Introduction to Amazon EC2

John Phillips, Amazon Web Services

July 10th 2014

What we’ll cover:

• Amazon EC2– Brief history

– Key functionality

– Companion services

• Demo

• Q&A

What is Amazon EC2?

Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud

Elastic Virtual servers in the cloud

A Brief look back…

Amazon EC2: Seven Years Young

Amazon EC2 – Seven years ago

• Single instance family and size– m1.small (1 vCPU, 1.7 GiB RAM, 160 GB storage)

• Linux only

• On Demand pricing only

• No AWS Management Console

• No EBS

• No Elastic IPs

• No Auto Scaling

• No Elastic Load Balancing

• No VPCAmazon EC2

Since then• Many new instance families and sizes

– M1, M3, T1, T2, M2, CR1, R3, C1, CC1, CC2, C3, CG1, G2, HS1, HI1, I2

• Windows (and Enterprise Linux)

• Reserved Instances and Spot Instances

• AWS Management Console

• Elastic Block Store

• Elastic IP Addresses

• Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)

• Auto Scaling

• Elastic Load Balancing

• Performance, security, manageability, and scalability improvements

Recent Instance Highlights

• T2 – lowest cost, general purpose instance

• R3 – Next generation memory optimized, up to 244 GiB

• I2 – Next generation I/O optimized (350,000+ random read IOPS)

• C3 – 2.8 GHz Intel Xeon E5-2680v2 (Ivy Bridge) CPUs (SSD)

• G2 – Next generation GPU instances, 1 NVIDIA GK104 GPU (Kepler)

• Enhanced networking

A choice of block storage options

• Locally attached, “instance storage”– Type/amount differs by instance

• Amazon EBS General Purpose (SSD)

• Amazon EBS Provisioned IOPS (SSD)

• Amazon EBS Magnetic

T2 and Amazon EC2 Free Tier

• T2 is a Burstable Performance Instance– Burstable Performance Instances provide a baseline level of CPU performance

with the ability to burst above the baseline.

– T2 instances are for workloads that don’t use the full CPU often or consistently,

but occasionally need to burst.

– Great for getting started on Amazon EC2

• Amazon EC2 Free Tier– 750 hours of Amazon EC2 Linux t2.micro instance usage (1 GiB of memory and

32-bit and 64-bit platform support)

Who uses EC2?

Using AWS, Dow Jones saved $40,000;

improves time-to-market by 30%

• Dow Jones & Company provides news and

business information for the global investment

market.

• Dow Jones needed to replace its Asian data

center with a flexible, cost-effective alternative

that allowed its staff to focus on building

products

• Moving its data center to AWS saved $40,000 in

hardware costs and enabled Dow Jones staff to

focus on creating revenue-producing

applications for the website

• One of the world's leading online travel

companies, providing leisure and business

travel to customers worldwide

• Expedia needed a global infrastructure to

support its commitment to create a great

experience for customers worldwide

• Using AWS, Expedia created a global

infrastructure for its critical applications while

reducing network latency to under 50

milliseconds and enabling a 230% CPU

consumption efficiency for data processing

Expedia uses AWS to run critical,

high volume applications globally

Some Amazon EC2 Benefits
