Tiivistelmä
World Wide Web (WWW) has achieved a significant role in information sharing, communication and service delivery. Online identity and existence have become an essential part of the success of the enterprises and web-based applications are growing constantly, causing rapid growth in the web traffic. This rapid growth is dynamic in nature and often unpredictable in terms of resource demands, seamless response time and service delivery. The classic approach of traditional infrastructure provisioning involves service interruption and capital expenditure to purchase new servers or upgrade the existing system infrastructure. This is why solution architects are focusing on the innovation of new systems to ensure operational continuity of unpredictable system by means of scalable system design and considering “cloud services” for building the scalable web applications.
Flexibility, availability, and scalability are some of the attributes of cloud platform that introduces concepts, best practices, tools and techniques to design, implement and operate a cloud platform to scale web applications dynamically. Servers can be provisioned automatically when required (increase in the resource demand) and destroyed when there is no need (decline in the resource demand) with highly virtualized and scalable cloud platform.
Among several cloud service providers, Amazon is one of the famous cloud service providers that offer a wide range of computing services in a virtualized environment. This study concerns the design and implementation of a scalable web application using Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud platform. This study provides a granular understanding of how servers in the cloud are scaled when stressed out using benchmarking tools and the whole process remain transparent to the application consumer. The performed experiments, results, and analysis presented in this report shows that proposed (scalable) cloud architecture is proficient to manage application demand and saving overall infrastructure investment.
