Amazon Web Services Explained
April 2, 2012
You can make the Amazon cloud work for you if you attend to the type of information we found here; Digg presents “Cracking the Cloud: an Amazon Web Services Primer.” The article notes:
It’s safe to say that Amazon Web Services (AWS) has become synonymous with cloud computing; it’s the platform on which some of the Internet’s most popular sites and services are built. But just as cloud computing is used as a simplistic catchall term for a variety of online services, the same can be said for AWS—there’s a lot more going on behind the scenes than you might think.
Writer Matthew Braga goes on to elaborate in detail on the workings of AWS. He defines and explains Elastic Cloud Compute (EC2), Elastic Load Balance (ELB), Elastic Block Storage (EBS), and Simple Storage Service (S3). Braga emphasizes that these are just the core components, and that there are many other features of AWS that he doesn’t have space to cover here. What he does describe, though, is quite useful information for the tech reader.
