Amazon Web Services - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia Page 1 Sur 2 Amazon Web Services - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Page 1 sur 2 Amazon Web Services From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Amazon Web Services (AWS) are a collection of remote computing services (also called web services) offered over the Internet by Amazon.com. Launched in July 2002, Amazon Web Services provide online Amazon Web Services logo services for other web sites or client-side applications. Most of these services are not exposed directly to end users, but instead offer functionality that other developers can use. In June 2007, Amazon claimed that more than 330,000 developers had signed up to use Amazon Web Services.[1] Amazon Web Services’ offerings are accessed over HTTP, using REST and SOAP protocols. All are billed on usage, with the exact form of usage varying from service to service.

  • Consistency in Cloud-Based Database Systems
    https://doi.org/10.31449/inf.v43i1.2650 Informatica 43 (2019) 313–319 313 Consistency in Cloud-based Database Systems Zohra Mahfoud USTHB University, Algeria E-mail: [email protected] Nadia Nouali-Taboudjemat CERIST Research Center, Algeria E-mail: [email protected] Keywords: cloud computing, consistency, distributed databases, relational databases, No-SQL, CAP Received: July 15, 2019 Cloud computing covers the large spectrum of services available on the internet. Cloud services use replication to ensure high availability. Within database replication, various copies of the same data item are stored in different sites, this situation requires managing the consistency of the multiple copies. In fact, the requirement for consistency level can be different according to application natures and other metrics; a delay of some minutes in visualizing latest posts in social networks can be tolerated, while some seconds can make a loss of a bid in an auction system. Wide variety of database management systems are used actually by cloud services, they support different levels of consistency to meet the diversity of needs. This paper draws a presentation of the main characteristics of cloud computing and data management systems and describes different consistency models. Then it discusses the most famous cloud-based database management systems from the point of view of their data and consistency models. Povzetek: Prispevek analizira podatkovna skladišča v oblakih predvsem s stališča konsistentnosti. 1 Introduction Cloud computing refers to the large spectrum of services cloud systems and describes the implemented models of available on the internet. These services manage big data and consistency. Section 6 concludes the paper.

  • Data with Simpledb
    DATA WITH SIMPLEDB Amazon’s SimpleDB is a distributed document-oriented database. SimpleDB shares many characteristics of relational databases, but it also has some significant dissimilarities. For instance, like a relational database, SimpleDB is designed for storing tuples of related information. Unlike a relational database, SimpleDB does not provide data ordering services—that is left to the programmer. Instead of tables, SimpleDB offers domains, which are schema-less. A domain is filled with items— similar to a row. Each item must have a unique name (which is not generated by SimpleDB) and may contain up to 256 attributes. Each attribute can have multiple values. The following table is an example domain for a Person. Note that the “Phones” attribute contains more than one value for Bob and Joe. Item Name Age Phones Bob 21 (555)555-1212 (555)555-7777 Alice 22 (555)555-1213 Joe 32 (555)555-1432 (555)555-5432 TABLE 1 - TABULAR REPRESENTATION OF A SAMPLE DOMAIN. All item names and attribute values in SimpleDB are strings. All comparisons during queries are string-based comparisons. This means that non-string data types (such as numbers), need to be converted into a single, consistent lexigraphic representation for storage (zero padding for numbers.) Queries are performed in a custom query language. Queries are formed from predicates. A predicate is a simple comparison expression, surrounded by square brackets. For instance: [‘Age’ = ‘22’]. A query with that predicate will return Alice from TABLE 1. Predicates can be combined with the union, intersection, or not keyword. For instance: [‘Age’ = ‘22’] union [‘Age’ = ‘32’] will return Bob and Joe from TABLE 1.

  • Netflix's Transition to a Key V3
    Netflix’s Transition to High-Availability Storage Systems Siddharth “Sid” Anand October 2010 1. Abstract The CAP Theorem states that it is possible to optimize for any 2 of Consistency, Availability, and Network Partition Tolerance, but not all three. Though presented by Eric Brewer in 2000 and proved in 2002, the CAP Theorem has only recently gained significant awareness and that primarily among engineers working on high-traffic applications. With spreading awareness of the CAP theorem, there has been a proliferation of development on AP (a.k.a. Available-Network Partition Tolerant) systems – systems that offer weaker consistency guarantees for higher availability and network partition tolerance. Much of the interest in these AP systems is in the social networking and web entertainment space where eventual consistency issues are relatively easy to mask. Netflix is one company that is embracing AP systems. This paper addresses Netflix’s transition to AWS SimpleDB and S3, examples of AP storage systems. 2. Motivation Circa late 2008, Netflix had a single data center. This single data center raised a few concerns. As a single- point-of-failure (a.k.a. SPOF), it represented a liability – data center outages meant interruptions to service and negative customer impact. Additionally, with growth in both streaming adoption and subscription levels, Netflix would soon outgrow this data center -- we foresaw an imminent need for more power, better cooling, more space, and more hardware. One option was to build more data centers. Aside from high upfront costs, this endeavor would likely tie up key engineering resources in data center scale out activities, making them unavailable for new product initiatives.

  • Amazon – Geschäftsmodell Eines Online-Giganten Über Die Relevanz
    Amazon – Geschäftsmodell eines Online-Giganten Über die Relevanz von Kundendaten Facharbeit im Fach Informatik vorgelegt von Aline Luksch Bern, Schweiz Matrikelnummer 11-734-621 Angefertigt am Institut für Informatik der Universität Zürich Prof. Dr. Lorenz M. Hilty Betreuer: Prof. Dr. Lorenz M. Hilty Abgabe der Arbeit: 15. Januar 2015 Amazon – Geschäftsmodell eines Online-Giganten Eine Facharbeit von Aline Luksch Zusammenfassung! In dieser Arbeit wird ein kurzer Überblick über das Geschäftsmodell von Amazon gegeben und es wird aufgezeigt welche Relevanz dabei die Kundendaten haben. Amazon zählt zu den grössten amerikanischen Unternehmen, die das Internetbusiness dominieren. Die zentrale Forschungsfrage in dieser Arbeit lautet: Welche Rolle spielen die Kundendaten im Ge- schäftsmodell von Amazon? Diese wird mit Hilfe von vier Unterfragen beantwortet. Es wird zum einen nach dem Nutzen der gesammelten Kundendaten gefragt und zum anderen nach den Veränderungen die sich durch das Sammeln von Kundendaten ergeben. Aber es wird auch nach dem Geschäftsmodell mit mehr Kundendaten und auf der anderen Seite nach dem Geschäftsmodell ohne Kundendaten gefragt. Diese Fragen werden durch eine ausführliche Literaturrecherche beantwortet. Amazon nutzt die Kundendaten vor allem für ihr Empfehlungssystem auf der Website amazon.com selber. Durch Analysen und Vergleiche der Kundendaten kann dem Kunden immer ein optimal passendes Produkt empfohlen werden. Die Veränderungen durch die Nut- zung von Kundendaten sind vor allem in der Verlagswelt und im Buchschreibeprozess zu fin- den. Bereits heute existieren Datenabkommen mit verschiedenen anderen Onlinefirmen. Es ist anzunehmen, dass das Geschäftsmodell sich nicht grundlegend verändern würde, wenn noch mehr solche Abkommen zustande kommen. Die Menge an Kundendaten würde noch deutlich erhöht werden. Wenn Amazon keine Kundendaten mehr sammeln würde, müsste Amazon eine Alternative zu seinem Empfehlungssystem finden, da dieses System auf den Kundenda- ten basiert und eine zentrale Position im Geschäftsmodell von Amazon einnimmt.

    Cloud Computing Architecture based on AWS A Story About Change In Thinking of Enterprise Architecture Adam Smolnik Agenda 1. Introduction 2. (My) Pre-Cloud Mindset 3. Trigger to change Mindset 4. A bit of Cloud Computing Theory 5. Amazon AWS in a nutshell 6. (My) Cloud Mindset in force 7. Recommendations, Common gaps, Challenges/Threats 8. Q&A Introduction The Open Group’s notes on Cloud Computing: Cloud Computing is an Internet phenomenon, the latest major evolution in computing. The great milestone following the emergence of the mainframe, the minicomputer, the microprocessor, the PC, the Internet, and the World-Wide Web. Why mention Enterprise Architecture (EA)? As per Grady Booch: EA attends to the architecture of a business that uses technology; Technical Architecture (TA) attends to the architecture of the software- intensive systems that support that business. Cloud Computing is likely to impact not only TA, but also the entire EA along with its business workflow, offerings and pricing model, procurement, new cost and resources optimization processes in place. Pre-Cloud Mindset – in general My thoughts on Cloud Computing from before ~3 years: Hype & marketing buzzword – a new marketing trick. The idea without a clear and unambiguous definition. At best a more sophisticated approach to hosting of applications. Glaring *aaS… (IaaS, PaaS etc.) at every turn. Affects only TA and not EA nor the Enterprise as a whole. Pre-Cloud Mindset – IT Infrastructure IT architecture as something given up front – apps should be tuned to own IT infrastructure. No room to discuss – only complaining about scarce resources (memory, processor, disk volume etc.).
