Hybrid Cloud for Developers

Exploring AWS Cloud

In the previous chapter, we discussed the different types of cloud, such as public, private, and hybrid. We also mentioned public cloud providers, such as AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure. In this chapter, we will start exploring AWS Cloud in more detail. We will also guide you through the process of creating a new AWS account. Finally, we will be launching an EC2 instance, creating an EBS volume, and an S3 bucket.

The following topics will be covered in the chapter:

  • Introduction to AWS Cloud
  • Creation of an AWS account
  • Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)
  • Amazon Elastic Block Storage (EBS)
  • Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3)
  • Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)

Let's begin with a brief introduction to the AWS public cloud.

Introducing AWS Cloud 

Amazon released its public cloud on March 13, 2006, in which they offered a storage service called Simple Storage Service (S3). This storage service allows users to upload files such as photos, videos, spreadsheets, and so on. Users were able to read, edit, and delete these files on the cloud using the console provided by Amazon. However, this service was only offered in the US. It wasn't available to the other parts of the world. However, as years progressed, Amazon started expanding and providing its services to the other regions and now offers its services to the entire world. The S3 service also matured and provides several more additional features such as encryption, logging, high availability, and so on. Users can now upload files with a size of up to 5 TB.

After the success of S3, Amazon also started a Queue Service called SQS or Simple...

Summary

In this chapter, we introduced you to the basics of the AWS public cloud. We created an AWS account and discussed the various features of AWS. We also launched an EC2 instance, and created an EBS volume and an S3 bucket. We discussed different methods to upload and download files to and from the S3 bucket. Finally, we explored the virtual private cloud along with different scenarios in which it can be implemented. 

In the next chapter, we will explore an open source private cloud platform called OpenStack.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

How do I buy Early Access content? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same.

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
