AWS - Snowball

Snowball

  1. Before snowball, there was import/export disk accelerates moving large amount of data into and out of AWS through portable devices (like external HD, physically transporting them to AWS). This method created overhead of management of different portable devices.
  2. Snowball in AWS console comes under migration.
  3. We need to create a job/request/order Snowball.
  4. Once hardware delivered to connect to Snowball we need to download client.
  5. Once hardware setup is done, download credentials from Snowball dashboard.
  6. We need credential to unlock and connect to Snowball
  7. Snowball can import and export data to S3.
  8. Introduced Snowball (Amazon created physical box) with below types
    1. Snowball (standard) : is peta-byte scale data transport solution. Transfer your data to snowball then transport that to Amazon and Amazon will upload data to AWS. Amazon uses multiple layer of security in data transport. 80TB available on all region.
    2. Snowball edge : 100TB storage capacity comes with on board compute capacity. Can be clustered as well.
    3. Snowmobile : Massive container in a truck with 100peta-byte storage capacity

AWS -EC2

                                            Amazon EC2 The Amazon EC2 simple web service interface allows you to obtain and configure capacity with minimal friction. Amazon EC2 works in conjunction with Amazon VPC to provide security and robust networking functionality. Connect your existing IT infrastructure to resources in your VPC using industry-standard encrypted IPsec virtual private network (VPN) connections. Dedicated Instances are Amazon EC2 instances that run on hardware dedicated to a single customer for additional isolation. Dedicated Hosts , which are physical servers with EC2 instance capacity fully dedicated to your use. Dedicated Hosts can help you address compliance requirements and reduce costs by allowing you to use your existing server-bound software licenses. You pay for the compute capacity you actually consume .  EC2 Instance Purch...

AWS - Security Groups

Security Group All inbound traffic is blocked by default. All outbound traffic is allowed. Changes to security group takes effect immediately. You can have any number of EC2 instances within a security group. Multiple security group attached to an EC2 instance. Security groups are STATEFUL (A service that is actively processing state data). You can not block specific IP address using security group instead use NACL. You can specify allow rules but not deny rules.

AWS - Storage - Rebuild-InProgress

S3 S3 is object based storage on AWS cloud. Objects are files like videos, pictures etc. 0byte to 5TB size files can be uploaded. There is no limit on upload. Files are stored in buckets. S3 is universal namespace (two same name bucket can't exist globally), so each bucket name must be unique. S3 url syntax https://S3-<region name>.amazonaws.com/<bucketname>. Putting new object on S3 gives read after write consistency (no delay in read). For any update or deletion of object propagation of change will take time. S3 fundamentals are Key(name), Value(data), VersionID, Metadata, ACLs Write/Upload to S3 is notified by HTTP-200 message. Faster upload of larger files can be done using multipart upload tool. S3 storage classes/Tier S3 (durable, immediately available, frequently accessed). S3-IA (durable, immediately available, infrequently accessed). S3-Reduced redundancy object (data that can be quickly reproducible from backup, like thumbnail etc). Gl...
