 Amazon S3
 Demo
 Resource
 Q&A

3. Why use Cloud Storage?
 Highly Available with Strong Consistency
 Provide access to data in face of failures/partitioning
 Durability
 Replicate data several times within and across data
centers
 Scalability
 Need to scale to Exabyte's and beyond
 Provide a global namespace to access data around the
world
 Automatically load balance data to meet peak traffic
demands

 SMB can be used to access drive across multiple instance(s)

6. Storage Concept
Account Container Blobs Pages/Blocks

7. Blob Details
 Mock Storage Emulator
 Can CDN Enable Account
 Blobs delivered via 24 global CDN nodes
 Can co-locate storage account with compute account
 Explicitly or using affinity groups
 Accounts have two independent 512 bit shared secret keys
 100 TBs per account
 Geo-Replication
 Storage Analytics
 Logs: Provide trace of executed requests for your storage accounts
 Metrics: Provide summary of key capacity and request statistics for
Blobs, Tables, and Queues
 HTTP headers for Blobs
 RESTful and Client API support
