AWS - Setup/Integration/Programming/Training/Consultation/Guidance

The Amazon Web Services (AWS) are a collection of remote computing services (also called web services) that together make up a cloud computing platform. Amazon Web Services delivers a number of benefits for IT organizations and developers alike, including Cost-effectiveness, Dependable, Flexible and Comprehensive. You can find more information about AWS here.

Using Amazon Web Services, an e-commerce web site can weather unforeseen demand with ease; a pharmaceutical company can "rent" computing power to execute large-scale simulations; a media company can serve unlimited videos, music, and more; and an enterprise can deploy bandwidth-consuming services and training to its mobile workforce. So if you have very high scalable and performance needs for your website, Amazon AWS is ought to look for.

Following are few services we provide that will give you an idea of how we can help your business to embrace the power of Amazon Web Services:

Migration of your Service/Website to Amazon AWS Cloud



 There are several things involved in porting your existing website or service on Amazon AWS Cloud. As per our experience, we have driven down the entire process in these short set of steps:
  • Move static web content to S3 storage first. Images, css stylesheets, javascript files, html, etc can all be moved to S3.
  • The content on S3 can be served by Amazon Cloudfront service which is Amazon’s CDN(content delivery network) service. Once you persist your data on S3, your users will get those objects from the S3 servers located closest to them.
  • Move applications and webserver layer to the EC2 infrastructure. Here I'll be deploying your code into cloud infrastructure.
  • Creating availability zones to withstand failures. If the US datacenters have problems, European datacenters would be able to absorb the shock and keep our services available.
  • Start using Amazons auto-scaling functionality to add/remove infrastructure automatically depending on the load on the system.
  • The most complicated part is moving our databases to the AWS cloud. I think we'll better use EBS (Elastic Block Storage) and take snapshots to S3 as we have to use existing mysql database. I'll be also doing DB replication across availability zones to keep your site available during single datacenter failures.
  • At this point most of your application components are in the cloud, so we can start using new amazon services.
  • After your apps are all configured on aws, this would be a good time to setup monitoring using CloudWatch service.

Amazon Web Services Programming & Integration

Making an existing website work in the cloud is one thing, but if you want to tightly and dynamically integrate Amazon AWS into your website then some parts of the code has to be modified. For example, instead of uploading files to local webserver FTP you need to upload to Amazon S3, then your code must communicate with Amazon for such transfers. Similarly, normal database operations and Amazon SimpleDB or RDS needs some amendments to the code.

Amazon AWS supports almost every programming language including Java, PHP, Python, Ruby and Microsoft .NET. We use several tools as well to perform general operations. And our especially adept at following frameworks:
  • AWS SDK for Java
  • AWS SDK for .NET
  • AWS SDK for PHP
