NAVIJO ON CLOUD

A lot of different things come to mind when I think of 5G. The capabilities it brings forth in terms of enhanced bandwidth, lower latency, higher speeds, higher reliability; the different 5G enabled services that Cloud providers have launched; and even the recent news about how air traffic can be affected by 5G, owing to the capabilities of 5G to handle radio bands of much broader frequency range compared to 4G; etc. The capabilities of 5G further takes me to think about specific use cases: Think of a hospital with thousands of connected health monitoring 5G enabled devices. The higher speeds and lower latency can help transmit the information collected by these devices to a processing unit which can all help take faster decisions to save lives. Think of an industrial machine shop using connected 5G enabled sensors which can detect variations in temperature, alignment of a drill bit, or any other change that can affect the machining operation. 5G capabilities of these sensors can hel

This blog is the second part in the series on AWS Outposts.  If you have not worked on AWS Outposts, I suggest read my previous blog where I have provided an overview of AWS Outposts.   As I have indicated in my previous blog, AWS Outposts is tailored made for scenarios such as local data storage, low latency processing and Hybrid Cloud use cases. In this blog let us look at how we can use AWS Outposts for solving some of these problems using 2 use cases.   Use Case 1 : Customer has a local data storage requirement i.e. No data at rest or no databases on Cloud.   Solution: Let us look at how we can setup a simple 3-tier architecture (consisting of a Presentation layer, an application layer and a data layer) using AWS Outposts and Cloud, to address this use case. Infrastructure setup - For the purpose of this blog, we will consider a simple AWS setup with 1 region and 1 AZ. Our VPC consists of 3 subnets, 2 private and 1 public. AWS Outposts sits on one of the Private Subnet wh

AWS Outposts is a managed service which helps run fully managed AWS services in your on-premise environment or at an AWS edge location. AWS Outposts are designed to help run your workloads and applications using familiar AWS services and API’s. To setup AWS Outposts, you have to choose from a standard predefined configuration of Compute and Storage based on their processing and computation needs. Think of AWS Outposts just like another subnet in your VPC; because AWS Outposts is just really that, a separate subnet. You will use the familiar AWS API’s and you will manage it using the same AWS console. The only difference is that AWS Outposts rack and servers will physically sit in your on-premise data center and you as the customer is responsible for the physical security of the AWS Outposts.  The AWS O utposts family include AWS Outposts Rack and AWS Outposts Servers . AWS Outposts Rack comes in a 42U form factor and provides AWS services such as compute, storage, databases and API
