• CHOICES – There are many offerings at Amazon –

it’s easy to get lost in all of it. Every month,

Amazon releases new features and functionality.

implement monitoring into your overall architecture.

Amazon provides some of this, but you need to

design it effectively for your needs.

Key Takeaways

• Oracle/PeopleSoft Installation

– Follow the same process to building PeopleSoft in the

Cloud as you would normally do. Perform due-diligence

and testing to ensure software compatibility.

– Validate all software licenses. Leverage other software or

network subscriptions the company uses.

– Consult with architects and engineers to validate that

standards are being followed. The default installation

doesn’t conform.

Key Takeaways

• Amazon Web Services Instances

– Integrate instances with company infrastructure services –

DNS, LDAP/Active Directory, Terminal Server license

servers.

– Windows instance machine names change after stopping

and restarting instance. Amazon provides a utility to

enable persistent machine names.

– Linux mount points are not automatically configured.

Remember to define the mount point in /etc/fstab!

Key Takeaways

• Systems/Storage Performance

– Linux and Windows systems performed as expected.

Dual CPU systems with a lot of memory are quite fast!

– Storage performance differs by Amazon’s hosting regions

and availability zones.

• Small WRITE operations and general READ

operations appeared normal.

• Disk performance was slower for large WRITE

operations in VPC US East region as compared to

EC2 US West.

– Example: PeopleSoft database installation script

– 8-10 hrs in EC2 compared to 18-20 hrs in VPC.

– Example: 30GB database backup to disk – 30

min in EC2 compared to 1.5 hrs in VPC.

Key Takeaways

• Virtual Private Cloud

– The VPC is secured with firewalls. Access through the

firewall is provisioned on an as-needed basis by server and

ports, depending on the application/service requirements.

– VPC uses same internet connection that the rest of the

company uses. Consideration for performance regarding

VPC and company internet access, and vice versa.

– Large file transfers can take a long time

• 1 GB file transfer between oracle.com and VPC: 5 hours

• 30 GB database between US West US East: 4 days

• Creative workaround: Provision instance in same region

as VPC, load files/software to Amazon Elastic Block

Storage, and share/mount storage to VPC servers.

Key Takeaways

• The region of your instances influences end-user response and

overall perception of the system. Keep in mind where your

customers are connecting from.
