Introduction: This is a guest post by  Frédéric Faure  (architect at  Ysance ), you can follow him on  twitter . How do you scale an AWS (Amazon Web Services) infrastructure? This article will give you a detailed reply in two parts: the tools you can use to make the most of Amazon’s dynamic approach, and the architectural model you should adopt for a scalable infrastructure. I base my report on my experience gained in several AWS production projects in casual gaming (Facebook), e-commerce infrastructures and within the mainstream GIS (Geographic Information System). It’s true that my experience in gaming ( IsCool, The Game ) is currently the most representative in terms of scalability, due to the number of users (over 800 thousand DAU – daily active users – at peak usage and over 20 million page views every day), however my experiences in e-commerce and GIS (currently underway) provide a different view of scalability, taking into account the various problems of availability and da


Summary: the most important sentenses genereted by tfidf model

sentIndex sentText sentNum sentScore

1 I will therefore attempt to provide a detailed overview of the factors to take into account in order to optimise the dynamic nature of an infrastructure constructed in a Cloud Computing environment, and in this case, in the AWS environment. [sent-6, score-0.4]

2 Centralised configuration management In order to instantiate multiple servers (EC2) on the fly to counter a load peak or perform occasional procedures, we have to use a centralised configuration management tool. [sent-15, score-0.515]

3 It contains the descriptors of the packages to be installed, configuration files to be pushed and services to be started up for a new EC2 instance in order to prepare it according to the type of node or nodes with which you have associated it, or simply to keep an existing instance updated. [sent-23, score-0.455]

4 It is thus very simple to mount a new instance of a given type, and to be sure that from one server to another, the configuration is identical in every way. [sent-27, score-0.317]

5 Puppet Module Descriptor The centralised configuration manager is indispensable on a scalable infrastructure, which can have a large number of instances, some of which should be mounted rapidly, in order to reply to user requests during load peak. [sent-30, score-0.285]

6 It is however possible to build an AMI or even an EBS root device with the Puppet client installed on it (and to use, if necessary, the user-data at the launch of the instance in order to set the parameters if a ‘static’ configuration on the AMI is not sufficient). [sent-39, score-0.617]

7 Note that Webistrano is an HMI enabling access to the Capistrano features and introducing the notion of project management by managing access to the tasks according to profile, to trace who deployed what on which server and to send email signals in response to certain actions. [sent-65, score-0.339]

8 This data enables corrections to service development or configuration to be carried out after the event, in order to optimise the aforementioned services, and equally to define the resources to be attributed to them in the most effective way. [sent-77, score-0.48]

9 Thread Scoreboard Apache - Yearly - 1 Day Average It should be noted that these tools operate mostly (Centreon, Cacti and Munin) on RRDtool (Round-Robin Database), a database management tool which also enables a graphic representation of the data contained in the base. [sent-85, score-0.331]

10 Give priority therefore to monitoring tools with modular configuration or simple access via APIs. [sent-92, score-0.425]

11 Managing centralised logs It’s undeniable: the more instances you have, the more scattered logs there’ll be on the various instances. [sent-93, score-0.443]

12 Moreover, sending all the logs to the syslog daemon becomes difficult, as the infrastructure components do not necessarily manage it very well (redirection, respecting the syslog protocol, etc. [sent-94, score-0.403]

13 The component can also act as a relay on more complex infrastructures by receiving the network logs from diverse clients and sending them back to the network for a server. [sent-101, score-0.385]

14 It’s a simple and non-intrusive tool able to take into account the logs of scattered applications on a server (even if these logs do not respect the syslog protocol format – there is however an advantage to respecting this protocol: greater accuracy of the facilities and priorities). [sent-104, score-0.579]

15 What stands out are the following: Tools such as centralised configuration managers, tools for the execution in parallel of automated tasks and also log managers, will become even more important. [sent-107, score-0.334]

16 My aim is to help you set up and optimise your infrastructure by understanding how Amazon tools operate and to get the most benefit from them. [sent-116, score-0.288]

17 Furthermore, no reconstruction of onerous index management is required (possible however on the Tokyo Team’s API ‘Table’) … It goes without saying that what’s really time-consuming about data access via the network (between the web or application server and Tokyo Tyrant) is… the network! [sent-152, score-0.436]

18 So in all cases, at the client (API) level you should use ‘mget’ (multi get), for example, by positioning a array of keys that you wish to recover in the parameters rather than performing a ‘get’ N times from the client, therefore creating N network accesses. [sent-153, score-0.311]

19 Or, to see some slightly more complex tests, Google “performance ephemeral disk ebs volume raid” . [sent-185, score-0.459]

20 I have not found any integrated tools satisfactory for this task: I simply use a command line tool “ s3cmd ” in order to store my backups. [sent-201, score-0.345]

2 0.39007011 853 high scalability-2010-07-08-Cloud AWS Infrastructure vs. Physical Infrastructure

Introduction: This is a guest post by Frédéric Faure (architect at Ysance ) on the differences between using a cloud infrastructure and building your own. Frédéric was kind enough to translate the original French version of this article into English. I’ve been noticing many questions about the differences inherent in choosing between a Cloud infrastructure such as AWS (Amazon Web Services) and a traditional physical infrastructure. Firstly, there are a certain number of preconceived notions on this subject that I will attempt to decode for you. Then, it must be understood that each infrastructure has its advantages and disadvantages: a Cloud-type infrastructure does not necessarily fulfill your requirements in every case, however, it can satisfy some of them by optimizing or facilitating the features offered by a traditional physical infrastructure. I will therefore demonstrate the differences between the two that I have noticed, in order to help you make up your own mind. The Fram

Introduction: In a recent thread on Hacker News discussing  recent AWS price changes , seldo  mentioned they use AWS for business, they just never use EBS on AWS. A good question was asked: How do you even do anything without using EBS? Amazon certainly makes using EBS the easiest path. And EBS has a better reliability record as of late, but it's still often recommended to not use EBS. This avoids a single point of failure at the cost of a lot of complexity, though as AWS uses EBS internally, not using EBS may not save you if you use other AWS services like RDS or ELB. If you don't want to use EBS, it's hard to know where to even start. A dilemma to which Kevin Nuckolls  gives a great answer : Well, you break your services out onto stateless and stateful machines. After that, you make sure that each of your stateful services is resilient to individual node failure. I prefer to believe that if you can't roll your entire infrastructure over to new nodes monthly then you're unprepared fo

Introduction: This is a guest post by  Frédéric Faure  (architect at  Ysance ), you can follow him on  twitter . Data storage has always been one of the most difficult problems to address, especially as the quantity of stored data is constantly increasing. This is not simply due to the growing numbers of people regularly using the Internet, particularly with all the social networks, games and gizmos now available. Companies are also amassing more and more meticulous information relevant to their business, in order to optimize productivity and ROI (Return On Investment). I find the positioning of SQL and NoSQL (Not Only SQL) as opposites rather a shame: it’s true that the marketing wave of NoSQL has enabled the renewed promotion of a system that’s been around for quite a while, but which was only rarely considered in most cases, as after all, everything could be fitted into the « good old SQL model ». The reverse trend of wanting to make everything fit the NoSQL model is not very p

Introduction: Rodrigo Campos shared some interesting benchmark results for AWS instances in the South America Region (SĂŁo Paulo) and US East Region (North Virginia). He summarized the results in this thread on the Guerrilla Capacity Planning list: The same instance type shows a different behavior depending on the region that it is running, this is particularly critical if you depend on multiple regions for disaster recovery or geographical load balancing Generally speaking performance is better and more consistent in the South America region when compared to Virginia, this is probably due to the fact that SA region was the latest to be deployed. Maybe the SA datacenter uses new server models or it is just underutilized, but this is a wild guess Write performance for the medium instance type in Virginia abruptly decays, dropping from almost 400 call/s to something around 300 calls/s, this is not very clear in the scatter plot but if you draw a time-based chart you can clearly see this pa

Introduction: This is a guest post by Andy Gelfond , VP of Engineering for TripAdvisor. Andy has been with TripAdvisor for six and a half years, wrote a lot of code in the earlier days, and has been building and running a first class engineering and operations team that is responsible for the worlds largest travel site. There's an update for this article at An Epic TripAdvisor Update: Why Not Run On The Cloud? The Grand Experiment .  For  TripAdvisor , scalability is woven into our organization on many levels - data center, software architecture, development/deployment/operations, and, most importantly, within the culture and organization. It is not enough to have a scalable data center, or a scalable software architecture. The process of designing, coding, testing, and deploying code also needs to be scalable. All of this starts with hiring and a culture and an organization that values and supports a distributed, fast, and effective development and operation of a complex and highly scalable co

Introduction: The  Relational Cloud Project  is an effort by a group of researchers at MIT to  investigate technologies and challenges related to Database-as-a-Service within cloud-computing . They are trying to figure out how the advantages of the DaaS (Database-as-a-Service) model, that we've seen arise in other areas like OLAP and NoSQL, can be applied to relational databases. The DaaS advantages as they see them are: 1) predictable costs, proportional to the quality of service and actual workloads, 2) lower technical complexity, thanks to a unified and simplified service access interface, and 3) virtually infinite resources ready at hand. An interesting description of their approach is explained in the paper  Relational Cloud: A Database-as-a-Service for the Cloud . From the abstract: This paper introduces a new transactional “database-as-a-service” (DBaaS) called Relational Cloud. A DBaaS promises to move much of the operational burden of provisioning, configuration, scaling, performance tun
