Systems Operations on AWS

AWS Systems Operations is the newest kid on the cloud computing block, and despite its relative youth (compared to Amazon's flagship product, AWS) this relatively new service has grown in the past year. But what is it? From business operations to development clusters, this post will show you everything that Systems Operations can do for your business.

Let's start with the basics: Systems Operations is a service designed to make cloud services more predictable. For example, Auto Scaling keeps an application's infrastructure running smoothly, and helps ensure that your application is always available. Instead of building these features using custom scripts and homegrown tools, you can take advantage of Systems Operations from AWS.

The future of software architecture includes containers. If you are not yet familiar with this new way to deploy applications, it may be time to start learning how they work. In the past, having a server meant that you had a single application running on one physical machine in your data center. To improve efficiency and scale out (as needed), developers would build new logical servers which could run different software packages for each service. They would connect to these on-premise servers through a local network, allowing communication between services. These distributed systems were very powerful but they ran into problems. kubernetes vs docker Enter containers. Containers offer the same functionality of virtual machines - isolation and independence from other applications - but on a much smaller architectural scale than traditional virtualization technologies like VMs. With containers, each service can run separately and more efficiently in a way that is suited for the applicatio...
