Step-by-Step Guide to Creating an AWS RDS Database Instance

Image
 Amazon Relational Database Service (AWS RDS) makes it easy to set up, operate, and scale a relational database in the cloud. Instead of managing servers, patching OS, and handling backups manually, AWS RDS takes care of the heavy lifting so you can focus on building applications and data pipelines. In this blog, we’ll walk through how to create an AWS RDS instance , key configuration choices, and best practices you should follow in real-world projects. What is AWS RDS? AWS RDS is a managed database service that supports popular relational engines such as: Amazon Aurora (MySQL / PostgreSQL compatible) MySQL PostgreSQL MariaDB Oracle SQL Server With RDS, AWS manages: Database provisioning Automated backups Software patching High availability (Multi-AZ) Monitoring and scaling Prerequisites Before creating an RDS instance, make sure you have: An active AWS account Proper IAM permissions (RDS, EC2, VPC) A basic understanding of: ...

AWS EMR Vs. Hadoop: 5 Top Differences

With Amazon Elastic MapReduce Amazon EMR, you can analyze and process vast amounts of data. It distributes the computational work across a cluster of virtual servers ( run in the Amazon cloud). An open-source framework of Hadoop manages it. 



AWS EMR Vs. Hadoop




Amazon EMR - Elastic MapReduce, The Unique Features


  • Amazon EMR has made enhancements to Hadoop and other open-source applications to work seamlessly with AWS.
  • For instance, Hadoop clusters running on Amazon EMR use EC2 instances as virtual Linux servers for the master and slave nodes, Amazon S3 for bulk storage of input and output data, and CloudWatch to monitor cluster performance and raise alarms.
  • Also, you can move data into and out of DynamoDB using Amazon EMR and Hive. That orchestrates by Amazon EMR control software that launches and manages the Hadoop cluster. This process is called an Amazon EMR cluster.


What does Hadoop do?


Hadoop uses a distributed processing architecture called MapReduce, in which a task maps to a set of servers for processing.


  • The results of the computation performed by those servers reduce to a single output set.
  • One node, designated as the master node, controls the distribution of tasks. The following diagram shows a Hadoop cluster with the master node directing a group of slave nodes which process the data.
  • One Master node handles multiple slave nodes. All open-source projects run on the Hadoop architecture can also be run on Amazon EMR. The most popular applications, such as Hive, Pig, HBase, DistCp, and Ganglia, are already integrated with Amazon EMR.


By running Hadoop on the Amazon EMR, you will get the following benefits of the cloud:


  1. The ability to provision clusters of virtual servers within minutes.
  2. You can scale the number of virtual servers in your cluster to manage your computation needs and only pay for what you use. 
  3. Integration with other AWS services.
