 The AWS Free Tier
Includes most AWS services
Available for all new accounts
Good for one year from the day the account is created

Everything we show today

can be done within the
free tier

Signing Up For An AWS Account
You will need a credit card
There will be a telephone verification
Go to https://aws.amazon.com
First Steps: Creating IAM Users

Using AWS Identity and Access

Management (IAM), you can
create and manage AWS users
and groups.

You can control what resources

each user has access to within an
AWS account.
First Steps: Enabling MFA

AWS allows you to require multi-

factor authentication for your
users through physical or software-
based single use login tokens.

This protects against stolen

passwords and key loggers.

Enable this on IAM users and the

root account

Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)
EC2 Instances are Virtual Servers in the cloud.

Features -
Pre-configured Amazon Machine Image - OS, apps, etc.
Instance type - memory, CPU, network, etc.
Key Pair - secure login
Security Group firewall
Network Access
Storage volumes
and other settings
Choosing the Right Amazon EC2 Instance

EC2 instance types are optimized for different use cases and come in multiple
sizes. This allows you to optimally scale resources to your workload requirements.
AWS uses Intel Xeon processors for EC2 instances, providing customers with
high performance and value.
Consider the following when choosing your instances: Core count, memory size,
storage size and type, network performance, and CPU technologies.
Hurry Up and Go Idle - A larger compute instance can save you time and money,
therefore paying more per hour for a shorter amount of time can be less expensive.

Get the Intel Advantage
Intels latest 22nm Haswell microarchitecture on new C4 instances,
with custom Intel Xeon v3 processors, provides new features:
Haswell microarchitecture has better branch prediction; greater
efficiency at prefetching instructions and data; along with other
improvements that can boost existing applications performance by
30% or more
P state and C state control provides the ability to individually tune each
cores performance and sleep states to improve application performance
Intel AVX2.0 instructions can double the floating-point performance for
compute-intensive workloads over Intel AVX, and provide additional
instructions useful for compression and encryption
Intel Processor Technologies
Intel AVX Get dramatically better performance for highly parallel
HPC workloads such as life science engineering, data mining, financial
analysis, or other technical computing applications. AVX also enhances
image, video, and audio processing.
Intel AES-NI Enhance your security with these new encryption
instructions that reduce the performance penalty associated with
encrypting/decrypting data.
Intel Turbo Boost Technology Get more computing power when
you need it with performance that adapts to spikes in your workload with
Intel Turbo Boost Technology 2.0

Amazon EBS Storage For EC2 Instances

Amazon Elastic Block Store(EBS) is persistent block storage for EC2

instances

Each volume can be as small as 1GB and as large as 16TB

Available in several different types

Encryption for data-at-rest and data-in-transit between EC2 instances

and EBS volumes.

Create snapshots of EBS volumes in Amazon S3 to create backups
