About Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Amazon Web Services is a collection of web services that collectively make up a cloud computing platform.
Compared to buying and building a physical server farm, the three key benefits of Amazon’s cloud platform are:
•
Ease of use – a platform that can be constructed in hours, unlike a physical server which may take days
•
Flexibility – capacity can be grown or shrunk on demand
•
Cost matching – the cost of a platform can be easily matched to the benefits gained
Under the AWS banner, Amazon offers a number of services, including:
•
DynamoDB – NoSQL database
•
EC2 – cloud-based servers running software
•
RDS – relational database service
•
Redshift – data warehouse as a service
•
S3 – scalable cloud storage
•
EMR – elastic map reduce(Hadoop as Service)
About Amazon Redshift
From the Amazon website: “
Amazon Redshift is a fast, fully managed, petabyte-scale data warehouse service that
makes it simple and cost-effective to efficiently analyze all your data using your existing business intelligence tools.
It is optimized for datasets ranging from a few hundred gigabytes to a petabyte or more and costs less than $1,000
per terabyte per year, a tenth the cost of most traditional data warehousing solutions.

Here are some of the benefits of using Redshift as opposed to physical hardware:
•
Data Warehouse as a Service (DaaS) - no physical hardware needed and a pay-as-you-go model
•
Fast, effective and low-cost data warehouse – columnar database built for analytical workloads
•
Easy to use – one click deployment, easy to back up, easy to manage
•
Scalability – allows resizing and clustering
•
Fully managed – hardware and software upgrades are all managed by AWS
