Example: what is aws
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a secure cloud services platform,
offering compute power, database storage and it helps Running
web and application servers
in the cloud to host dynamic websites.
in my company We use;
EC2:
- for Running application for different environments(Test, Dev enviroments).
- and also for Running Jenkins or any other application for testing purpose.
- and to Run load testing on the application.
We also use S3 (Simple Storage Service):
- It is Used for file storage, test data storage.
- It Can be used for part of data processing workflow.
- and also it Can also be used as code repository.
IAM (Identity and Access Management) is a web service that helps you
securely control access to AWS resources. You use IAM to control who is
authenticated (signed in) and authorized (has permissions) to use resources.
- I use IAM for Permission control of users, applications, typically
not configured by application team but by a cloud team.
RDS (Create a sample Postgresql database and connect using Dbeaver):
- is Used for database, launch database for different environments to
support the application.
Lambda:
- Serverless service that can provide quick and easy solution to run
your code without the involvement of EC2.
- Typically used for data processing incoming files.
