2. Best Practice for Cloud Architecture

3. INDIVIDUAL PHYSICAL
STORAGE/SERVER
 NAS - NETWORK ATTACHED STORAGE
 SAN – STORAGE AREA NETWORK
 DAS – DIRECT ATTACHED STORAGE
 PHYSICAL SERVER
 INDIVIDUAL SOFTWARE AND CONFIGURATION
 NO HORIZONTAL SCALING.

4. Cloud Stack

5. NO INITIAL INFRASTRUCTURE COST

6. CLOUD ARCHITECTURE
CLOUD STACK
 AMAZON EC2, EBS, S3, RACKSPACE ETC.
 AMAZON EC2 – LOCAL INSTANCE – LESS COST – NO
INITIAL INFRASTRUCTURE COST
 AMAZON EBS – ELASTIC BLOCK STORE – SCALABILITY
 AMAZON S3 SIMPLE STORAGE SERVICE – AVAILIBITY
99.99%
 SAAS - Software as a Service is a software distribution model in
which applications are hosted by a vendor or service provider and
made available to customers over a network, typically the Internet.)

7. Cont.
 PAAS – Platform as a Service often simply referred to as PaaS, is a
category of cloud computing that provides a platform and
environment to allow developers to build applications and services
over the internet. PaaS services are hosted in the cloud and accessed
by users simply via their web browser.
 Infrastructure as a Service is a provision model in which an
organization outsources the equipment used to support
operations, including storage, hardware, servers and networking
components. The service provider owns the equipment and is
responsible for housing, running and maintaining it. The client
typically pays on a per-use basis.

8. CLOUD ARCHITECTURE
Types of Amazon Instances
 AMAZON EC2 INSTANCE
 SMALL - START WITH SMALL INSTANCE –
LINUX, WINDOWS.
 MEDIUM – WHEN USER GROWS – EASY TO MIGRATE TO
MEDIUM INSTANCE.
 LARGE – CHANGE WHEN REALY REQUIRED TO IMPROVE
PERFORMANCE
 EXTRA LARGE – For Large and heavy users hits..

9. PAY AS YOU USE

10. CLOUD ADVANTAGE
 COST EFFECTIVE
 NO HUGE UPFRONT INFRASTRUCTURE EXPENSES
 SCALABILITY – HORIZONTALLY
 DURABILITY
 99.99% UPTIME
 IMPROVE PERFORMANCE WITH LESS EFFORT.
 NO TERMINATION COST, NO COMMITMENTS.
 PAYAS YOU USE BY HOUR/MONTH/GIGABYTE.

11. Infrastructure Stack
