Amazon Web Services: Migrating your .NET Enterprise Application

Overview of this book

Amazon Web Services is an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) platform in the Cloud, which businesses can take advantage of as their needs demand. The Amazon Cloud provides the enterprise with the flexibility to choose whichever solution is required to solve specific problems, ultimately reducing costs by only paying for what you use. While enterprises understand moving their applications among infrastructure they own and manage, the differences in Amazon's infrastructure bring up specific business, legal, technical, and regulatory issues to get to grips with. This step-by-step guide to moving your Enterprise .NET application to Amazon covers not only the concept, technical design, and strategy, but also enlightens readers about the business strategy and in-depth implementation details involved in moving an application to Amazon. You'll discover how to map your requirements against the Amazon Cloud, as well as secure and enhance your application with AWS. This book helps readers achieve their goal of migrating a .NET Enterprise Application to the AWS cloud. It guides you through the process one step at a time with a sample enterprise application migration. After comparing the existing application with the newly migrated version, it then moves on to explain how to make the hosted application better. It covers how to leverage some of the scalability and redundancy built into the Cloud, and along the way you'll learn about all of the major AWS products like EC2, S3, and EBS.

Setting up storage for our sample application


Now that we have covered S3 and EBS in detail, it's time to use these services to create storage for our sample application. In our sample application, we have two web servers, two application servers, two database servers, and one domain controller.

Volumes

 

Web Servers

Data – 10Gb

For our web servers, we will be creating a small EBS volume of 10Gb in size for each web server. We will use this volume to store the actual website data, which will be linked to IIS via a virtual directory.

Application Servers

Data – 10Gb

For our application servers, we will be creating a small EBS volume of 10Gb in size.

Database Servers

Data – 200Gb

Log – 200Gb

Backup – 200Gb

For our database servers, we will be creating three volumes for each server.

Domain Controller

Data – 10Gb

For our domain controller server, we will be creating a small EBS volume of 10Gb in size.

Backup storage on S3

Along with the previous EBS storage, we will be creating...
