Abstract:
In this talk, we are going to give an introduction to Amazon AWS – the biggest and most widely used cloud computing platform. We are going to show live demos of allocating, connecting, and using different AWS services including virtual machines (EC2), storage (S3), databases (RDS), and distributed computation platforms (Elastic MapReduce) etc.
Zhiming began by presenting an overview of the inner workings of the AWS platform.
Weijia followed by presenting more in-depth use cases of the AWS platform, including a demonstration of how to use AWS to perform MapReduce conveniently and succinctly in 80 lines of Java code or less – much of which was your obligatory I/O code!
