Amazon Web Services Integration
Amazon Web Services, cloud services redesigned by Amazon
Launched in 2006 , Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the Cloud Computing platform bringing together Amazon's Cloud services. AWS offers more than 200 native services covering a variety of technologies, sectors and use cases that can serve CIOs.
Its global footprint has greatly expanded, covering 87 Availability Zones in 27 geographic regions. The AWS Cloud has millions of active users and tens of thousands of partners worldwide. In terms of pricing, it has a usage-based approach that is implemented for the majority of services, allowing CIOs to adapt their budget to their specific needs and expectations.
Security, availability, and performance characterize this market leader. Many services are offered to users :
- Amazon Simple Storage (S3) : Stores Data Confidentially
- AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) : Manages identities and access to AWS services and resources
- AWS Security Groups : Controls Traffic to Resources
- AWS Secrets Manager : centrally monitors the lifecycle of secrets (e.g. passwords, DB IDs, API keys, ...)
- Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) : Configures, manages, and replicates all types of relational databases
- Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) : dynamically scales resources using instances to accommodate the specific workloads needed
- Amazon CloudFront : Delivers content with Low Latency and High Transfer Speeds
