Saas - AWS: Compute
- Amazon’s compute web services provide users with
raw computation power to meet application needs
and scale accordingly. AWS have two core web
services for computation.
- Amazon Elastic Cloud Compute (Amazon EC 2)
- Amazon EC2 web service allows for resizable compute capacity in the
cloud. With Amazon EC2, developers are able to easily scale their
computation needs up or down to meet demand.
- Amazon Elastic Map Reduce
Amazon Elastic Map Reduce (EMR) provides developers and researchers
with compute power for processing data intensive tasks. It is based on
Apache’s Hadoop framework. As with EC2, users can easily provision how
much compute resources they need to process data intensive tasks such as
web mining, data warehousing, log file analysis, scientific calculations and so
on. It allows users focus on the task at hand rather than worry about setting
up computational frameworks to handle these tasks.
