      What is AWS? | AWS Training | Edureka

      To learn more about the products of AWS, you can refer to our Amazon AWS Tutorial, which contains detailed information about all of these services.

      You have a fair idea now about what is AWS, and the services which are covered in AWS, let’s go ahead and straightaway apply this knowledge to build applications. You might feel that you don’t know much about AWS, but then,

      Sometimes you have to run before you can walk! 

      Keeping that in mind, let’s understand how does one build applications in AWS:

      Building Applications

      First and foremost, you should analyze, what is your application about? Is it something that requires you to be worried about the underlying infrastructure? Is it something that requires a database? Is it something which will require monitoring?

      So, once you know all the requirements about your application, you can pick the domain, and hence choose a service.

      Like for example, you want to deploy an application in AWS, which does not require you to worry about the underlying architecture, which service will you choose?

      Well, in the compute section there is this service called Elastic Beanstalk. You just upload your application, and AWS does the rest for you. It’s that simple!

      Of course you wouldn’t know about any of these services without using them right? That’s why AWS came up with an amazing free tier option.

      Who is eligible for a free tier?

      Every customer from the time he registers on AWS, receives the free tier option, and is eligible for the same till 1 year from the time he registers.

      How shall this help?

      You can try every application in AWS and learn! The more you practice, the more you learn, what is AWS.

      So basically, you learn for free!

      Now, since you have an AWS account at your disposal, why not do some hands-on? What say?

      Let’s host a PHP website on EC2 and back it up with an RDS MySQL database. Not familiar with the services? Let me brief you up:

      EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) is a compute service offered by AWS which provides resizable compute capacity in the cloud.

      So in simple words you get a server with custom compute capacity, this capacity can be adjusted according to your needs. Cool, right? Want to know more,.

      Let’s discuss RDS now, so RDS is Relational Database Service, which includes different databases like MySQL, MongoDB etc.

      So basically, RDS manages these databases for you, How? Check out this blog on AWS RDS.

      Demo

      We will be creating a small application on EC2-RDS infrastructure in this What is AWS blog. By the end, you will have a PHP application on EC2, backed by a fully managed MySQL server.

      Let’s start by deploying an EC2 instance first in this What is AWS blog.

      Edit-Rule - What is AWS - Edureka​

      That’s it! Your RDS instance is ready to receive commands from your EC2 instance.

      What next? You would need a MySQL Workbench or a server to connect to your RDS instance. I installed MySQL on the EC2 instance itself, you can do that on your localhost too.

      Note: If you are doing it on your localhost, be sure to add your IP address in the Security Group of your RDS instance, like we did in the above step in this What is AWS blog.

      Let’s connect to the RDS Instance Now!

      Step 1: Open the command prompt and navigate to the bin folder of your MySQL.

      Cmd-Mysql - What is AWS - Edureka​

      Step 2: Next up, copy the endpoint from your RDS instance dashboard, you will be needing this in the next step in this What is AWS blog demo to connect to your RDS instance. The endpoint is how your RDS instance gets identified. Following the endpoint is the port number ‘3306’ which you shall also need in the next step.

      Endpoint - What is AWS - Edureka​

      Step 3: Come back to the command prompt and type the following command, you will prompted for the password, enter the password that you entered while you created your RDS instance and you are set!

      1 mysql -h xx.rds.amazonaws.com -P <port number> -u <username> -p
