Evaluate the scalability, dependability, manageability, and adaptability of Amazon EC2, Amazon S3, and Rightscale

Amazon EC2

Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) gives a complete computing environment, preconfigured software, memory, and a processor. This provides scalability in few minutes on the basis pay-as-you-go mechanism. This also reduces the time that is needed to boot and obtain new instances, permitting you to scale capacity quickly, as your requirements of computing change. Amazon EC2 transforms the computing economics by permitting you to just pay for capacity that you actually utilize. For developer, Amazon EC2 provides the tools to make applications of failure resilient, and isolates itself from common scenarios of failure (Amazon Web Services, 2012)

Amazon S3

For internet, Amazon S3 provides storage facility. It is designed in order to provide developers with easy web-scale computing. It provides an interface for simple web services, which can be ...
