This document provides an overview and introduction to Amazon Web Services (AWS) by Markku Lepistö. It covers: - Signing up for an AWS account and enabling multi-factor authentication on IAM users - Creating security groups and key pairs to launch and connect to EC2 instances - Using EBS volumes to back up and restore EC2 instances - Storing and serving files using S3 - Visualizing AWS costs and setting billing alerts - Migrating data to AWS using services like Snowball, Direct Connect, Kinesis and Storage Gateway

Getting Started with AWS

3. What we’ll cover today
 Creating an AWS account
 Creating an IAM user and enabling MFA
 Launching and connecting to EC2 instances
 Backing up and restoring EC2 instances
 Using S3 to store and serve files
 Visualizing AWS costs and setting billing alerts
 Migrating data to AWS

4. Characteristics of Cloud Computing?
On-Demand

…of IT resources via
the Internet…
…with pay-as-you-go
pricing

5. 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
 For more details: http://aws.amazon.com/free/

6. Signing up for an AWS account
 Sign up through https://aws.amazon.com
 You will need a credit card
 There will be a telephone verification

7. Demo: Signing up for AWS

8. 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.

9. 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

10. Demo: Creating an IAM user
and enabling MFA

11. Amazon EC2 – Creating an SSH key pair
 SSH stands for Secure Shell
 SSH keys are used for secured access to EC2 instances
 SSH keys avoid password weaknesses
 You can import your own key or have AWS generate a key pair for you.
 AWS does not store the private part of the key pair

12. Demo: Creating an SSH key
pair for Amazon EC2

13. Amazon EC2 – Creating a Security Group
 Security Groups are firewalls for your instances
 By default, they block all traffic
 You can choose what protocols and ports to open
 You can use port ranges (e.g. 22-24)
 You can choose who the ports are open to
 Create rules with CIDR notation for groups of IP addresses (/32 is a single IP)
 Create rules that specify Security Groups for other EC2 Instances

14. Demo: Creating a Security
Group in Amazon EC2

15. Amazon EC2 – Launching an Instance
 Instances are virtual machines running in the cloud
 You have full control of the instance and can install any
software that you choose
 You can choose the instance type and size to get different
amounts of memory, CPU, disk, etc.
 You will need your Key Pair and a Security Group to launch
the instance into

16. Demo: Launching and
connecting to EC2 Instances

17. Amazon EBS – Storage for EC2 Instances
 Amazon Elastic Block Store is persistent block storage for EC2 instances
 As small as 1GB and as large as 16TB
 Available in several different types
 Create snapshots of EBS volumes in S3 to create backups

18. Amazon EBS – Volume Types
General Purpose
SSD (gp2)
Provisioned IOPS
SSD (io1)
Throughput
Optimized HDD (st1)
Cold HDD (sc1)

21. Amazon S3
 S3 is Amazon’s Simple Storage Service
 Store and retrieve almost any amount of data: 1 byte to 5
terabytes per object
 Highly scalable and durable
 Encryption available
 Objects exist in the AWS region you choose
 Object level permissions
 Easily accessible

22. Demo: Storing and Serving
Objects with S3

23. Billing and Cost Management
 There are several features to help you monitor costs and
visualize your AWS spend:
 Cost Explorer
 Alerts on Spending Limits
 Detailed Billing Reports
 Consolidated Billing

24. Demo: Exploring Billing and
Cost Management
