Info

metrics are accessible via the AWS CloudWatch API or the AWS Management Console. For more details, see Amazon CloudWatch. Amazon S3 is storage for the Internet. It is designed to make web-scale computing easier for developers. Amazon S3 provides a simple web services interface that can be used to store and retrieve any amount of data, at any time, from anywhere on the web. It gives any user access to the same highly scalable, reliable, secure, fast, inexpensive infrastructure that Amazon uses to run its own global network of web sites. The service aims to maximize benefits of scale and to pass those benefits on to developers. Amazon S3 is intentionally built with a minimal feature set, as follows: • Write, read, and delete objects containing from 1 byte to 5 terabytes of data each. The number of objects Region 14 and NCPA members can store is unlimited. • Each object is stored in a bucket and retrieved via a unique, developer-assigned key. • A bucket can be stored in one of several Regions. Region 14 and NCPA members can choose a Region to optimize for latency, minimize costs, or address regulatory requirements. Amazon S3 is currently available in the US Standard, US West (Oregon), US West (Northern California), EU (Ireland), Asia Pacific (Singapore), Asia Pacific (Tokyo), South America (Sao Paulo), and GovCloud (US) Regions. The US Standard Region automatically routes requests to facilities in Northern Virginia or the Pacific Northwest using network maps. • Objects stored in a Region never leave the Region unless Region 14 and NCPA members transfer them out. For example, objects stored in the EU (Ireland) Region never leave the EU. • Authentication mechanisms are provided to ensure that data is kept secure from unauthorized access. Objects can be made private or public, and rights can be granted to specific users. • Options for secure data upload/download and encryption of data at rest are provided for additional data protection. • Uses standards-based REST and SOAP interfaces designed to work with any Internetdevelopment toolkit. • Built to be flexible so that protocol or functional layers can easily be added. The default download protocol is HTTP. A BitTorrent protocol interface is provided to lower costs for high-scale distribution. • Includes options for performing recurring and high volume deletions. For recurring deletions, rules can be defined to remove sets of objects after a pre-defined time period. For efficient one-time deletions, up to 1,000 objects can be deleted with a single request. • Reliability is backed with the Amazon S3 Service Level Agreement.
In Tab 8, Value Added Products and Services, we describe our 8KMiles application support service as an optional service for an additional cost. Region 14 and NCPA members will always have access to 8KMiles support services, if they choose the option. In addition to 8KMiles support service, AWS Support is a one-on-one, fast-response support channel that is staffed 24x7x365 with experienced and technical support engineers. The service helps Region 14 and NCPA members to successfully utilize the products and features provided by Amazon Web Services. AWS support is provided in four tiers: 1. Basic: Free forum-based support for anyone that subscribes to AWS services. 2. Developer: Email-based support with twelve (12)-hour response time meant for individual developers. 3. Business: Phone, chat, and email-based support with one (1)-hour response time designed to meet the needs of small and medium-size businesses and enterprises getting started with AWS. 4. Enterprise: Phone, chat, email, and a dedicated technical account manager for enterprise with fifteen (15)-minutes response time designed for AWS power users. All AWS Support tiers offer customers of AWS Infrastructure Services an unlimited number of support cases with pay-by-the-month pricing and no long-term contracts. The four tiers provide developers and businesses the flexibility to choose the support tiers that meet their specific needs at any point in time. AWS offers data transfer service for web traffic on a pay-per-use basis. Region 14 and NCPA members do not incur any set up charges for the web traffic to the public Internet. The charges only apply to outgoing traffic (Internet traffic that leaves AWS). There is no charge for incoming traffic. When Region 14 and NCPA members use a Hardware VPN Connection to their VPC via a Virtual Private Gateway, a charge applies for every “VPN Connection-hour” that the VPN connection is provisioned and available. Each partial VPN Connection-hour consumed is billed as a full hour. Region 14 and NCPA members incur standard AWS data transfer charges for all data transferred via the VPN Connection. Region 14 and NCPA members that transfer large amounts of data may prefer to use AWS Direct Connect. AWS Direct Connect reduces the network costs into and out of AWS in two ways. First, by transferring data to and from AWS directly, a member can reduce its bandwidth commitment to its Internet Service Provider. Second, all data transferred over the dedicated connection is charged at the reduced AWS Direct Connect data transfer rate rather than Internet data transfer rates.
