SSCL Offerings in AWS
COMPUTE
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) provides scalable computing capacity in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud.
Using Amazon EC2 eliminates your need to invest in hardware up front, so you can develop and deploy applications faster. You can use Amazon EC2 to launch as many or as few virtual servers as you need, configure security and networking, and manage storage.
EC2 can be created either by using Windows or Linux Operating System.
STORAGE
1. Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) – Use Amazon S3 to store and retrieve any amount of data at any time using the same highly scalable, reliable, fast, inexpensive data storage infrastructure that Amazon uses to run its own global network of websites.
2. Amazon Backup – AWS Backup is a fully managed backup service that makes it easy to centralize and automate the backup of data across AWS services in the cloud as well as on premises.
SERVER MIGRATION
AWS Server Migration Service automates the migration of your on-premises VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V/SCVMMV and Azure virtual machines to the AWS Cloud. AWS SMS incrementally replicates your server VMs as cloud-hosted Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) ready for deployment on Amazon EC2. Working with AMIs, you can easily test and update your cloud-based images before deploying them in production.
DOMAIN REGISTRATION
Amazon Route 53 is a highly available and scalable Domain Name System (DNS) web service. Route 53 performs four main functions:
Domain registration: Route 53 helps lets you register domain names such as example.com. Domain Name System (DNS) service: Route 53 translates friendly domains names like www.example.com into IP addresses like 192.0.2.1.
Route 53 responds to DNS queries using a global network of authoritative DNS servers, which reduces latency.
Resolver: Route 53 Resolver lets you forward DNS queries
Health checking: Route 53 sends automated requests over the internet to your application to verify that it’s reachable, available, and functional.
