Respond To The Following In A Minimum Of 175 Wordsyour Supervisor Com

Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words: Your supervisor comes to you with the following issue: GIG, Inc. is having a problem handling the amount of traffic from their online estimate portion of their website for their customers. They are specifically having issues between 3 pm EST and 7 pm EST. These is the busiest period of time. Your supervisor states that he has heard that when the system migrates to the cloud, there may be cost-effective options. Research the design of performance scalability in the AWS environment. Ensure you research how AWS cloud uses specific services to assist with performance.

Paper For Above instruction

The increasing demand for online services necessitates scalable infrastructure to ensure optimal performance, especially during peak traffic hours. AWS (Amazon Web Services) provides a suite of services designed to enhance performance scalability, making it an ideal choice for companies like GIG, Inc. facing traffic surges between 3 pm and 7 pm EST. Implementing auto-scaling groups (ASGs) is a fundamental AWS service that allows resources to automatically expand or contract based on pre-defined conditions such as CPU utilization or network traffic. This dynamic scaling ensures that the system can handle increased load without manual intervention, reducing latency and improving user experience during peak hours.

Additionally, AWS Elastic Load Balancer (ELB) distributes incoming traffic across multiple EC2 instances, preventing any single server from becoming overwhelmed. This service enhances fault tolerance and optimizes resource utilization. To further improve performance, Amazon CloudFront, AWS’s content delivery network (CDN), caches content at edge locations worldwide, decreasing latency for end-users and alleviating the load on origin servers during high traffic periods.

Cost-efficiency is maintained through AWS's pay-as-you-go pricing model, which enables GIG, Inc. to only pay for the resources utilized during peak times, avoiding the costs of overprovisioning infrastructure year-round. AWS’s monitoring tools, such as CloudWatch and AWS Trusted Advisor, provide real-time insights and recommendations for optimizing resource allocation, ensuring that performance remains consistent while controlling costs.

In conclusion, leveraging AWS services such as auto-scaling, load balancing, CDNs, and monitoring tools can effectively address GIG, Inc.’s performance challenges during peak periods. These services offer scalable, resilient, and cost-efficient solutions vital for maintaining website responsiveness and customer satisfaction in a high-traffic environment.
