Compute & Storage
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) provides the broadest and deepest
compute platform with choices of processor, storage, networking, and purchase model, enabling
the migration of legacy OSS workload into the cloud. Similarly, leveraging Auto Scaling and
AWS Graviton Processor, AWS provides
OSS Solution developers with the ability to optimize the performance, and to get a price
performance that is up to 40% better over comparable current generation x86-based instances.
Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling provides the flexibility to
scale manually, on-demand, on a schedule, and predictively. For example, when expanding a live
mobility network, service fulfillment applications can be directed to scale up at the start of
the maintenance window and scale down at the end of it.
Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) enables you to run
Kubernetes-compliant OSS applications on AWS without the need to install and operate your
own Kubernetes control plane. One Amazon EKS cluster can support up to 10 node groups, where each
node group can support up to 100 nodes. This enables you to reduce the overall complexity of
your OSS stack and limit the traditional control plane overhead associated with on-premises
workloads. Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) provides you with a
fully-managed container orchestration service and leverages serverless technologies from
AWS Fargate to provide your OSS application
with dynamic scaling ability without the typical provisioning, configuration, and scaling
overhead of managing infrastructure fleets. AWS
App Mesh provides you with the observability and control to govern how OSS services
communicate with each other and what metrics, traces, and logs to capture.
Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) provides a high-performance,
block-storage service designed for use with Amazon EC2, which enables OSS applications that are
throughput and transaction intensive, such as running a custom graph database representing
network topologies in real-time, or running a database to support a legacy OSS application.
Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) provides the scalability, data
availability, security, and performance required to store network performance data and network
configuration exports, and share across the OSS stack, enabling to scale the size of the
network supported by an OSS solution. Similarly, Amazon S3 provides various storage classes,
inclusive of Amazon S3 Glacier (that provides
low-cost data archiving for stringent data storage regulatory requirements). Amazon Elastic File System (EFS) provides a simple, serverless,
set-and-forget, elastic file system that enables the sharing of configuration data, temporary
files, logs, etc., across the entire OSS application stack, without having to provision or
manage the storage. This enables CSPs to leverage cloud storage benefits for legacy and new
OSS applications.
