Key Points

1. AWS services can come at 3 layers: iaas, paas, saas
2. Most references to AWS refer to paas - EC2 instances and the services that run on them
3. EC2 instances can be Windows or Linux
4. A low-cost iaas option is LightSail - a VPS server that is fixed price, low-cost with internet connectivity etc - easier to plan than EC2 costs
5. Effective cost management of AWS resources and services is a HUGE issue for most companies
6. EBS - elastic block storage - can be mounted and file system created for use. can be attached to any single instance

Great catching up as always, Jim. Maybe we'll finally meet in person post-vaccination this summer!

EBS volumes are highly available and reliable storage volumes that can be attached to any running instance that is in the same Availability Zone. EBS volumes that are attached to an EC2 instance are exposed as storage volumes that persist independently from the life of the instance. With Amazon EBS, you pay only for what you use. For more information about Amazon EBS pricing, see the Projecting Costs section of the Amazon Elastic Block Store page.

The most mature AWS customers are running more than 80% of their EC2 infrastructure covered by RI purchases. A best practice is to not let this number dip below 60% for maximum efficiency.

The most oft-used tools used for managing cloud costs include AWS Cost Explorer, Cloudability (Apptio), CloudHealth (VMWare), Azure Cost Management, GCP Cost Tools, and Cloudcheckr. About half, 46%, use cloud native tooling as their primary technology, 43% use a 3rd party platform, and 11% use home grown tools or spreadsheets. At the same time, many FinOps practitioners still rely on data collection, collation, and analysis via spreadsheet. Almost all practitioners use a combination of tooling, while still relying on spreadsheets for some tasks -- with forecasting being the biggest Excel use.

AWS Systems Manager Agent (SSM Agent) is Amazon software that can be installed and configured on an Amazon EC2 instance, an on-premises server, or a virtual machine (VM). SSM Agent makes it possible for Systems Manager to update, manage, and configure these resources. The agent processes requests from the Systems Manager service in the AWS Cloud, and then runs them as specified in the request. SSM Agent then sends status and execution information back to the Systems Manager service by using the Amazon Message Delivery Service (service prefix: ec2messages).

POJO Object graphs

Your Java classes define your data model. With EclipseStore, there are no specific requirements to your classes. You can just use plain Java objects (POJOs). There is no need for specific superclasses, interfaces, annotations, mappings, or any other internal configurations.

• Use plain Java objects (POJOs)
• No superclass, interfaces, annotations
• No other internal configurations required
• All Java types supported
• Using inheritance is trouble-free

Storing Objects 
ACID Transaction-Safe

To persist objects in the storage, you just have to call a simple store method. By default, EclipseStore persists only new and changed objects (the delta). You decide explicitly, if and when objects are persisted. The objects are stored in a binary file appended to the file storage. Every store an atomic all-or- nothing blocking operation which is ACID transaction-safe and full consistent.

• Atomic all-or-nothing operation
• Blocking operation
• ACID transaction-safe
• Full consistency
• Append-log strategy
• Micro snapshot to store latest changes (delta)
• Rollback for operations on the object graph
• High IO speed through Eclipse Serializer
• Max IO speed by multithreaded IO ops 

query customers 

DataRoot root = EclipseStoreDemo.root();
root.getCustomers().add(customer);
EclipseStoreDemo.store(root.getCustomers());

CSV export / import

By using CSV Import/Export or other converters, any data can be migrated at any time in both directions easily.

create an admin user acct 

If you don't already have an access key for your AWS account root user, don't create one unless you absolutely need to. Instead, use your account email address and password to sign in to the AWS Management Console and create an IAM user for yourself that has administrative permissions.
