Why AWS (amazon cloud) is better for Cloud Servers?

The Amazon Web Services provides remote computing services. Most important and well-known service is the Amazon S3 and Amazon EC2. I have compiled some of the reasons for the AWS choice as Cloud Server, for big and small users.

 

Pricing Model : Pay-As-You-Go.

I am only pay for that what I use.

Let’s take an example to understand this: In AWS infrastructure I am using 13GB, now usually what happens with other cloud service I estimate my usage say 40GB, reserve it, and pay for that 40GB monthly. And with AWS, I am not using the whole 40GB. I just have 13GB of data, so I just pay for that 13GB, and I can always store more as your requirements grow, there is no restriction!

   

Security.

Cloud security at AWS is the highest priority

Amazon cloud is a secure, durable technology platform with industry-recognized certifications and audits: PCI DSS Level 1, ISO 27001, FISMA Moderate, FedRAMP, HIPAA, and SOC 1 (formerly referred to as SAS 70 and/or SSAE 16) and SOC 2 audit reports.

In security we get benefit from a data center and network architecture built to meet the requirements of the most security-sensitive organizations. The AWS infrastructure puts strong safeguards in place to help protect customer privacy. All data is stored in highly secure AWS data centers.

Network firewalls built into Amazon VPC, Encryption in transit with TLS across all services, Connectivity options that enable private, or dedicated, connections from your office or on-premises environment.

Reliability.

Focuses on the ability to prevent, and quickly recover from failures to meet business and customer demand.

Key topics include foundational elements around setup, cross project requirements, recovery planning, and how we handle change.

Flexibility & Customization.

Forget guesswork or scientific analysis to understand your infrastructure needs. Use of automatic scaling, you can build a connection based on the traffic/resource utilization closer to the actual needs its own management infrastructure. The Amazon Machine Images (AMI) may spin back up replicas in different regions of different environments within a few minutes, you do not need to repeat the setup every step.

However, the flexibility of AWS does not stop here.

The platform also provides a high degree of customization features to meet the needs of individual businesses.

Simple Automated Scheduling.

AWS provides the infrastructure you need to pay only what the customer to control and consume resources capacity.

One simple way to reduce costs is to stop the unused resource, and then start the resource again when the resource is needed.

AWS instance Scheduler is a simple solution that can be easily configured to provide a user-defined start and stop schedules for EC2 and RDS instances. This solution helps to deploy the operating costs in both the development environment and easy operating environment. With this solution, customers running instances during regular business hours can save up to 70% compared to running them 24 hours a day.

Geographic locations.

Currently, AWS spans 60 Availability Zones within 20 geographic regions around the world.

And plans for 12 more Availability Zones and four more AWS geographic Regions.
AWS Regions provide multiple, physically separated and isolated Availability Zones which are connected with low latency, high throughput, and highly redundant networking.

Free Tier for beginner or learner.

AWS offers 12 months Free Tier for new subscribers.

Allowing you to get hands-on learner and experience with AWS services. Free layer is very flexible.
For example, you can run a little over 750 hours a virtual machine (t2.micro class) a month. pay no additional charges for the Amazon EC2 instance (during the 12 months).

Finish with one line.

Several geographical regions of AWS is the pay as you go pricing model provides the flexibility of multi-layered security and customization.
