Resources

AWS SNS
Simple Notification Service (SNS) is what publishes messages to SMS and/or email endpoints.
#AWSSNS

AWS RDS
RDS offers SQL database options - otherwise known as relational databases.

Reference
AWS created their own custom SQL database engine, which is called Aurora.

MySQL
RDS offers the following SQL options: Aurora MySQL MariaDB PostgreSQL Oracle Microsoft SQLServer

AWS SNS
In SNS, there are two types of clients: publishers and subscribers. Publishers send the message, and subscribers receive the message.

AWS Redshift
Redshift is a fully-managed data warehouse that is perfect for storing petabytes worth of data.

AWS Regions And Availability Zone
Amazon cloud computing resources are hosted in multiple locations world-wide. These locations are composed of AWS Regions and Availability Zones. Each AWS Region is a separate geographic area.

RDS Concepts MultiAZ
As an AWS user, you can create your applications infrastructure and duplicate it. By placing duplicate infrastructure in multiple regions, high availability is created because if one region fails you have a backup (in a another region) to use.

AWS cloudfront
Amazon CloudFront is a web service that gives businesses and web application developers an easyand cost effective way to distribute content with low latency and high data transfer speeds. Like other AWS services, Amazon CloudFront is a self-service, pay-per-use offering, requiring no long term commitments or minimum fees. With CloudFront, your files are delivered to end-users using a global network of edge locations.

Concepts Regions And AvailabilityZones
An AWS region is an isolated geographical area that is is comprised of three or more AWS Availability Zones.

What is the Cloud?
The simplest definition of the cloud is a computer that is located somewhere else that you are utilizing in some capacity. AWS is a cloud services provider, as the provide access to computers they own (located at AWS data centers), that you use for various purposes.

Fault tolerance, scalability, elasticity, and high availability
Fault tolerance, scalability, elasticity, and high availability are the four primary benefits of the AWS cloud.

AWS dms
AWS Database Migration Service helps you migrate databases to AWS quickly and securely. The source database remains fully operational during the migration, minimizing downtime to applications that rely on the database. The AWS Database Migration Service can migrate your data to and from most widely used commercial and open source databases.

AWS snowball
Snowball is a petabyte-scale data transport solution that uses secure appliances to transfer large amounts of data& into and out of the AWS cloud. Using Snowball addresses common challenges with large-scale data transfers including high network costs, long transfer times, and security concerns. Transferring data with Snowball is simple, fast, secure, and can be as little as one-fifth the cost of high-speed Internet.

Uploading an archive in AWS
Note that the AWS Console cannot be used to upload data onto Glacier. The console can only be used to create a Glacier vault which can be used to upload the data.

AWS EMR
Amazon EMR helps you analyze and process vast amounts of data by distributing the computational work across a cluster of virtual servers running in the AWS Cloud. The cluster is managed using an open-source framework called Hadoop. Amazon EMR lets you focus on crunching or analyzing your data without having to worry about time-consuming setup, management, and tuning of Hadoop clusters or the compute capacity they rely on.

AWS Simple Queue Service
Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) offers a reliable, highly-scalable hosted queue for storing messages as they travel between applications or microservices. It moves data between distributed application components and helps you decouple these components.

AWS Well architected networks
Always build components which are loosely coupled. This is so that even if one component does fail, the entire system does not fail. Also if you build with the assumption that everything will fail, then you will ensure that the right measures are taken to build a highly available and fault tolerant system.

AWS regions availability zones
Regions represent different geographic locations and it is best to host your application across multiple regions for disaster recovery.

AWS s3 faqs
Each object does have a limitation in S3, but you can store virtually unlimited amounts of data. Also each object gets a directly accessible URL

AWS CloudWatch Logs
You can use Amazon CloudWatch Logs to monitor, store, and access your log files from Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances, AWS CloudTrail, and other sources. You can then retrieve the associated log data from CloudWatch Log.

SMS, Lambda, SQS
Using Amazon SNS for System-to-System Messaging with an HTTP/S Endpoint as a Subscriber

AWS pricing on-demand
Since the requirement is just for 3 months, then the best cost effective option is to use On-Demand Instances.

AWS SNS
In SNS, there are two types of clients: publishers and subscribers. Publishers send the message, and subscribers receive the message.

AWS Marketplace
AWS Marketplace is a digital catalog with thousands of software listings from independent software vendors that make it easy to find, test, buy, and deploy software that runs on AWS.
