1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,790 ‫We have seen a lot of different AWS services 2 00:00:02,790 --> 00:00:04,950 ‫in this course, but now it's time to talk 3 00:00:04,950 --> 00:00:07,920 ‫about the ecosystem around AWS. 4 00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:10,170 ‫So, there are a lot of free resources. 5 00:00:10,170 --> 00:00:12,780 ‫For example, there is the AWS blog, 6 00:00:12,780 --> 00:00:14,760 ‫there are the forums, which is community based, 7 00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:16,920 ‫so people will help each other. 8 00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:18,720 ‫You have the whitepapers and guides, 9 00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,030 ‫for example, the Well-Architected Framework 10 00:00:21,030 --> 00:00:22,440 ‫is one of the whitepaper. 11 00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:24,960 ‫They're usually very long guides that AWS did approve, 12 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,120 ‫or did write, and they help you understand 13 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:28,590 ‫how to do something correctly, 14 00:00:28,590 --> 00:00:31,140 ‫for example, around security, or around architecture, 15 00:00:31,140 --> 00:00:33,030 ‫or around networking, and so on. 16 00:00:33,030 --> 00:00:35,250 ‫And then you have the AWS Partner Solutions 17 00:00:35,250 --> 00:00:37,530 ‫also called formerly Quick Starts. 18 00:00:37,530 --> 00:00:38,670 ‫And the idea is that with this 19 00:00:38,670 --> 00:00:40,920 ‫you get automated, gold-standard deployments 20 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:42,600 ‫in the AWS Cloud. 21 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:43,800 ‫And the idea is that you can build 22 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,950 ‫a production environment very quickly with templates. 23 00:00:46,950 --> 00:00:48,600 ‫So, this is an example of a template. 24 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,030 ‫For example, how to deploy WordPress on AWS, 25 00:00:51,030 --> 00:00:52,560 ‫we'll click on it in a second. 26 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:54,270 ‫And the idea is that, once you click on it, 27 00:00:54,270 --> 00:00:56,850 ‫you have a CloudFormation template ready to go 28 00:00:56,850 --> 00:00:58,740 ‫that you can input some parameters in, 29 00:00:58,740 --> 00:01:01,293 ‫and deploy the partner solution on AWS. 30 00:01:02,250 --> 00:01:04,200 ‫So, for example, this one by WordPress, 31 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,740 ‫the WordPress High Availability by Bitnami on AWS 32 00:01:07,740 --> 00:01:10,500 ‫allows you to use WordPress. 33 00:01:10,500 --> 00:01:13,710 ‫And so, if we will look at the actual infrastructure, 34 00:01:13,710 --> 00:01:15,000 ‫we can look at what you'll build. 35 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,700 ‫So, there will be a highly-available infrastructure, 36 00:01:17,700 --> 00:01:20,100 ‫there will be Amazon Aurora, there will be Elasticache, 37 00:01:20,100 --> 00:01:23,190 ‫there'll be Amazon EFS, some EC2 instances, 38 00:01:23,190 --> 00:01:24,390 ‫some load balancing, and so on. 39 00:01:24,390 --> 00:01:27,060 ‫So, quite a lot of things that come into play. 40 00:01:27,060 --> 00:01:29,670 ‫And this is all part of the solution. 41 00:01:29,670 --> 00:01:31,710 ‫So, we can have a look at how to deploy, 42 00:01:31,710 --> 00:01:33,090 ‫and we have two options. 43 00:01:33,090 --> 00:01:35,880 ‫We can either deploy into a new VPC, 44 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,520 ‫or deploy into an existing VPC. 45 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,550 ‫So, for example, let's deploy this into an existing VPC 46 00:01:41,550 --> 00:01:44,430 ‫to remove all the VPC-related infrastructure. 47 00:01:44,430 --> 00:01:45,900 ‫So, the template is ready, 48 00:01:45,900 --> 00:01:48,600 ‫the template URL is referenced right here. 49 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:49,680 ‫And instead of deploying it, 50 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,800 ‫we can just view it in CloudFormation Designer, 51 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,620 ‫and have a look at what is going to be deployed. 52 00:01:55,620 --> 00:01:57,480 ‫So, if we have a look at it, very simple, 53 00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:02,250 ‫we here have the WebserverStack, the RDSAuroraStack, 54 00:02:02,250 --> 00:02:05,070 ‫the SecurityGroupStack, and the ElastiCacheStack. 55 00:02:05,070 --> 00:02:06,870 ‫So, this is what's going to be deployed, 56 00:02:06,870 --> 00:02:09,000 ‫and each of them is a CloudFormation stack 57 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,893 ‫with more resources within. 58 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,720 ‫Then you have AWS Solutions, which is a way for you 59 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,050 ‫to deploy vetted technology solutions in the cloud. 60 00:02:19,050 --> 00:02:21,810 ‫And so, one of them was called AWS Landing Zone, 61 00:02:21,810 --> 00:02:23,760 ‫which was a way for you to deploy a secure, 62 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,490 ‫multi-account environment in AWS. 63 00:02:26,490 --> 00:02:27,480 ‫And this was the link. 64 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,189 ‫But now, if you remember this from this course, 65 00:02:29,189 --> 00:02:32,310 ‫this has been replaced by this new service 66 00:02:32,310 --> 00:02:34,440 ‫named AWS Control Tower. 67 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,660 ‫But there are, obviously, a lot of different solutions 68 00:02:36,660 --> 00:02:38,790 ‫available out there on the solutions link 69 00:02:38,790 --> 00:02:40,410 ‫that you can see in the slide. 70 00:02:40,410 --> 00:02:42,810 ‫So, all of these free resources are available 71 00:02:42,810 --> 00:02:46,650 ‫to you at no cost, but then there is support by AWS. 72 00:02:46,650 --> 00:02:48,660 ‫So, we've seen different level of supports. 73 00:02:48,660 --> 00:02:52,020 ‫So, on Developer, we get business hour email access 74 00:02:52,020 --> 00:02:53,700 ‫to cloud Support Associates. 75 00:02:53,700 --> 00:02:55,830 ‫We get general guidance of less than 24 hours, 76 00:02:55,830 --> 00:02:58,470 ‫and system impaired of less than 12 hours. 77 00:02:58,470 --> 00:03:00,900 ‫If we are in Business subscription, 78 00:03:00,900 --> 00:03:03,960 ‫then we're going to get 24/7 phone supports, 79 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,750 ‫email and chat access to Cloud Support Engineers. 80 00:03:06,750 --> 00:03:08,190 ‫So, one level up. 81 00:03:08,190 --> 00:03:10,507 ‫In case your production system is down, you get, 82 00:03:10,507 --> 00:03:13,440 ‫sorry for impaired, you get less than four hours, 83 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:14,640 ‫and for production system down, 84 00:03:14,640 --> 00:03:17,310 ‫you get less than one hour of reply time. 85 00:03:17,310 --> 00:03:19,980 ‫And for Enterprise, which is the most expensive tier, 86 00:03:19,980 --> 00:03:22,980 ‫you get access to a dedicated technical account manager, 87 00:03:22,980 --> 00:03:25,710 ‫or TAM, you get Concierge Support Team to help you 88 00:03:25,710 --> 00:03:27,930 ‫with billing and account best practices. 89 00:03:27,930 --> 00:03:30,360 ‫And in case your business system is down, 90 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,820 ‫then it's going to be less than 15 minutes 91 00:03:32,820 --> 00:03:36,180 ‫before you get a reply from the support of AWS, 92 00:03:36,180 --> 00:03:37,013 ‫which is very handy. 93 00:03:37,013 --> 00:03:39,480 ‫So, again, remember the different levels of support 94 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:41,460 ‫as part of the ecosystem. 95 00:03:41,460 --> 00:03:43,230 ‫Okay, next we have the Marketplace. 96 00:03:43,230 --> 00:03:46,530 ‫So, I just talked about it briefly in the EC2 section, 97 00:03:46,530 --> 00:03:48,390 ‫but it is going to be a digital catalog 98 00:03:48,390 --> 00:03:50,010 ‫with thousands of software listing 99 00:03:50,010 --> 00:03:53,160 ‫from independent software vendors, which are third party. 100 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,400 ‫For example, on the Marketplace you can buy a custom AMI 101 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,130 ‫for someone that was customized with some OS, 102 00:03:59,130 --> 00:04:01,860 ‫some firewalls, or some technical solutions. 103 00:04:01,860 --> 00:04:03,600 ‫You can also buy CloudFormation templates 104 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,430 ‫that are going to be production-ready. 105 00:04:05,430 --> 00:04:07,470 ‫You could buy Software As A Service 106 00:04:07,470 --> 00:04:09,330 ‫directly from the Marketplace. 107 00:04:09,330 --> 00:04:10,830 ‫You can buy containers. 108 00:04:10,830 --> 00:04:13,020 ‫And if you buy through the Marketplace, 109 00:04:13,020 --> 00:04:16,650 ‫the advantage that it goes directly into your bill of AWS. 110 00:04:16,650 --> 00:04:19,350 ‫So, you don't need to source a new vendor. 111 00:04:19,350 --> 00:04:22,350 ‫Then you can sell your own solutions on the Marketplace, 112 00:04:22,350 --> 00:04:24,990 ‫if you want to become a Marketplace seller. 113 00:04:24,990 --> 00:04:27,330 ‫So, as we can see, a Marketplace can be very easy, 114 00:04:27,330 --> 00:04:29,400 ‫and we've seen it in the beginning of the course 115 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,380 ‫regarding the AMIs. 116 00:04:31,380 --> 00:04:33,840 ‫Next, we have training from AWS. 117 00:04:33,840 --> 00:04:36,810 ‫So, we have two sources of training given directly by AWS 118 00:04:36,810 --> 00:04:38,790 ‫that can be Digital, so online, 119 00:04:38,790 --> 00:04:42,360 ‫or Classroom training with in-person, or virtual. 120 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,820 ‫There is also Private Training, if you want to organize 121 00:04:44,820 --> 00:04:46,890 ‫a training session for your organization. 122 00:04:46,890 --> 00:04:48,900 ‫And then there is dedicated training 123 00:04:48,900 --> 00:04:52,020 ‫and certification program for the US Government, 124 00:04:52,020 --> 00:04:55,110 ‫and a training and certification program for the Enterprise. 125 00:04:55,110 --> 00:04:57,420 ‫So, that's for the training that AWS can give you. 126 00:04:57,420 --> 00:05:01,800 ‫Then we have AWS Academy to help universities teach AWS, 127 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,230 ‫so that people, when they get their university degree, 128 00:05:04,230 --> 00:05:05,820 ‫they also know how to use the cloud. 129 00:05:05,820 --> 00:05:09,270 ‫And then, obviously, not sponsored training by AWS, 130 00:05:09,270 --> 00:05:11,610 ‫but you get your, obviously, favorite teacher online, 131 00:05:11,610 --> 00:05:13,950 ‫that is me, teaching you about certifications 132 00:05:13,950 --> 00:05:15,840 ‫and more on AWS. 133 00:05:15,840 --> 00:05:18,030 ‫Okay. So, this is for the options of training 134 00:05:18,030 --> 00:05:19,140 ‫that you can get. 135 00:05:19,140 --> 00:05:21,240 ‫Then you're going to get Professional Services, 136 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:22,620 ‫and the Partner Network. 137 00:05:22,620 --> 00:05:23,910 ‫So, there is a team called 138 00:05:23,910 --> 00:05:26,430 ‫the AWS Professional Services Organization. 139 00:05:26,430 --> 00:05:29,850 ‫It's a global team of expert that can help you with AWS. 140 00:05:29,850 --> 00:05:31,320 ‫They will work alongside your team, 141 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:36,150 ‫so your people handling AWS, and a chosen member of the APN. 142 00:05:36,150 --> 00:05:39,720 ‫APN stands for AWS Partner Network. 143 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,470 ‫It's a network of people that AWS knows are good 144 00:05:43,470 --> 00:05:44,730 ‫with the cloud. 145 00:05:44,730 --> 00:05:46,500 ‫So, we have the Technology Partners, 146 00:05:46,500 --> 00:05:48,270 ‫so the APN Technology Partners, 147 00:05:48,270 --> 00:05:52,200 ‫they will be providing hardware, connectivity, and software. 148 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:53,790 ‫So, they will be more helping you 149 00:05:53,790 --> 00:05:56,100 ‫on the infrastructure side, 150 00:05:56,100 --> 00:05:59,160 ‫whereas the Consulting Partners on APN 151 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,020 ‫are going to be professional services firm 152 00:06:01,020 --> 00:06:03,693 ‫that will help you build on AWS. 153 00:06:04,530 --> 00:06:07,170 ‫Next, we have the APN Training Partners 154 00:06:07,170 --> 00:06:09,930 ‫who can help you learn AWS, they will be training partners 155 00:06:09,930 --> 00:06:12,510 ‫that will be able to deliver the AWS training 156 00:06:12,510 --> 00:06:14,760 ‫that I've told you just from the slide before. 157 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:16,770 ‫And then we have the Competency Program, 158 00:06:16,770 --> 00:06:18,750 ‫which are given to the APN partners 159 00:06:18,750 --> 00:06:20,790 ‫who have demonstrated technical proficiency, 160 00:06:20,790 --> 00:06:25,410 ‫and proven customer success in specialized solution areas. 161 00:06:25,410 --> 00:06:28,590 ‫And then, finally, one last thing, the Navigate Program 162 00:06:28,590 --> 00:06:31,080 ‫to help partners become better partners, 163 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:32,550 ‫to train the partners. 164 00:06:32,550 --> 00:06:36,750 ‫So, I know this is a very long lecture on the AWS ecosystem, 165 00:06:36,750 --> 00:06:39,780 ‫but at the exam you'll get one, maybe, or two questions 166 00:06:39,780 --> 00:06:43,080 ‫on finding the right service, or the right tool, 167 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:44,910 ‫for the ecosystem. 168 00:06:44,910 --> 00:06:46,620 ‫And so, for you, it's really, really important 169 00:06:46,620 --> 00:06:48,510 ‫to remember all the things that I just said. 170 00:06:48,510 --> 00:06:49,770 ‫Thankfully, it makes sense. 171 00:06:49,770 --> 00:06:52,440 ‫The names are most likely going to be obvious, 172 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:54,570 ‫once you know, and once you've seen them once. 173 00:06:54,570 --> 00:06:56,760 ‫So, I would recommend just trying to memorize those. 174 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,100 ‫We're going to help you with a quiz in these sections. 175 00:06:59,100 --> 00:07:00,840 ‫But again, feel free to revisit this lecture 176 00:07:00,840 --> 00:07:04,020 ‫before your exam to give yourself a small refresher. 177 00:07:04,020 --> 00:07:04,853 ‫So, that's it. 178 00:07:04,853 --> 00:07:07,590 ‫I hope you liked it, and I will see you in the next lecture.
