How did amazon.com…


…get into cloud computing?


OVER 12 YEARS IN THE MAKING

INTERNAL NEED FOR SCALABLE DEPLOYMENT ENVIRONMENT

ENABLEMENT OF SELLERS ON AMAZON

EARLY FORAYS PROVED DEVELOPERS WERE HUNGRY FOR MORE

NOT A MODEL TO UTILIZE EXCESS RETAIL CAPACITY


AWS mission

Enable businesses and developers to use web services* to build

scalable, sophisticated applications.

*what people now call “the cloud”


Global footprint

• Over 1 million active customers across 190 countries

• 900+ government agencies

• 3,400+ educational institutions

• 11 regions

• 29 Availability Zones (= 1-6 data centers)

• 53 edge locations

Region

Edge Location

Every day, AWS adds enough new server capacity to support Amazon.com when it was a $7 billion global enterprise.

Example AWS region

AZ AZ AZ

Transit

Transit• 1 of 11 AWS world-wide AWS regions• Redundant paths to transit centers• Transit centers connect to:

– Private links to other AWS regions

– Private links to AWS Direct Connect customers

– Internet through peering and paid transit

• Metro-area DWDM links between AZs• 82,864 fiber strands in region• AZs < 2 milliseconds apart and usually < 1

millisecond• 25 Tbps peak inter-AZs traffic


Why Availability Zones?

• Challenges with traditional asynchronous replication between distant data centers

• Committing to an SSD order 1 to 2 milliseconds• But L.A. to New York is 74 milliseconds round-trip• You can’t wait 74 milliseconds to commit a transaction

• Traditional failure, difficult decision:• Fail over and lose transactions?• Don’t fail over and lose availability?• Difficult choice

• AZs for no-admin failover• Sync works when < 2 milliseconds• Combine with regional replication for very high

availability (VHA)

74 milliseconds

Data Center

Data Center

Data Center

Data Center

• 1 of 28 AZs worldwide• Each AZ is 1 or more data center

– No data center is in two AZs– Some AZs have as many as 6 data centers

• All regions have 2 or more EC2 AZs • DCs in AZ less than ¼ milliseconds apart

– Don’t need inter-AZ independence– Do require low latency and full B/W


Example AWS data center

• Single data center typically more than 50,000 servers and often more than 80,000

– Larger data centers undesirable (blast radius)

• Up to 102 Tbps provisioned to a single data center

• AWS custom network equipment:– Multi-ODM sourced– Amazon custom network protocol stack

“AWS is the overwhelming market share leader, with more than five times the compute capacity in use than the aggregate total of the other fourteen providers.”

Gartner Magic Quadrant past 4 years
