SaaS ?
or
PaaS ?
or
IaaS ?

Statistics

7. Business Progress
Over 1 million active customers
Successful Start-ups Using AWS

8. 2014 IaaS Magic Quadrant
“AWS is the overwhelming market share
leader, with
more than 5X the compute capacity
in use than the aggregate total of the other 14
providers”

9. 2014 Public Cloud Storage Magic
Quadrant
“AWS has a proven, well-rounded storage
portfolio and is highly innovative, agile and
responsive to customer needs”
“AWS offers storage services in 10 regions
(including AWS GovCloud in the U.S.), with
more than 50 edge locations worldwide”

Platform

15. Regions ?
An independent collection of AWS
resources in a defined geography
A solid foundation for meeting location
dependant privacy and compliance
requirements
Availability Zones ?
Designed as Independent failure zones
Physically separated with a typical
metropolitan region
Edge Locations ?
To deliver content to end users with
lower latency
Supports global DNS infrastructure
(Route 53) and Cloud Front CDN

23. Gartner Highlights | Cloud Myths
Myth 1: Cloud Is Always About Money
While prices are dropping, especially for infrastructure as a service (IaaS), not all cloud service pricing
is coming down (for example, most software as a service [SaaS]). Assuming that the cloud always
saves money can lead to career-limiting promises. Saving money may end up one of the benefits, but
it should not be taken for granted.
Myth 6: Cloud Is Less Secure Than On-Premises Capabilities
Cloud computing is perceived as less secure. This is more of a trust issue than based on any
reasonable analysis of actual security capabilities. To date, there have been very few security
breaches in the public cloud — most breaches continue to involve on-premises data center
environments. While cloud providers should have to demonstrate their capabilities, once they have
done so there is no reason to believe their offerings cannot be secure.

25. What We Had
Single Server running
● IIS (API & Front-end)
● PDF Generating Service
● Image Store
● Database Server
Poor Performance
Huge Bill

26. Customer Developer

27. Made a Wise Decision

28. Services
We
Consume

29. Architecture
● Automated Backups
● Performance Insanely
Increased
● Application health
notifications
● Zero downtime deployments
● Auto Scaling
● Upgrade Server Hardware in
seconds

30. Coming Up | Early 2015
● Code Pipeline
● Code Commit
● More price reductions
