Abstract

Cloud computing is not strange to people at all. People use their iPhone and their iPad App to store their important files. Microsoft 2013 users use the SkyDrive to store their files and they can access anywhere and anytime. Major venders such as Google, Amazon, and Microsoft have provided Cloud Computing services. This paper discusses the Amazon Web Services (AWS) and evaluates the scalability, dependability, manageability, and adaptability of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud, Amazon Simple Storage Service, and RightScale. Moreover, this paper examines the security concerns for cloud-based services and assesses scalability, reliability, and cost issues.

Assess how Ericsson benefitted from Amazon Web Service (AWS) in terms of cost reduction, automated software updates, remote access, and on-demand availability

Ericsson is one of the world’s leading providers of technology and services to telecom operators. There are reasons how Ericsson success like that. According to the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Case study, Ericsson uses AWS such as Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), and RightScale for provisioning and auto-scale functionality. AWS give many benefits to Ericsson. For example, Ericsson saves money to invest to build on-premises infrastructure by using AWS. Ericsson also saves the time to build and install the infrastructure. Some of the technical benefits of cloud computing include automation and auto-scaling. AWS had the ability to deploy new applications and automated software updates instantly. AWS are able to scale up and down as demand changed and drive more efficiency. With Amazon S3, Ericsson can add any amount of content and access anywhere. AWS provides on-demand access to scalable web and application servers, storage, databases, content delivery, cache, search and...
