It takes you through the thinking processes and engineering practices behind the design of a key part of the control plane for AWS Elastic Block Storage (EBS): the Physalia database that stores configuration information. For Physalia, and for AWS more generally, the guiding principle is minimise the blast radius. NSDI’20.

Amazon DynamoDB is the fastest growing new service in the history of AWS. In the five months since it launched in January, DynamoDB , our fast and scalable NoSQL database service, has been setting AWS growth records. We expect the system to provide the performance we need at 1/20th of the cost of the traditional DB approach.â??.

AWS is enabling innovations in areas such as healthcare, automotive, life sciences, retail, media, energy, robotics that it is mind boggling and humbling. For example many of the Internet of Things innovations that we have seen come to life in the past years on AWS all have a significant analytics components to it.

Cluster Computer Instances for Amazon EC2 are a new instance type specifically designed for High Performance Computing applications. In those days, my main goal was to take the advances in building the highly dedicated High Performance Cluster environments and turn them into commodity technologies for the enterprise to use.

Infrastructure as a Service is the term used for those cloud-based solutions that provide complete infrastructure to the users including all the overheads, hardware, and networking facilities. SaaS does not need you to manage hardware or other requirements such as OS and middleware. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). Conclusion.

Amazon DynamoDB is a fully managed NoSQL database service that provides fast performance at any scale. Amazon DynamoDB stores data on Solid State Drives (SSDs) and replicates it synchronously across multiple AWS Availability Zones in an AWS Region to provide built-in high availability and data durability.

It can be hard to visualize the huge network of hardware that allows you to send a request for a page to a server and then receive a response back. The good news is that, as developers, we can do an awful lot about it. Recommended reading : How Improving Website Performance Can Help Save The Planet. Performance And Emissions.
