2. The following is intended to outline our general
product direction. It is intended for information
purposes only, and may not be incorporated into any
contract. It is not a commitment to deliver any
material, code, or functionality, and should not be
relied upon in making purchasing decisions.
The development, release, and timing of any
features or functionality described for Oracle’s

3. Introduction
• Web Services: Self-contained functions that can be
published and invoked across the web using XML-
based protocols.
• Amazon Web Services (AWS): ‘Web Services’ for
directly accessing Amazon's technology platform and
product data, ranging from retrieving product
information to leveraging Amazon’s vast data center
resources:
• Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)
• Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3)
• Amazon E-Commerce Service
• Amazon Simple Queue Service
• and many more…

4. Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)
• EC2 is an Amazon Web Service offering that enables
customers to create and provision, within minutes, virtual
machines that reside in Amazon’s data center.
• The amount of CPU that is allocated to a particular instance is
expressed in ‘EC2 Compute Units’
• An EC2 Compute Unit is equivalent to the CPU capacity of a
1.0 – 1.2 GHz 2007 Opteron or 2007 Xeon processor
• Amazon is responsible for managing the underlying data
center and network.
• EC2 customers can create custom virtual machines, known
as Amazon Machine Images (AMI), and publish them for
other EC2 customers to use.

5. Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)
EC2 Instance Types

• Bandwidth Costs
• $0.18 per GB Transferred – first 10 TB / month
• $0.16 per GB Transferred – next 40 TB / month
• $0.13 per GB Transferred – over 50 TB / month

6. Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3)
• S3 is an Amazon Web Service offering that enables customers to
leverage Amazon’s data storage infrastructure to store and retrieve
any amount of data.
• Amazon is responsible for managing the underlying data center
and network.
• Amazon charges storage, bandwidth, and request rates for using
S3 storage:
• Storage Cost
• $0.15 per GB per Month of storage used
• Bandwidth Costs
• $0.18 per GB Transferred – first 10 TB / month
• $0.16 per GB Transferred – next 40 TB / month
• $0.13 per GB Transferred – over 50 TB / month
• Request Costs
• $0.01 per 1,000 PUT or LIST Request
• $0.01 per 10,000 GET and all other Requests

• Create, Retrieve, Update, Delete
• Storage location (internal, S3) transparent to user
• Enables transactional capabilities within S3 for SecureFiles
(e.g. Rollback / Commit)
• SecureFiles Archival Example
• Store infrequently accessed SecureFiles on S3
• Low cost ‘online’ data archival
• Reduce high-end storage utilization
