AWS Learning Series 1- Cloud computing 101

"Cloud Computing" is the need-based provision of IT resources via the Internet at usage-based prices.

Key advantages:
Agility
Elasticity
Cost savings
Go-global in minutes (Worldwide deployments in mins)
Metered billings (Pay-as-you-go)

Types of Cloud computing:
Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)
Platform as a Service (PaaS)

CIPS are defined in the context of this "Magic Quadrant" as "standardised, highly automated offerings in which infrastructure resources (e.g. compute, network and storage resources) are supplemented with integrated platform services".

Global Infrastructure AWS
The AWS Global Cloud Infrastructure is the most secure, extensive, and reliable cloud platform, offering over 200 fully featured services from data centres globally. Whether you need to deploy your application workloads across the globe in a single click, or you want to build and deploy specific applications closer to your end-users with single-digit millisecond latency, AWS provides you the cloud infrastructure where and when you need it.

No other cloud provider offers so many regions and Availability Zones, all characterized by low latency, high throughput and a highly redundant network. AWS is available in 84 Availability Zones within 26 geographic regions worldwide. In addition, 24 additional Availability Zones and 8 additional AWS regions in Australia, Canada, India, Israel, New Zealand, Spain, Switzerland and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) are planned. The AWS Regions and Availability Zones model is recommended by Gartner as a best practice for running enterprise applications that require high availability.
