This Amazon Web Services is took as subordinate of Amazon.com, it started to provide coud
computing facilities in 2006 and launched, they provide different type of solutions platforms and
services has absolutely concreted the technique for cloud computing. But the Amazon EC2 was
launched by amazon in previous 2006 August, which was a public beta, as they’re having 50 plus
more services like few example are defined below such as:

These are some different categories of theirs services:

 AWS Elastic Beanstalk
 Amazon Elastic Cloud Computer “Amazon EC2”
 Amazon Dynamo-DB
 Amazon S3

Google cloud platform was an essential and made different kind of services available and also the
solutions were provided, which allows you to being on the same infrastructure such they merged
hardware and software infrastructure while using their Google services such as Gmail, Youtube.
They started to provide their service in 2008 and launched, they’re also having different kind of
product and services which are also 50 to 60 plus and more.

There are some different kinds of Google cloud platform services:

 Google App Engine
 Google Computer Engine
 Google Cloud Big-table
 Google Cloud CDN
 Google Big Query

Amazon EC2 Business Model: Amazon EC2 or Elastic Computing Service is uses
Infrastructure-as-a-service business delivery model, provides the usages related to intra-cloud
network service, storage’s, processor provisioning, virtual instances and other resources. Basically
IaaS model gives users more controls and flexible functionality.

Amazon EC2 Development Environment:

Amazon EC2 have different type of services to build a development environment and supports
multiple languages, those SDKs, Libraries and some other variety of developer tools need to be
install in this environment to take out solutions of building programs on environment. Such as
Amazon EC2 having feature of AWS Cloud9 which is environment used for development and this
environment based on cloud Development Environment, which makes you able to execute,
debugging or writing a code just using only a browser, it’s having functionalities such as it has its
own terminal, debugger and code-editor. This environment comes with the complete package with
supporting multiple languages such as PHP, Python, Java and so on. Cloud9 environment allows
you to access your written code from anywhere like even if you’re at home or office or anywhere
else like you just need an internet connection to your machine to access your project. It also
enables a developer to share written code or complete environment with other team members,
paired work of all team members and tracks pathway inputs of each of them.

Cloud9 which is provided by Amazon web services, makes flexible to execute your any kind of
environment related to development which is coped on instance of Amazon EC2. This
environment having many beneficial features and functions such as it makes you able to get hint of
code and completion of code throughout the debugging process. The service of Cloud9 gives

Google Cloud Platform Scalability and Performance:

In scalability, capacity adjusts itself on consumer’s demand, basically this Google Cloud Platform
system has ability to handle several quantity of work over removing or adding resources since to
the system. For instance; one of the application of web which is developed by Google compute
Engine works simultaneously for several kind of several users, those are merged together, so
handling this web application’s traffic and peaks. It’s seen as a key to business driver when you’ll
be moving to cloud, the adjustment of resources is flexible in Google Cloud Platform, even
reducing the cost when you decrease resources.

But Google don’t do any compromise in experience of consumer and performance. While the time
of providing high extreme resources to user is when the traffic of users instance goes on peak. So
when you needed a required resources, it must provide by Google Cloud Platform.
GKE which is Google Kubernetes Engine and GCE which is Google Compute Engine, in both
these, collections are combined with auto-scalar and based on metrics this processes see the
condition like in growing and shrinking the resources to consumer.

Server-less platform of Google Cloud offered already coped storages, databases, compute system
and other kind of facilities. So the performance is take its place rapidly act to scaling from 0 to
volume requests which volume even could go high, whatever resources consumed by users,
metrics are auto-saved. Based on these metrics user pays.

Metrics crosswise over infrastructure and Applications provided by Google cloud platform, which
help to take decision when you make data determined scaling. And Cloud-spanner, Big-table such
type of these databases can increase performance and constantly provide theirs best even on huge
size of data.

Amazon EC2 Scalability and Performance:

Scalability and performance according to perspective of Amazon EC2 is defined as; its shows a
Virtual Computing Environment (VCE), which makes you able to launch instances within various
OS via using Interfaces of web-services, even allows you to load them within environs of
customized applications and controls the confidential accesses of networks, it executes your
image-file-system within one or many systems which are provided. To utilize Amazon EC2; you
just follow some steps and conditions to make scalability good, selecting of Amazon Machine
Image AMI template to be execute which already pre-configured by the provider system or they
gives ability in order to make your own configured system like using data, libraries and other
setting services. Also offering constant security and performance capability to the existing system,
it makes user more flexible to use all the offered functionalities easily and improves the system’s
scalability.

Depends on user needs when the instance needs to be start or stop, just those actions performed by
users, so when you begin to use the instance, the agent makes metrics according to usage of
instance while Amazon EC2 uses billing system, this gives ability to reduce cost, just you pay for
what you’ve used.
Amazon EC2 also provides the optimization on cost reduction and computational performance.
Such we’ve fleet of Amazon EC2, using a single API you can access the fleets of EC2, and
provisioning the capacity of compute crossways to various instances of EC2. Even you can state as
per requirements which instance has to be scale up or down. And all resources are provided on-
Demand of user. On the other side, the process of hibernation is seen which is used to hibernate
your instance like when the user wants to stop instance or resume, when the instance is hibernated
you can’t even perform function on instance, it’s also gives capability to reduce cost and enhance
its performance.

Reliability and Fault Tolerance of Google Cloud platform: Google cloud platforms
services are meant to be reliable for any kind of industry organization even paid or non-paid such
as used for institutions of governments, any kind of business, schools and colleges. Google having
powerful infrastructure which is used by 1 billion of users and Google cloud platform uses and
support eight applications, variety of services provided by Google cloud platform to use which as
App Engine offering Infrastructure as a service and another one is Compute Engine which using
model of Platform-as-a-service, also provide best offers via Gmail to utilize it. Where for the fault
tolerant for GCP is defined as, the architecture of Microsoft active directory deployed on Google
cloud which has Internet information Services IIS and SQL server services.

Reliability and Fault Tolerance of Amazon EC2: The Amazon EC2 is so influential
and great instance. It’s also called a virtual machine as it as numerous advantages like offering
capacity of computing which is quiet greatly scalable and even easy to use just like start the
machine and stop. They offering several amongst operating systems to choose, the need of straight
investments’ are eradicated, fastest services provided by Amazon, you can easily make your own
application and deploy in the fastest moment and on Amazon EC2 gives elasticity of several
servers to be launch when needed like as per your requirements. As fault tolerance is managed on
Amazon EC2, when the users get allowance to access those offered resources, so the mechanism of
EC2 works as user couldn’t face any error from initializing to configuring. It also comprises
regions which took as geographical that known as for fault-tolerance is zone of availability. So
when the user accessing the instance so Amazon machine image (AMI) must be selected and user
doesn’t face any delay.

There are other Customer Friendly Pricing accessible which offered by Google cloud pricing
models, Pay as you go; in which when you’ll be needing service so you’ve to pay. 2nd one is
Termination fees; in this model you don’t have to pay in each second when turning it off. And the
last one is No up-front costs: there’s no any cost required by google, some greats services are
provided by Google.

Pricing Model provided by Amazon EC2:

Before getting subscription via pricing, it’s a free to get trial and EC2 five sorted categories of
pricing model which are defined below:

On-Demand: The resources provided by Amazon EC2 is depending on consumer, if it gets less
subscription is the beginning, and after some time, the consumer needed more resources, so it
could be offer at On-Demand manner. There’s no any long term commitment done between
provider and consumers, as users uses application on demands and pay for them.

Spot Instances: Which allows you to get capacity of computing while requesting and discounts of
90% provided on getting on Demand offer.
Saving Plans: This one is the most flexible pricing on which you get one time subscription for
even one month constant or one year.

Reserved Instances: Discounts provided in Reserved Instance are quite good and up to 75%
given. When you get subscription of Instance it give additional features to use, so you can use
those reserved instance whenever you want.

Dedicated Hosts: Dedicated hosting only specified for use and it’s took as EC2 server physically.
And provides hourly based subscription plan on-Demand.

Google Cloud Platform Auto-Scaling/Elasticity:

While managing groups of instances in Google Cloud Platform, proficiencies of auto-scaling are
provided and this allows to you perform action like even adding or deleting instances depends
whether reducing or enhancing loads of work. It helps you to handling and managing trafficking to
be increase. When you needed minimum resources and it must reduce cost with checking the
parameters of resources usages.so when you adding the instances It means you’ll get scaling to
upward and when you decreasing or deleting the instances means the scaling will go downward.

There are some essentials concepts and services are used to auto-scaling in Google Cloud platform
which are:

Managed Groups of Instances: There are both concepts are seen like unmanaged and managed
groups, so the auto-scaling only to be perform with managed group of instances in Google cloud
platform, whether you’re adding or deleting instances which made through template of instance.

Policy of Auto-Scaling and Utilization Targeted: In this procedure you makes some policy and
creates auto-scalar when to choose the level of target utilization, there are some following
standards defined below through which you can define policies:
- Utilization of CPU which is averaged.
- Allocation to capacity of HYPER TEXT TRANSFER PROTOCOL load assessment.
- Cloud metrics of monitoring.
There are two types of periods are observed and jumble-sale by Google Cloud Platform:
 Period of Cool down
When instance to be initialize, sometimes usage
statuses aren’t reflected usually, so these kind of
statistics of usage wouldn’t be steadfast for the
auto-scalar to comprehend. When you’ll be
omitting the corresponding data, meanwhile, in
this period of time, you take an cool down process
which permits instances to complete initializing of
instance afore the gathering usage information
process starts by the auto-scalar and the cool-down
time amount is 60 sec.
Period of Stabilization
On the edge of last 10 minutes of period,
the groups of endorsed targeted size is
calculated by auto-scalar. These preceding
10 minutes are stated as the period of
stabilization. But it could make delay to
scaling down while usage of these last 10
minutes. But this feature is considered as
auto-scaling

Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling/Elasticity:

Through Amazon EC2 auto-scaling the instances are automatically increased or decreased
according to the requirements and conditions you defines while workload and it permits to
preserve availability of application. There’s a feature defined as FMF which is Fleet Management
Feature specifically used for Amazon EC2 which helps to scaling on auto-mode to maintaining
accessibility and healthiness of your fleet whether it should be available or not according to the
needs of consumer. There are also some beneficial features of predictive and dynamic scaling,
through both of these scaling features you can even eradicate or add instances of Amazon EC2.

Where the procedure of Scaling at Dynamic works as, it’s always to make changes on demand, on
the other side, Predictive scaling process works as; those demands which are predicted are made
available as EC2 instances automatically. Both of these mechanism could be merge together to
make rapid scaling process.

Some Benefits are defined in Amazon Auto-Scaling which are:

- Improve fault tolerance: This process of improving always detects the useless
instance and delete it or new one instance is to be replaced with useless one.
- Costs based on lower: It maintains cost of consumer like the resource or instance
would be available when it’s needed.
 - Increases the availability of application: This process is used to ensure that your
Auto-scaling process is working in right way and compute the amounts. It improves
capacity with scaling process of predictive.

Google Cloud Platform Monitoring Tools:

Platform of Google cloud is highly active and available publically in order to provide several
services such as Machine Learning, Big Data, Computational power, Storages and services to
development applications, so there are several kinds of tool are used by Google Cloud Monitoring,
via monitoring tools, those occurred errors or bugs could be troubleshoot automatically, so the
performance could take it good place and optimized with the help of constant monitoring.

Especially those applications which powered by cloud and their performances, robustness and
overall healthiness shown while getting monitor services. Metadata, events and metrics are
collected From GCP, which comes in full-stack monitoring.
Those tools are listed below:

Google Cloud Storage Monitoring tool: Which is used to monitor storage’s containers in real-
time and analyze it.

Google Cloud File-store Monitoring tool: It manages the services of file-storage which requires
for application, and the file-system interface and data’s shared file-system is necessary for
applications. This platform allows you to make sure the readiness and robustness of instances,
rapidly trouble-shooting of errors.
Some of other tools like for resources, billing, storage disks, and networks, on the other side, it’s
confidentiality, integrity and availability are also monitored by Google Cloud Platform.

Monitoring Tools of Amazon EC2:

Amazon Web Services offers several kinds of monitoring tools that used to check your all instance
related services, depends what tools you configure to get examine. However, the part of
monitoring those services is mainly covers performance, availability and reliability of the instance
of Amazon EC2. You must be gather complete data of all fragments of Amazon web services
solutions to be monitor so you’ll be able to debug any kind of system failure or error occurred in
instance. Below the different kind of conditions may be occur, so getting performance analyzes all
the time is needed. There are some kind of services need to be monitor such as Utilization of
network, CPU, performance of Disks even its read/writes mechanism and some of other logs
needed to be observe.

There are two kind of monitoring tools comes in Amazon EC2: One is Manual Monitoring Tools
and other one is Automatic Monitoring Tools.

Manual Monitoring Tools are must be enable by users to check performance for specific resource
which is being utilized by consumer.

Automatic Monitoring Tools, which provides auto-check in performances of services which are
used by consumer.

1 Automatic Monitoring Tools

2 Amazon Cloud-Watch Alarms
3 Cloud-Watch Logs of Amazon
4 Check of system status
5 Amazon Cloud-Watch events
6 Instance status check
7 Management Package of AWS used for the system center of Microsoft and managing
operations
8 Amazon EC2 Scripts Monitoring

Manual Monitoring Tools: This part of manual monitoring allows users to monitor those
provided services by himself such like check of status, scripting monitors and alarming Cloud-
Watch aren’t enclosed with it. Some of the dashboards are displayed to user to monitor all of these
things according to the user’s requirements.
