AWS Cloud Fundamentals Course


1. Advantages of Cloud Computing
Cloud computing offers multiple advantages over traditional on-premises computing:

 Avoiding large capital purchases: No need for upfront investments in hardware.


 Using on-demand capacity: Scale resources up or down as needed.
 Going global in minutes: Deploy applications across regions quickly.
 Increasing speed and agility: Faster deployment and adaptability to changes.
 All of these benefits make cloud computing a flexible and cost-effective solution.

2. AWS Pricing Model


AWS uses a pay-as-you-go pricing model, allowing customers to pay only for the resources
they use on an as-needed basis. This eliminates the need for large upfront investments and
provides cost flexibility.

3. Cloud Computing Models


The standard cloud computing models are:

 Platform as a Service (PaaS): Provides a platform for app development without


managing infrastructure.
 Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS): Offers virtualized computing resources like
servers and storage.
 Software as a Service (SaaS): Delivers software applications over the internet.
 System administration as a service is not a recognized cloud computing model.

4. Infrastructure Management in AWS


AWS owns and maintains the network-connected hardware required for application services,
such as servers and data centers. Customers are responsible for provisioning and using the
resources they need, aligning with the shared responsibility model where AWS handles the
underlying infrastructure.

5. Benefits of Cloud Computing Over On-Premises


Cloud computing provides several benefits over on-premises setups:

 Increase speed and agility: Rapid deployment and scaling.


 Eliminate guessing on infrastructure capacity needs: Scale resources dynamically.
 Trade capital expense for variable expense: Pay only for what you use.
 Benefit from massive economies of scale: Lower costs due to shared infrastructure.
 However, paying for racking, stacking, and powering servers is not a benefit, as
this is handled by AWS, not the customer.

6. Non-Benefits of AWS Cloud Computing


The following are not benefits of AWS cloud computing:

 Multiple procurement cycles: Cloud computing simplifies procurement, avoiding


lengthy cycles.
 High latency: AWS aims to reduce latency through global infrastructure and services
like Amazon CloudFront.

7. AWS Compute Services


AWS offers compute services to provide scalable computing power:

 Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud): A compute service that provides virtual
servers for running applications, offering scalable and flexible computing capacity.
8. Accessing Cloud Resources
Cloud computing provides a simple way to access servers, storage, databases, and application
services over the internet. However, customers do not own the network-connected hardware;
AWS owns and maintains it, while customers provision the resources they need.

9. Economies of Scale in AWS


Economies of scale in AWS result from having hundreds of thousands of customers
aggregated in the cloud. This large customer base allows AWS to optimize resource usage,
reduce costs, and pass savings on to customers through lower pricing.

10. Ways to Access AWS Core Services


AWS provides multiple ways to access its core services:

 AWS Management Console: A web-based interface for managing AWS resources.


 AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI): A tool for managing AWS services via
command-line scripts.
 Software Development Kits (SDKs): Libraries and tools for programmatically
interacting with AWS services in various programming languages.

Summary
AWS Cloud Fundamentals include understanding the advantages of cloud computing, such as
cost savings and scalability, and the pay-as-you-go pricing model. AWS supports standard
cloud models (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS), manages infrastructure hardware, and provides benefits like
speed, agility, and economies of scale. Customers can access AWS services through the
Management Console, CLI, and SDKs, while services like Amazon EC2 provide scalable
computing power.
