- 4. What we assume you already know: EC2 Instance + Windows Server OS = AWS provides pre-configured Windows AMI’s to start running fully supported Windows Server virtual machines in the cloud in minutes
- 5. Isn’t cloud Windows.. different? • Full, real, licensed Windows Server OS • 2003, 2008, 2008r2, all via our Microsoft SPLA licensing means no CAL’s required • SQL Server Web and Standard via SPLA as well • VPC for static, secure, user-defined networks • Security groups for easy-to-configure firewalls per VM • Easily install services and software that you know AD, ADFS, SCOM, WSUS, SQL, Exchange, SharePoint, Media Services, etc. • All the benefits of a cloud infrastructure without the… weird
- 6. What’s Big, What’s Easy, What’s New • Web Applications Applications • WebMatrix • SAP, Sage, ESRI, etc • .net and IIS • Media Applications • Microsoft Applications • Transcoding, Encoding • SharePoint • Windows HPC Cluster • SQL Server • Genomics • Exchange • CFD, CAD • System Center • Financials • Windows Media Services • Software Dev and Test • ADFS

- 14. Security
- 15. Security: Shared Responsibility Model AWS Customer • Facilities • Operating System • Physical Security • Application • Physical Infrastructure • Security Groups • Network Infrastructure • OS Firewalls • Virtualization • Network Configuration Infrastructure • Account Management
- 16. So, what do you do about it? SAS 70 Type II Audit Encrypt data in transit ISO 27001/2 Certification Encrypt data at rest PCI DSS 2.0 Level 1-5 Protect your AWS Credentials HIPAA/SOX Compliance Infrastructure Application Rotate your keys FISMA Moderate Security Security Secure your OS and applications FEDRamp / GSA ATO How we measure that our How can you secure your infrastructure is secure application and what is your responsibility? Services Security What security options Enforce IAM policies and features are Use MFA, VPC, Leverage S3 bucket policies, available to you? EC2 Security groups, EFS in EC2 Etc..
- 17. Networking and Security • No: • Multicast, Broadcast, Anycast, IP spoofing, Clustering • VPC • Statics, Routing, Network ACL + Security Group, Ingress/Egress • VPN • Direct Connect
- 18. Networking and Security • AWS Credentials • IAM (hint: Try the policy wizard!) • For your Staff • For your Applications • MFA • Secure Delete! • Instance Credentials • Keypairs • Passwords
- 19.

- 23. SQL Server
- 24. “With AWS and 2nd Watch, we have found a much more cost effective way to keep the lights on for a critical part of our infrastructure while reducing the risk of IT resources getting distracted from our core business strategies.” David Barbieri, SVP and CIO Business Benefits Infra Cost Comparison • Big savings over existing infrastructure ~58% savings! AWS Cloud • Faster network speeds Infrastructure • Improved load times Old Infrastructure • Already planning future migrations SW Apps: • SharePoint 2010 • SQL Server 2008 • Umbraco CMS
- 25. SQL Server QnD Instance Type Matters! m1.xlarge /= m2.xlarge IO Throughput is, well, important Cluster Compute for non-HPC: DB on CC EBS /= SAN Raid0 isn’t quite what you think on EC2 Snapshots! ENI for HA
- 26. Example: a fork-lifted app, with a fork-lifted DB
- 28. Replication

Notas do Editor
- Security and Operational Excellence is the Top most priority. Its Priority 0. No exceptions allowed. We understand that Security and governance are often the top issues identified when we talk to our customers. Instead of tossing this over the fence, we really advice and highly recommend our customers to invest in security review early in the process. Get your security folks talk to our security folks and understand security and compliance. Security is really not on or off. It’s a spectrum of options that you can choose from that is right for your application.
- Autodesk leverages Amazon VPC as extension of their corporate datacenter. VPC is part of their internal network. They had 3 datacenters since 2009, VPC is 4th datacenter. It was so successful within Autodesk that they identified several new business opportunities and products as a result of this integration.
