AWS had 1000+ services and AWS only bills for services you consume. Every AWS Region has slight differences in pricing. With AWS, you can get volume-based discounts and realize important savings as your usage increases. For services such as S3 and data transfer OUT from EC2, pricing is tiered, meaning the more you use, the less you pay per GB. For Amazon S3, you can use this calculator to estimate your monthly bill. For certain services like Amazon EC2 and Amazon RDS, you can invest in reserved capacity. With Reserved Instances, you can save up to 75% over equivalent on-demand capacity. Reserved …

Most of us use cloud storage apps on a day to day basis. There are many cloud storage apps available for Android. People love these apps because they can access their files in the cloud at any time, from nearly any device. We have tried to list out the most popular ones in Android. Feel free to comment, if you think anything more should have been a part of this list. ​ Box: You can share files and folders with other Box users and create links to share externally. Dropbox: You can flip through photo albums, edit and share important documents, and …

An instance is a virtual server in the AWS cloud. With Amazon EC2, we can set up and configure the operating system and applications that run on our instance. The instance is an Amazon EBS-backed instance (meaning that the root volume is an EBS volume). We can either specify the Availability Zone in which our instance runs or let Amazon EC2 select an Availability Zone for us. When we launch the instance, we secure it by specifying a key pair and security group. When we connect to the instance, we must specify the private key of the key pair that …

What is Hybrid Cloud? A cloud computing environment that uses a mix of on-premises, private cloud and third-party, public cloud services. Hybrid Cloud allows workloads to move between private and public clouds as computing needs and costs change. Thus, the hybrid cloud gives businesses greater flexibility and more data deployment options. What are the Trends in Hybrid Cloud? Public cloud services on-premises In 2015 Amazon Web Services announced Lambda, a serverless platform and a first of its kind that uses event-driven computing constructs (also sometimes referred to as functions as a service or FaaS). 2018 could be the year serverless …

We all know that AWS is the leader of the cloud computing services, it being the pioneer in the IaaS industry since 2006 and being 5 years ahead of other popular cloud service providers. However, this leads to certain inconveniences and drawbacks that can be exploited by the competition. Essentially, the sheer amount of AWS services is overwhelming. Google Cloud Platform rapidly adds new products. The important thing to note is that while AWS does offer a plethora of services, many of them are niche-oriented and only a few are essential for any project. And for these core features, we …

Handling multiple servers can be painful, especially in the short run. Multiple servers mean multiple developers who need to work on the same code, making the code repository difficult to handle in the long run. One of the biggest disadvantages, in the long run, is the resiliency, which causes the whole back end a mess, making the website crash and slow down eventually. AWS Lambda is a compute service that lets us run code without provisioning or managing servers. AWS Lambda executes our code only when needed and scales automatically, from a few requests per day to thousands per second. …
