Faster hardware cycles

What is AWS cloud computing? AWS is the undisputed market leader in cloud computing today. Even though there are few worthy competitors, it doesn’t seem like anyone will push them off the podium for a while. Why is this, and how can we be sure they will remain a top player for years? Because this pattern has occurred in the history of the technology industry repeatedly. IN THEIR BOOK THE

Basic cloud and AWS terminology There is a constant effort by technology companies to offer common standards for certain technologies while providing exclusive and proprietary technology that no one else offers. An example of this can be seen in the database market. The Standard Query Language (SQL) and the ANSI-SQL standard have been around for a long time. The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) adopted SQL as the SQL-86 standard

Security The perception of on-premises environments being more secure than cloud environments was a common reason companies big and small would not migrate to the cloud. More and more enterprises now realize that it is tough and expensive to replicate the security features provided by cloud providers such as AWS. Let’s look at a few of the measures that AWS takes to ensure the security of its systems. Physical security

Faster hardware cycles When hardware is provisioned on-premises, it starts becoming obsolete from the instant that it is purchased. Hardware prices have been on an exponential downtrend since the first computer was invented, so the server you bought a few months ago may now be cheaper, or a new version of the server may be out that’s faster and still costs the same. However, waiting until hardware improves or becomes

The first pillar – Security Security should always be a top priority in both on-premises and cloud architectures. All security aspects should be considered, including data encryption and protection, access management, infrastructure security, network security, monitoring, and breach detection and inspection. You can find the security pillar checklist from Well-Architected Tool below, which has ten questions with one or more options relevant to your workload:The next pillar, reliability, is almost

Third pillar – performance efficiency In some respects, over-provisioning resources are just as bad as not having enough capacity to handle your workloads. Launching a constantly idle or almost idle instance is a sign of bad design. Resources should not be at full capacity and should be utilized efficiently. AWS provides various features and services to assist in creating architectures with high efficiency. However, we are still responsible for ensuring

Fifth pillar – operational excellence The operational excellence of a workload should be measured across these dimensions: The ideal way to optimize these metrics is to standardize and automate the management of these workloads. To achieve operational excellence, AWS recommends these principles: You can find the operational excellence pillar checklist from Well-Architected Tool below with 11 questions covering multiple aspects to make sure your architecture is optimized to run in

AWS Well-Architected Lenses As of April-2022, AWS has launched 13 well-architected lenses addressing architecting needs specific to technology workload and industry domain. The followings are the important available lenses for AWS’s well-architected framework: Above, we have covered some of the important lenses, but I will encourage you to explore other industry focus well-architected lenses such as Game, Streaming Media, Finance, and workload-specific lenses, including SAP, SaaS, HPC (High-Performance Computing), and

AWS Cloud DevOps Engineer Path DevOps is a critical engineering function that makes the development team more agile by automating the deployment pipeline. Automation is key to adopting Cloud and using its full potential, where DevOps engineer plays an essential role. Followings AWS certification can help you navigate the DevOps path in the AWS cloud. AWS Certified SysOps Administrator – Associate This certification will demonstrate to potential employers and clients

Getting Started in AWS AWS launched a skill builder portal (https://explore.skillbuilder.aws/) which enhances the version of AWS’s training portal. AWS Skill builder has thousands of self-paced digital training and a learning path, as shown below. You can pick any learning path you need and explore related digital courses. If you want classroom training, those are available in the AWS training portal; however, those may come with a price. AWS provides
