Hello Everyone !!

Today’s my Article about ✨AWS (Amazon Web Services)✨ and it’s ✨CASE study✨

— — — — — — — — — — — — — — -

What is AWS

AWS 🌟Amazon Web Services🌟 is a subsidiary of Amazon providing on-demand cloud computing platforms and APIs to individuals, companies, and governments, on a metered pay-as-you-go basis.

👉Services provided by AWS :

Each type of service in this, the few domains which are widely used are:

•Compute

•Storage

•Database

•Migration

•Network and Content Delivery

•Management Tools

•Security & Identity Compliance

•Messaging

👉ADVANTAGES of AWS :

•You get all 160 cloud services on a pay-as-you-go basis. This means that you pay only for the services you use. And it works on a relative scale. That means the less you use it, the less you pay. And the more you use it, the less you pay per unit.

•The applications are reliable because they run on a safe and reliable infrastructure.

•Their on-demand infrastructure allows greater scalability.

⭐ AWS CASE STUDY ⭐

👉 About Netflix ✨

Netflix is the world’s leading internet television network, with more than 100 million members in more than 190 countries enjoying 125 million hours of TV shows and movies each day.

Netflix uses AWS for nearly all its computing and storage needs, including databases, analytics, recommendation engines, video transcoding, and more—hundreds of functions that in total use more than 100,000 server instances on AWS.

👉Netflix Uses Close to 1,000 Amazon Kinesis Shards in Parallel to Process Billions of Traffic Flows :

Netflix’s Amazon Kinesis Streams-based solution has proven to be highly scalable, each day processing billions of traffic flows. Typically, about 1,000 Amazon Kinesis shards work in parallel to process the data stream. Amazon Kinesis Streams processes multiple terabytes of log data each day, yet events show up in our analytics in seconds.

👉Let’s see “How Netflix Uses AWS Lambda to Build Rule-Based, Self-Managing Infrastructure to Increase Efficiency ”

The company uses AWS Lambda to build rule-based, self-managing infrastructure and replace inefficient processes to reduce the rate of errors and save valuable time.

👉 Watch Neil Hunt, Netflix’s chief product officer, explain how the company can use event-based triggers to help automate the encoding process of media files, the validation of backup completions and instance deployments at scale, and the monitoring of AWS resources used by the organization.👇

👉 How Netflix Encodes at Scale :

•Netflix explores the various strategies employed by the encoding service to automate management of a heterogeneous collection of Amazon EC2 Reserved Instances, resolve compute contention, and distribute instances based on priority and workload.

•The Netflix encoding team is responsible for transcoding different types of media sources to a large number of media formats to support all Netflix devices. Transcoding these media sources has compute needs ranging from running compute-intensive video encodes to low-latency, high-volume image and text processing. The encoding service may require hundreds of thousands of compute hours to be distributed at moment’s notice where they are needed most.

👉 How Netflix Tunes Amazon EC2 instances for Performance :

Netflix uses Amazon EC2 instance types and features to create a high- performance cloud, achieving near-bare-metal speed for its workloads.

👆This session summarizes the configuration, tuning, and activities for delivering the fastest possible Amazon EC2 instances.

Brendan Gregg, a member of the performance and OS engineering team at Netflix, shows how to choose Amazon EC2 instance types, how to choose between Xen modes (HVM, PV, or PVHVM), and the importance of Amazon EC2 features such SR-IOV for bare-metal performance. He also covers basic and advanced kernel tuning and monitoring, including the use of Java and Node.js flame graphs and performance counters.
