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.

SNS alerts can be linked to CloudWatch performance alerts, although at this point this functionality is not supported within the AWS console.

Publish and subscribe

SNS is a publish and subscribe messaging system. Systems or people subscribe to topics, in which messages are published. When a message is published to a topic, all users or applications subscribing to the topic are guaranteed delivery. There are essentially three methods by which you may subscribe to SNS:

  1. E-mail – In which you or the application will receive an e-mail detailing the message.

  2. HTTP – In which a web service will be called with the message as a parameter.

  3. SQS – In which a message...
