Software as a Service provides you with a completed product that is run and managed by the
service provider. In most cases, people referring to Software as a Service are referring to end-user
applications. With a SaaS offering you do not have to think about how the service is maintained or
how the underlying infrastructure is managed; you only need to think about how you will use that
particular piece software. A common example of a SaaS application is web-based email where you
can send and receive email without having to manage feature additions to the email product or
maintaining the servers and operating systems that the email program is running on.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides a low cost, reliable and secure foundation for you to
use as you build and deliver Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions to customers. The AWS Partner
Network (APN) helps companies build a successful AWS-based business by providing valuable
business, technical, marketing, and go-to-market (GTM) support.
Platforms as a service remove the need for organizations to manage the underlying
infrastructure (usually hardware and operating systems) and allow you to focus on the deployment
and management of your applications. This helps you be more efficient as you don’t need to worry
about resource procurement, capacity planning, software maintenance, patching, or any of the other
undifferentiated heavy lifting involved in running your application.
AWS Pricing
How does AWS pricing work?
AWS offers you a pay-as-you-go approach for pricing for over 160 cloud services. With AWS you
pay only for the individual services you need, for as long as you use them, and without requiring
long-term contracts or complex licensing. AWS pricing is similar to how you pay for utilities like
water and electricity. You only pay for the services you consume, and once you stop using them,
there are no additional costs or termination fees.
Pay-as-you-go
With AWS you only pay for what use, helping your organization remain agile, responsive and
always able to meet scale demands.
Pay-as-you-go pricing allows you to easily adapt to changing business needs without
overcommitting budgets and improving your responsiveness to changes. With a pay as you go
model, you can adapt your business depending on need and not on forecasts, reducing the risk or
overprovisioning or missing capacity.
By paying for services on an as needed basis, you can redirect your focus to innovation and
invention, reducing procurement complexity and enabling your business to be fully elastic.
Amazon EC2 reduces the time required to obtain and boot new server instances to minutes,
allowing you to quickly scale capacity, both up and down, as your computing requirements
change. Amazon EC2 changes the economics of computing by allowing you to pay only for
capacity that you actually use. Amazon EC2 provides developers the tools to build failure
resilient applications and isolate them from common failure scenarios.
EC2 uptime
Hourly Uptime Percentage” is calculated by subtracting from 100% the percentage of
deployed minutes during any clock hour in which a Single EC2 Instance was in a state of
Unavailability. Hourly Uptime Percentage measurements exclude Unavailability resulting
directly or indirectly from any Amazon Compute SLA Exclusion
• “Monthly Uptime Percentage” is calculated by subtracting from 100% the percentage of minutes
during the month in which any of the Included Services, as applicable, was in the state of
Unavailability. Monthly Uptime Percentage measurements exclude Unavailability resulting directly
or indirectly from any Amazon Compute SLA Exclusion.
Downtime in EC2
EC2 provides users with control over the geographical location of instances that allows for latency
optimization and high levels of redundancy. For example, to minimize downtime, a user can set up
server instances in multiple zones that are insulated from each other for most causes of failure such
that one backs up the other.
Conclusion :
Effectively planned and managed, reservations can help you achieve significant discounts for AWS
workloads that run on a predictable schedule. It’s important to analyze your current AWS usage to
select the right reservation attributes from the start and to devise a longer-term strategy for
monitoring and managing your Reserved Instances. Using tools such as the AWS Cost and Usage
report, and the Reserved Instance Utilization and Coverage reports in AWS Cost Explorer, you can
examine your overall usage and discover opportunities for greater cost efficiencies.
