Alibaba Cloud for AWS Professional の解説
各章ごとにポイントを紹介していきます。 英文は原文のまま、そのあとの箇条書きは内容の超意訳のまとめです。
8. Types of cloud services
The following sections compare general cloud computing services and the relevant characteristics of AWS and Alibaba Cloud, respectively.Generally speaking, cloud services are composed of a set of basic services, falling into computing, storage, network, and database services. Basic AWS and Alibaba Cloud services include:
| Category | AWS | Alibaba Cloud |
|---|---|---|
| Computing | Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), EC2 Elastic GPUs, Auto Scaling, Elastic Container Service (ECS) | Elastic Compute Service (ECS), Elastic GPU Service (EGS), Auto Scaling, Container Service |
| Storage | Amazon Simple Storage Services (S3), DynamoDB, SimpleDB, CloudFront, Elastic File System (EFS) | Object Storage Service (OSS), Table Store, Alibaba Cloud CDN, Network Attached Storage (NAS) |
| Network | Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), Direct Connect, Direct Connect, NAT Gateway, ELB, Elastic IP Addresses, VPN Gateway | Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), Express Connect, Express Connect, NAT Gateway, SLB, Elastic IP, VPN Gateway |
| Database | Relational Database Service (RDS), ElastiCache, DynamoDB, Database Migration Services (DMS) | ApsaraDB for RDS, ApsaraDB for Redis, ApsaraDB for MongoDB, HybridDB for PostgreSQL, Data Transmission Service (DTS) |
- クラウドサービスを4分類、Computing / Storage / Network / Database で比較するよ
上の表では4つの分類ごとにAWS で提供されているプロダクトとAlibaba Cloud で提供されているプロダクトが列挙されています。 それぞれどのプロダクトが対応するのかは次の9章となります。 後でも触れますが VPC のように同じ機能・役割のプロダクトもあれば、 Alibaba Cloud ECS （Virtual Machine、AWS でいう EC2 ）のように AWS にある ECS (Elastic Container Service) とは略称は同じでも中身が違うものもあったりします。 まあ、それほど多くは無いので実用上困ることは無いと考えます。
また、上の4分類の上位層のプロダクト・サービスについても記載があります。
Security Services
These services are employed to protect user data, applications, and services as well as to prevent malicious attacks. For example, AWS provides AWS Shield Standard/Advanced and AWS WAF, and Alibaba Cloud offers Anti-DDoS Basic/Pro, Web Application Firewall, and Server Guard.
Management Services
These services are employed to help users trace cloud applications and manage application permissions and keys. For example, AWS has CloudWatch, Identity and Access Management (IAM), and Key Management Service (KMS), and Alibaba Cloud has CloudMonitor, Resource Access Management, and Key Management Service.
Domains & Websites
These services are employed to provide users with products and services for website development. This includes Domain Name System (DNS) services, domain names purchasing and management, and website building tools. Examples include AWS Route 53 and Alibaba Cloud Web Hosting, DNS, and
Domains.
Big Data Analytics Services
These services are employed to process a massive amount of data. AWS products include AWS Kinesis, and EMR, and Alibaba Cloud products include MaxCompute, E-MapReduce, DataWorks, and DataV.
Application Services
These services are used to optimize cloud providers’ application architectures. For example, AWS has SNS and Alibaba Cloud has Message Service.
Media Services
These services are employed to help users to create media application and platform on cloud. For example, AWS has Elemental MediaLive and Elastic Transcoder, and Alibaba Cloud has ApsaraVideo Live and ApsaraVideo for Media Processing.
9. Services
このドキュメント”Alibaba Cloud for AWS Professionals” は100ページを超える内容なのですが、実はこの9章がそのほとんどを占めています（90ページ以上）。 その内容をすべて転記することはあまり意味はないので（というか手間と時間がかかる割には見る人からすればオリジナルを見ればよい）、再度、Alibaba Cloud が公開しているドキュメントのダウンロードURLを紹介し、あとはプロダクトマッピングとこの9章の目次の紹介までとします。
