convenience, but
there are huge restrictions on how you can live and what you can alter. Will it
automatically work out better and cheaper for you in the long term? Source
AWS Economical Effect On The Market
❄ 2014 – Committed to
achieve 100% renewable
energy usage for its
global footprint.
❄ 2015 – AWS breaks out
its revenue, $6 Billion
USD per year and
growing close to 90% on
yearly basis.
❄ 2016 – Run rate of $13
billion USD. Source.
❄ 2016 – Cisco, Dell EMC,
IBM, HP Enterprise,
Oracle and VMware
generated $206 Billion, a
$15 Billion reduction from
2012 (3% shrinkage year
on year).

Region
AZ-AAZ-A AZ-BAZ-B
AZ-CAZ-C
What is a Region and what is an Availability Zone (AZ) ?
A Region is a geographical area. Each region consists of 2 (or more)
Availability zones.
An Availability zone is a Data Center.
Global Infrastructure
The AWS Cloud operates 42
Availability Zones within 16
geographic Regions around
the world, with five more
Availability Zones and two
more Regions coming online
throughout the next year
Regions And Number of Availability Zones (16 geo-regions, 42 availabity zones)
AWS Gov Cloud Two Availability Zones
US-West Oregon (3), Northern California (3)
US-East Northern Virginia (5), Ohio (3)
Canada Central (2)
South America Sao Paulo (3)
Europe Ireland (3), Frankfurt (2), London (2)
Asia Pacific Singapore (2), Sydney (3), Tokyo (3), Seoul (2), Mumbai (2)
China Beijing (2)
What is an Edge location ?
• Edge locations are similar to Content
Delivery Networks (CDN) with extra
features that promotes performance
and developer’s usability.
• There are many more edge locations
than Regions/Availability Zones.
