While datacenter based IT costs are largely fixed, in a three year depreciation schedule, cloud costs are inherently variable, and can be sized to fit the need. When times get tough, a focus on cost optimization can also greatly reduce cloud costs, and the results take effect in next month’s bill.

In supply chain management, connections between airports, warehouses, and retail aisles are critical for cost and time optimization. Like many AWS innovations, the desire to build a solution for a scalable graph database came from Amazon’s retail business. Graph databases at Amazon. Sharing it with you.

Today, we added two important choices for customers running high performance apps in the cloud: support for Redis in Amazon ElastiCache and a new high memory database instance (db.cr1.8xlarge) for Amazon RDS. No single database architecture or solution can meet all of Amazon.com’s or our customers’ needs.

Improving the Cloud - More Efficient Queuing with SQS. Customers tell us they poll SQS quickly because they want to retrieve messages as soon as they become available. With long polling, SQS instead waits for a message to become available and sends it to the client if the message arrives within a customer-defined time period.

And if you know anyone looking for a simple book that uses lots of pictures and lots of examples to explain the cloud, then please recommend my new book: Explain the Cloud Like I'm 10. Use Multi-AZ deployments for High Availability and Read Replica for read scalability. It would mean a great deal to me.

In today’s distributed cloud application environments, no matter how many front-end tests an organization runs, there are still infinite ways something could go wrong in front of users.

The expectation was that with each order or two of magnitude, we would need to revisit and revise the architecture to make sure we could address the issues of scale. We needed to build such an architecture that we could introduce new software components without taking the service down. APIs are forever.

Cloud-based applications enjoy the unique elasticity that cloud infrastructures provide. As more computing resources are needed to handle a growing workload, virtual servers (also called cloud “ instances ”) can be added to take up the slack. Deploying an IMDG in the Cloud.

We launched DynamoDB last year to address the need for a cloud database that provides seamless scalability, irrespective of whether you are doing ten transactions or ten million transactions, while providing rock solid durability and availability. If you need support for transactions, use the recently released transaction library.
