§ Launching and connecting to EC2 instances
§ Backing up and restoring EC2 instances
§ Using S3 to store and serve files
§ Visualizing AWS costs and setting billing alerts
§ Migrating data to AWS

6. The AWS Free Tier
§ Includes most AWS services
§ Available for all new accounts
§ Good for one year from the day the account is created
§ Everything we show today can be done within the free tier
§ For more details: http://aws.amazon.com/free/

7. Signing up for an AWS account
§ Sign up through https://aws.amazon.com
§ You will need a credit card
§ There will be a telephone verification

8. Demo: Signing up for AWS

9. First Steps: Creating IAM Users
§ Using AWS Identity and Access
Management (IAM), you can create
and manage AWS users and
groups.
§ You can control what resources
each user has access to within an
AWS account.

10. First Steps: Enabling MFA
§ AWS allows you to require multi-
factor authentication for your
users through physical or software-
based single use login tokens. This
protects against stolen passwords
and key loggers.
§ Enable this on IAM users and the
root account

11. Demo: Creating an IAM user
and enabling MFA

12. Amazon EC2 – Creating an SSH key pair
§ SSH stands for Secure Shell
§ SSH keys are used for secured access to EC2 instances
§ SSH keys avoid password weaknesses
§ You can import your own key or have AWS generate a key pair for you.
§ AWS does not store the private part of the key pair

13. Demo: Creating an SSH key
pair for Amazon EC2

14. Amazon EC2 – Creating a Security Group
§ Security Groups are firewalls for your instances
§ By default, they block all traffic
§ You can choose what protocols and ports to open
§ You can use port ranges (e.g. 22-24)
§ You can choose who the ports are open to
§ Create rules with CIDR notation for groups of IP addresses (/32 is a single IP)
§ Create rules that specify Security Groups for other EC2 Instances

15. Demo: Creating a Security
Group in Amazon EC2

16. Amazon EC2 – Launching an Instance
§ Instances are virtual machines running in the cloud
§ You have full control of the instance and can install any
software that you choose
§ You can choose the instance type and size to get different
amounts of memory, CPU, disk, etc.
§ You will need your Key Pair and a Security Group to launch
the instance into

17. Demo: Launching and
connecting to EC2 Instances

18. Amazon EBS – Storage for EC2 Instances
§ Amazon Elastic Block Store is persistent block storage for EC2 instances
§ As small as 1GB and as large as 16TB
§ Available in several different types
§ Create snapshots of EBS volumes in S3 to create backups

19. Amazon EBS – Volume Types
General Purpose
SSD (gp2)
Provisioned IOPS
SSD (io1)
Throughput
Optimized HDD (st1)
Cold HDD (sc1)

23. Amazon S3
§ S3 is Amazon’s Simple Storage Service
§ Store and retrieve almost any amount of data: 1 byte to 5
terabytes per object
§ Highly scalable and durable
§ Encryption available
§ Objects exist in the AWS region you choose
§ Object level permissions
§ Easily accessible

24. AWS Server Migration Service

25. Key benefits of AWS Server Migration Service
Automates an incremental
replication of live server
volumes to AWS
Orchestrate large-scale
migrations, and track the
progress easily
Perform migrations faster
while minimizing network
bandwidth
Migrate servers in a cost
effective manner
Minimize server downtime
at cutover
Easy to get started

26. AWS Server Migration Service Overview
• Support VMware VMs migration with
the initial release. (supports for other
hypervisors coming soon)
• Agentless VM migration
• Capture incremental change made to
on-premises VMs and automatically
transfer to AWS
• Migrate a group of VMs
simultaneously and orchestrates
multiple migrations
• AWS Management Console and
API/CLI access
• Launch EC2 instances from Amazon
Machine Images (AMI)
Source: on-premises server AWS Server Migration Service Target: Amazon Machine Image

27. How to get started with AWS Server Migration Service
1. Deploy the AWS Connector (standalone VM) on VMware vCenter
2. Import vCenter VM inventory into the AWS Management Console
3. Choose VMs you want to migrate to AWS in the console
4. Configure replication for selected group of VMs (initial replication time,
replication interval, license type)
5. Start replication and track the progress
6. For each VM, you will see the list of AMIs created at each replication interval

28. AWS Database Migration Service

29. Start your first migration in 10 minutes or less
Keep your apps running during the migration
Replicate within, to, or from Amazon EC2 or Amazon RDS
Move data to the same or different database engine
