WHY AND HOW ADOBE ADOPTED AWS CLOUD?
hey….
I am here with another Interesting blog on How AWS Leveraging the power of companies/startups like gametion, adobe and Netflix to Grow their business to the next level. There are many more companies deploy their servers in AWS.
Let’s begin by understanding What is cloud computing??
The practice of using a network of remote servers hosted on the Internet to store, manage, and process data, rather than a local server or a personal computer is known as Cloud Computing.
What’s Importance Of Cloud Computing…?
As we see, Cloud Computing is one of the most flamboyant technological innovation of the 21st century. Here we are probably using cloud computing right now, even we don’t know about it. Suppose if you are using an online service to send emails, edit documents, watch movies or TV, listen to music, play games or store pictures and other files, it is likely that cloud computing is making it all possible behind the scenes.
As we most of the cases seen that, like one of the startup company running their program on the top of their own system with some limited resources(RAM/CPU). In case their program goes viral within a day/night/hours and millions of users hitting their site and due to ample/lack of resources their server goes down, the site will crash and goes down, they face downtime/server down problem, by the meantime company incurring loss.
Then the role of Cloud Computing comes in play :
we don’t want to invest money in purchasing the upfront that is hardware by our own, so we bought it from the cloud resources as a per-usage basis, we can pay for the upfront as pay as we go model provided by cloud, we can ask cloud do you have any service that provides us hardware, cloud say yes we have a compute service that provides RAM and CPU(compute unit) and storage service that provides hard-disk(storage unit).
Cloud Computing is like a service provider that provide services or resources to the customers and they charge us as pay as we go model.
There are various types of Cloud Computing:-
Public Cloud
Public cloud is a term for cloud computing services offered over the public Internet and available to anyone who wants to purchase them.
Private Cloud
Private cloud is a type of cloud computing that delivers similar advantages to public cloud, including scalability and self-service, but through a proprietary architecture. Unlike public clouds, which deliver services to multiple organizations, a private cloud is dedicated to the needs and goals of a single organization.
Multi-Cloud
Multicloud is a cloud approach made up of more than 1 cloud service, from more than 1 cloud vendor — public or private. For example, your enterprise invests in expanding a cloud infrastructure.
Hybrid Cloud
Hybrid cloud is a solution that combines a private cloud with one or more public cloud services, with proprietary software enabling communication between each distinct service. Hybrid cloud services are powerful because they give businesses greater control over their private data.
- Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a Public Cloud and a subsidiary of Amazon providing on-demand cloud computing platform.
AWS was officially launched on March 14, 2006, combining the three initial service offerings of Amazon S3 cloud storage, SQS, and EC2. The AWS platform finally provided an integrated suite of core online services and also services offered to other developers, web sites, client-side applications, and companies.
AWS works on the Pay-as-you-Go model .i.e., charges are based on a combination of usage hardware, operating system, software, or networking features chosen by the subscriber.
According to Amazon, the number of active AWS users exceeds 1,000,000. AWS is used by some of the most well-known brands in existence, such as Netflix, Uber, and Airbnb and many more. They also support Startups. The services they provided are from every domain from Machine Learning, BlockChain, IOT to AR/VR, Gaming, Quantum Computing, Robotics and many more.

AWS Data Centers: Aws have availability across the worldwide and provide accessibility anywhere without any latency.
AWS mainly launches 3 availability zone in a specific region for many reasons like due to any disaster condition one availability zone goes down then it switch another availability zone without any downtime. Behind the scenes, aws spread the same data in different zones of data centres for future use.
