On the fifty sixth day, I learned the following things about Cloud Computing.
-
Memory optimized instances are designed to deliver fast performance for workloads that process large data sets in memory.
-
There are three types of series in it and each of them have subtypes also.
-
R series
- R4
- R5
- R5a
- R5ad
- R5d
-
X series
- X1
- X1e
-
Z series
- Z1d
-
-
R series: It is used for high performance, ralational(MySQL) and NoSQL(MongoDB, Cassandra) databases.
-
Distributed web scale cache stores that provide in-memory caching of key value type data. To process more data in the run time, R series will be used.
-
It is used in financial services like Hadoop.
- vCPU -> 2 to 96
- RAM -> 16 to 768 GB
- Instance Storage -> EBS and NVMe SSD
-
X series: It is well suited for high performance database, memory intensive enterprise applications, relational database workload, and SAP HANA applications.
-
It is used in electronic design automation.
- vCPU -> 4 to 128
- RAM -> 122 to 3904 GB
- Instance Storage -> SSD
-
Z series: Z series delivers a sustained all core frequency upto 4.0 GHz, the fastest of any cloud instances.
-
It uses AWS Nitro system, XEON processor and upto 1.8 TB of instances storage.
- vCPU -> 2 to 48
- RAM -> 16 to 384 GB
- Instance Storage -> NVM SSD
-
It is used in electronic design, automation and certain databases workloads with high per-core licensing cost.
-
Storage optimized instances are designed for workloads that require high, sequential read and write access to very large data.
-
They are optimized to deliver tens of thousands of low latency, random I/O operations per second(IOPS) to application.
-
There are three types of series in it.
- D series
- D2
- H series
- H1
- I series
- I3
- I3en
- D series
-
D series: It is well suited for massive parallel processing (MPP) in data warehouse, map reduce, hadoop distributed computing, and log or data processing app.
- vCPU -> 4 to 36
- RAM -> 30.5 to 244 GB
- Instance Storage -> SSD
-
H series: This series will provide you upto 16TB of HDD based local storage, high disk throughput(result) and balance of compute and memory of storage.
-
Well suited for app requiring sequential access to large amounts of data on direct-attached instance storage.
-
There is another storage that is network-attached storage that will be accessible through a network, not directly accessible. EBS is the network-attached storage.
-
Application that requires high throughput access to large quantities of data.
- vCPU -> 8 to 64
- RAM -> 32 to 256 GB
- Instance Storage -> HDD
-
I series: It is well suited for High frequency online transaction processing system(OTPS).
-
It is used in relational databases.
- NoSQL databases
- Distributed file system
- Data warehousing application
-
Spaces used in
- vCPU -> 2 to 96
- RAM -> 16 to 768 GB
- Instance Storage -> NVMe SSD
- Network Performance -> 25 Gbps to 100 Gbps
-
Sequential throughput
- Read -> 16 GB/s
- Write -> 64 GB/s (I3) 8 GB/s (I3en)
