Module 1: Introduction to Amazon Web Services
學習目標
- AWS 的優點
- On-demand delivery vs. Cloud deployments
- Pay-as-you-go pricing model
介紹
幾乎所有現今的運算,都是使用基本的 client-server model。
使用者透過瀏覽器或其他桌面應用程式發出 request,伺服器(如:Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud,簡稱 Amazon EC2,是一個 EC2 instance,亦是一種虛擬伺服器 virtual server)會解析並處理該 request 的詳細資訊,再回應相關資料以滿足使用者的需求。AWS 的優點
- You only pay for what you use!
- At AWS, you don't pre-pay for anything.
- You don't have to worry about capacity constraints.
雲端運算(Cloud Computing)
Cloud Computing is the on-demand delivery of IT resources and applications through the internet with pay-as-you-go pricing.
- On-demand delivery
- 當你需要資源的時候,AWS 擁有你所需的資源,且無需事先/提前告知便能及時使用(click and launch)。
- 當你不需要使用資源的時候,也能立即歸還給 AWS,並立即停止計費。
- IT resources
- Business 需要的資源
- Undifferentiated heavy lifting of IT
- AWS 負責處理那些繁重(common, often repetitive, time-consuming)但無法帶來競爭優勢的 IT 基礎設施工作,使企業能夠專注於構建具競爭優勢的資料、系統架構和商業模式。
- Everything that an application needs to do but doesn't increase its competitive advantage in the eyes of its customers.
- Over the internet
- Use secure webpage console or programmatically.
- No additional contracts or sales calls are needed.
On-demand delivery vs. Cloud deployments
On-demand delivery
- 隨需使用
- 隨需收費
- 即開即用
三種 Cloud Computing Deployment Models
- Cloud-based deployment
- 例如:從地端轉移到雲端,或是打從一開始就完全以雲端來規劃並建置
- 所有東西都是放在雲端,且跑在雲上
- On-premises deployment = Private cloud deployment
- 例如:傳統 IT 基礎設施
- 透過虛擬化技術和資源管理工具,來提升地端伺服器的資源利用率
- Hybrid deployment
- Connect cloud-based resources to on-premises infrastructure.
- Integrate cloud-based resources with legacy IT applications.
- 可能是因公司維運便利性、政府法規要求,而同時擁有雲端和地端
Cloud Computing 優點
- 省錢:將前期的「大量資本支出(如:資料中心、伺服器等投資)」轉變爲「變動費用」(Trade upfront expense for variable expense)
- 省錢、省事:降低 IT 與人事維運成本,專注於商業模式(Stop spending money to run and maintain data centers)
- 省事:無需事先預測使用量,而是隨需即用、按需收費(Stop guessing capacity)
- 省錢:受益於規模經濟,AWS 可提供更低廉的價格(Benefit from massive economies of scale)
- 靈活:快速試錯與創新,雲端運算使您能夠在幾分鐘內存取新資源(Increase speed and agility)
- 低延遲:AWS 基礎建設遍及全球,客戶能夠以最小的延遲存取您的應用程式(Go global in minutes)
