What is AWS cloud computing? AWS is the undisputed market leader in cloud computing today. Even though there are few worthy competitors, it doesn’t seem like anyone will push them off the podium for a while. Why is this, and how can we be sure they will remain a top player for years? Because this pattern has occurred in the history of the technology industry repeatedly. IN THEIR BOOK THE

I don’t know about you, but whenever I buy a computer, I go to the store, see which computer is the cheapest and has the features I want, and pull the trigger regardless of the brand. This is the perfect example of a King Market. It is difficult to differentiate yourself and stand out, and there is little to no brand loyalty among consumers.Personal computer operating systems – Whenever I

The market share, influence, and adoption of AWS It is hard to argue that AWS is not the gorilla in the cloud market. For the first nine years of AWS’s existence, Amazon did not break down its AWS sales and profits. As of January 2021, Microsoft does not fully break down its Azure revenue and profit in its quarterly reports. They disclosed their Azure revenue growth rate without reporting the

Basic cloud and AWS terminology There is a constant effort by technology companies to offer common standards for certain technologies while providing exclusive and proprietary technology that no one else offers. An example of this can be seen in the database market. The Standard Query Language (SQL) and the ANSI-SQL standard have been around for a long time. The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) adopted SQL as the SQL-86 standard

Why is cloud computing so popular? Depending on who you ask, some estimates peg the global cloud computing market at around USD 445 billion in 2021, growing to about USD 950 billion by 2026. This implies a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of around 17% for the period.There are multiple reasons why the cloud market is growing so fast. Some of them are listed here: Let’s look at the most

Web storefront A famous use case for cloud services is to use it to run an online storefront. Website traffic in this scenario will be highly variable depending on the day of the week, whether it’s a holiday, the time of day, and other factors—almost every retail store in the USA experiences more than a 10x user workload during Thanksgiving week. The same goes for boxing day in the UK,

Security The perception of on-premises environments being more secure than cloud environments was a common reason companies big and small would not migrate to the cloud. More and more enterprises now realize that it is tough and expensive to replicate the security features provided by cloud providers such as AWS. Let’s look at a few of the measures that AWS takes to ensure the security of its systems. Physical security

AWS supports compliance standards. AWS has robust controls to allow users to maintain security and data protection. We’ll be discussing how AWS shares security responsibilities with their customers, but the same is true with how AWS supports compliance. AWS provides many attributes and features that enable compliance with many standards established in different countries and organizations. By providing these features, AWS simplifies compliance audits. AWS enables the implementation of security

Faster hardware cycles When hardware is provisioned on-premises, it starts becoming obsolete from the instant that it is purchased. Hardware prices have been on an exponential downtrend since the first computer was invented, so the server you bought a few months ago may now be cheaper, or a new version of the server may be out that’s faster and still costs the same. However, waiting until hardware improves or becomes

The first pillar – Security Security should always be a top priority in both on-premises and cloud architectures. All security aspects should be considered, including data encryption and protection, access management, infrastructure security, network security, monitoring, and breach detection and inspection. You can find the security pillar checklist from Well-Architected Tool below, which has ten questions with one or more options relevant to your workload:The next pillar, reliability, is almost
