Amazon Web Services FAQs
Yes. Experts believe managing your business operations and storing data on the cloud adds an extra layer of security. This is because instead of storing data on physical servers and hardware in one location, often storing on the cloud means your data is split up into off-site data centers. With options for private cloud solutions, businesses can have complete control over who can access what data. AWS offers many storage and security solutions.
There are 8 major storage solutions with AWS, all of them meeting different requirements for businesses’ specific needs. These range from the most popular: Amazon Simple Storage (Amazon S3) to more dynamic options such as Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS), and Amazon Glacier.
Amazon Lambda is a service provided by AWS that users can use to develop automatic triggers for any AWS action. AWS lambda is a serverless compute platform that automates specific actions managed by users. For example, resizing photos when uploaded to storage, or moving certain data to different AWS services for further action. A noted feature of Lambda is that you only pay for the feature when it’s being used – only when the specific triggers are in action.
Amazon DynamoDB is a NoSQL database service that’s fast and scalable. DynamoDb has an industry level service agreement and can handle 1 trillion requests a day and more than 1800 AWS customers use it. DynamoDB can be used to create database tables to store and retrieve data and can handle any amount of request traffic because requests are spread out among different servers for consistently fast performance.
