AWS services in India offering has now
become a huge operation compared to its launch way back in 2006... When I say
huge, I mean huge. To give you an idea of scale, the comparable infrastructure
and computing power that supported the entire AWS offering back in 2006 is now
added each and every day to satisfy ever growing demand.
AWS is spread across eight geographic areas, with local edge
locations to provide proxy caching nearest to your location. This provides redundancy,
high availability and improved performance.
AWS provides a fairly complete set of services to run almost
anything you like and practically on a scale that is only really limited by how
much you're willing to spend. This gives CIO's and CTO's options to play with
but there is still some reticent about what should or should not 'go into the
cloud'...
So what can it offer you? Well, helpfully AWS provide
'Reference Architectures' to help you conceptualize particular architecture
scenarios. You can find approaches to help you with Large Scale Processing,
Batch Processing, Disaster Recovery, Online Gaming and of course their bread
and butter ecommerce approach.
Is it Secure?
Debates still rage over 'security in the cloud' and while
cloud services are maturing it would be wrong to simply assume that the
security aspect will somehow simply go away.
AWS is probably as secure as it can be, at least on paper.
AWS will reassure you with Multi-Factor Authentication, Encryption and various
security accreditations’ up to military levels. You can even implement your own
security models to your own standards. The question has to be answered, though,
do you trust AWS to manage and protect your data and services? On the flip side
given that AWS services in India have 'handed over
the keys' to the customer to build their own services security becomes a shared
responsibility. For each customer the view, approach and even the decision will
be different. Local laws may also affect your decision about what type of data
you are allowed to host.
