Editor's Notes
We are often asked the question: how did Amazon get into cloud computing? Amazon is really good at providing an immense selection of products, and of shipping those products to customers efficiently. But behind that online capability lies years of experience in providing technical services to the business that ensures our online stores are secure, fast, always available and capable of meeting huge seasonal demand.
AWS is not running on excess amazon.com server capacity. Come xmas and when Amazon.com is undergoing a seasonal spike in load, Amazon does not reclaim computing to finalise orders! There are hundreds of thousands of businesses running on Amazon Web Services ranging in size from the smallest startup to multi-national companies. Indeed, Amazon.com also uses AWS. It's a strategic business for Amazon.
As you may know, Amazon.com opened for business on the World Wide Web in July 1995 and today offers Earth’s Biggest Selection. Amazon seeks to be Earth’s most customer-centric company, where customers can find and discover anything they might want to buy online, and endeavors to offer our customers the lowest possible prices and the best possible services. Technology innovation has always driven Amazon’s growth. As we expanded our offerings for retail customers, we also expanded customer segments.
After over a decade of building and running the highly scalable set of web applications and databases known as Amazon.com, the company realized that we had developed a core competency in operating massive scale technology infrastructure and datacenters. So, we embarked on a much broader mission of serving a new customer segment – including government agencies – with a platform of web services through our cloud computing business called Amazon Web Services (AWS).
One way to think about cloud computing is that instead of buying, owning, and maintaining their own datacenters or servers, federal agencies can acquire technology resources such as compute power and storage on an as-needed basis, and dispose of it when it no longer is needed. Many industry experts refer to this as a “utility” model of obtaining and using IT capability, analogous how the government obtains access to water, gas, or electrical power. Users only pay for what they use – by the compute-hour or storage-gigabyte – and they are not locked into long-term contracts.
If a program is funded one year and then unfunded the next, or a pilot project or test program does not achieve its expected results, agencies no longer need to be tied to large, capital IT expenditures that cost tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars. As a result, organizations have more agility, which enables greater innovation, but when a project does fail, agencies also have more flexibility to adjust quickly and contain costs. The result is achieving more on your investment and avoiding costly overruns and high profile failures.
Our data center footprint is global, spanning 5 continents with highly redundant clusters of data centers in each region. Our footprint is expanding continuously as we increase capacity, redundancy and add locations to meet the needs of our customers around the world.
With traditional infrastructure, you have to guess how much capacity you will need over the next 3-7 years, and pay for most or all of it on day one. This ties up money that you could be spending on other things and it’s very difficult to forecast accurately over such a long period of time. With AWS, you pay for what you need, when you need it.
The second benefit is that we’re offering at lower total cost. Since we invest and operate at such high scale, we pay less per unit than most anybody else in the IT industry. We run our business on a high volume, low margin basis, which is also quite unique. The combination of high scale and low margins allows us to pass significant savings along to all of our customers. A proof point of this is the 26 price reductions that we’ve announced over time
With the elasticity of AWS, you no longer need to forecast demand and buy up front. You get the ability to scale up to meet the needs of spiky workloads, but then give that capacity back when the spike is over. Whether your dealing with annual spikes like the December retail boom, monthly or quarterly spikes associated with accounting workloads, or unpredictable spikes associated with web marketing, or any other situation where demand changes over time, cloud has considerable advantage over the traditional IT investment model.
We see our customers do amazing things when they reduce the cost of experimentation- it moves IT from being a roadblock, where each idea costs lots of money and takes lots of time, to being an enabler where you can launch a speculative project quickly and cheaply. It allows firms to take more chances on ideas, and gives them a shot at winning big, as opposed to being scared to even try.
Note: This slides lists services that were launched in a given year. It is for illustrative purposes and may not be a complete list.
Let’s face it, racking and stacking gear in a data center just doesn’t help you win over your competitors. It takes lots of time and lots of money and becomes a big distraction from activities that can truly differentiate you. Plus, without big economy of scale, these activities simply cost more.
Since we’ve invested in facilities around the world, we can offer you global reach at a moment’s notice. It’s cost prohibitive to put your own data center where all your customers are, but with AWS, you get the benefit without having to make the huge investment.
AThis is Gartner’s most recent Magic Quadrant for Infrastructure-as-a-Service.
Named leader for the 3 year in a row - You can see that AWS is now further out and up to the Top Right
And the 14 other vendors are clustered around the middle.
And What’s very interesting is that Gartner noted that AWS has more than five times the compute capacity than the aggregate total of the other 14 providers.
AWS is solving problems for big organizations across many Verticals and geographies. We’re extremely proud of our customer list and happy to know that we’re providing good outcomes and better results for some of the best firms in the world
800+ governmental agencies and 3000+ educational institutions worldwide use AWS. These range from CDC to City of Melbourne among others.
more than 25 million students collectively have written nearly 1 billion lines of code, with over 20 million students writing code in Computer Science Education Week (featuring “Hour of Code”) alone
The 5th strategy is migration and this requires a little more thinking. The National Democratic Institute, a nonprofit that promotes free and fair elections around the world, began with small projects and now has almost completed their full migration to the cloud. This has helped them to securely and reliably offer the tools necessary to their field teams working on the ground all over the world. Notre Dame migrated web apps to the cloud to deal with the spiky workloads they saw during major events and, as an added benefit, they were able to dramatically improve their disaster recovery strategy.

Footstomper: JPL was able to deliver 10-100 times the amount of data for 1/10 of the cost using CloudFront. This is 100-1,000 times more cost effective than when we landed the rovers 9 years ago.
Curiosity landing on Mars:
Two weeks to deploy the web application architecture to stream it to the world
10 days before the rover landed, everyone is focused on Curiosity itself
One engineer and our SA Jamie Kinney and Miles Ward to make we could sustain the bandwidth of streaming the launch
Cloud formation, Elastic Load Balancer, 125Gbits per second in traffic
Used weighted round robin with Route53 to load balance against a fleet of load balancers
This would have been impossible
CloudWatch to monitor the health of the servers
Autoscaling groups ensure that the number servers would stay even and running
We could sustain this with automation and cloud computing and Amazon Web Services
150Gpbs, 80,0000 requests per second, 150TB served, happy customers
We envision a hybrid cloud that allows you to use existing management frameworks to manage resources consistently and move workloads seamlessly between your data center and our cloud as you need.

Security for us is all about these three elements – visibility, auditability and control. Everything we talk about today will fall into those major categories, and as you can guess, they build on each other. Without knowing what you have, where, etc., you can’t audit your environment against best practices, your own internal standards, or any of the multitude of certifications that our customers require us to adhere to. Controls are all about enabling you to place precise, well-understood limits on the access to your information. These controls may take the form of traditional perimeter, network, or virtual machine firewalls or ACLs, or they may be newer, more finely-grained controls that focus on constraining access to individual data elements. Did you know, for example, that you can define a rule that says that “Tom is the only person who can access this data object that I store with Amazon, and he can only do so from his corporate desktop on the corporate network, from Monday-Friday 9-5 and when he uses MFA?” That’s the level of granularity you can choose to implement if you wish.
Trusted advisor gives you best practices recommendations in 4 different areas:
Cost optimization
- Security
- Fault tolerance
- Performance
Consistent, regular, exhaustive 3rd party evaluations with commonly understood results
People often ask, really the cloud can support PCI? Yes, many customers are moving to AWS especially for this feature (ex: Vodaphone Italy)
[picture of a shredded hard drive]
We have a set of very clear rules, they're implement across our data centers, on how to dispose things like harddrives. Going back to a lot of amazon design philosophy, simplicity is one of the most important precursors for success in implementing controls. Controls are complicated, people get confused and make mistakes. So what we have done with our data centers is make a rule that says no hardrive shall leave our facilities intact.
We give you the tools to do the same:
USE IAM(otherwise it’s like logging as root)
