Compute services overview

Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2)

AWS Compute Service: provides resizable virtual machines

Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling

AWS Compute Service: supports application availability by allowing you to define conditions that will automatically launch or terminate EC2 instances.

Amazon Elastic Container Registry (Amazon ECR)

AWS Compute Service: is used to store and retrieve Docker images.

Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS)

AWS Compute Service: is a container orchestration service that supports Docker.

VMware Cloud

AWS Compute Service: on AWS enables you to provision a hybrid cloud without custom hardware.

AWS Elastic Beanstalk

AWS Compute Service: provides a simple way to run and manage web applications.

AWS Lambda

AWS Compute Service: is a serverless compute solution. You pay only for the compute time that you use.

Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS)

AWS Compute Service: enables you to run managed Kubernetes on AWS.

Amazon Lightsail

AWS Compute Service:provides a simple-to-use service for building an application or website.

AWS Batch

AWS Compute Service: provides a tool for running batch jobs at any scale.

AWS Fargate

AWS Compute Service: provides a way to run containers that reduce the need for you to manage servers or clusters.

AWS Outposts

AWS Compute Service: provides a way to run select AWS services in your on-premises data center.

AWS Serverless Application Repository

AWS Compute Service: provides a way to discover, deploy, and publish serverless applications.

Amazon EC2

this AWS service provides virtual machines

infrastructure

Amazon EC2 is ___ as a service

IaaS

__ services provide flexibility and leave many of the server management responsibilities to you. You choose the operating system, and you also choose the size and resource capabilities of the servers that you launch

Amazon EC2

one of the first AWS services and remains one of the most popular

AWS Lambda

this AWS service is a zero-administration compute platform

AWS Lambda

this AWS service enables you to run code without provisioning or managing servers

compute time

In AWS Lambda, you only pay for the ___ that is consumed

AWS Lambda

this AWS service is becoming more popular because it supports cloud-native architectures, which enable massive scalability at a lower cost than running servers 24/7 to support the same workloads.

• Amazon Elastic Container Service

• Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service

• AWS Fargate

• Amazon Elastic Container Registry

Container-based services—including ___, ___, ___, and ___—enable you to run multiple workloads on a single operating system (OS)

workloads

Container-based services—including Amazon Elastic Container Service, Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service, AWS Fargate, and Amazon Elastic Container Registry—enable you to run multiple ___ on a single operating system (OS).

operating system (OS)

Container-based services—including Amazon Elastic Container Service, Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service, AWS Fargate, and Amazon Elastic Container Registry—enable you to run multiple workloads on a single ___.

Containers

__ spin up more quickly than virtual machines, thus offering responsiveness.

virtual machines

Containers spin up more quickly than ___, thus offering responsiveness.

Container

___-based solutions continue to grow in popularity

AWS Elastic Beanstalk

It facilitates the quick deployment of applications that you create by providing all the application services that you need. AWS manages the OS, the application server, and the other infrastructure components so that you can focus on developing your application code.

administrative overhead

AWS Fargate reduces ___, but you can use options taht give you more control

platform

AWS Elastic Beanstalk is ___ as a service

• What is your application design?

• What are your usage patterns?

• Which configuration settings will you want to manage?

Some aspects to consider when choosing the optimal compute service:

legacy code

Often, the compute architecture that you use is determined by ___. However, that does not mean that you cannot evolve the architecture to take advantage of proven cloud-native designs.

• Evaluate the available compute options

• Understand the available compute configuration options

• Collect computer-related metrics

• Use the available elasticity of resources

• Re-evaluate compute needs based on metrics
