Controlling the AWS Cloud with PHP

Amazon Web Services offers a complete set of infrastructure and application services that enable you to run virtually everything in the cloud. These services each have an API, and that allows you to control your resources through your programs and scripts. I’ll introduce you to some of the infrastructure and deployment services like Amazon EC2, AWS CloudFormation, AWS Elastic Beanstalk, and AWS OpsWorks, and show how you can provision servers, and even entire application stacks, with PHP using the AWS SDK for PHP.

3. Amazon Web Services o"ers a complete set of infrastructure and application services that enable you to run virtually everything in the cloud.!
4. In other words…! AWS is a bunch of building blocks.!
5. Some of these blocks are for! building your infrastructure,! Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud! (EC2)! Amazon Relational Database Service! (RDS)! Amazon! Route 53!
6. Some of these blocks are for! building your application,! Amazon Simple Storage Service! (S3)! Amazon Simple Queue Service! (SQS)! Amazon Simple Email Service! (SES)!
7. And some of these blocks build on each! other to create complete solutions.! AWS CloudFormation! AWS! Elastic Beanstalk! AWS! OpsWorks!
8. Amazon Route53! Amazon S3! Amazon SES! Amazon SimpleDB! Amazon SNS! Amazon SQS! Amazon SWF! Amazon VPC! Auto Scaling! AWS Data Pipeline! AWS Elastic Beanstalk! AWS Import/Export! AWS OpsWorks! AWS Storage Gateway! AWS Support! Elastic Load Balancing! Amazon CloudFormation! Amazon CloudFront! Amazon CloudSearch! Amazon CloudWatch! Amazon Direct Connect! Amazon DynamoDB! Amazon EBS! Amazon EC2! Amazon ElastiCache! Amazon Elastic Transcoder! Amazon EMR! Amazon Glacier! Amazon IAM! Amazon Mechanical Turk! Amazon RDS! Amazon Redshi#!

10. AWS services each have an API,! so you can control your resources! through programs and scripts.!
11. So let's provision some servers! from PHP by using the AWS SDK for PHP! to talk to the Amazon EC2 API! Amazon EC2!
12. <?php     require  'vendor/autoload.php';   use  Aws\Ec2\Ec2Client;     $ec2Client  =  Ec2Client::factory('config.php');   $result  =  $ec2Client-­‐>runInstances(array(      'ImageId'            =>  'ami-­‐af45d59f',      'MinCount'          =>  1,      'MaxCount'          =>  3,      'InstanceType'  =>  'm1.small',   ));     $ids  =  $result-­‐>getPath('Instances/*/InstanceId');   $ec2Client-­‐>waitUntilInstanceRunning(array(      'InstanceIds'  =>  $ids,   ));   echo  'Provisioned  '  .  count($ids)  .  '  servers.';    
13. AWS SDK for PHP! •  PHP 5.3+, PSR compliant, Composer install! •  Built on top of Guzzle (guzzlephp.org)! •  Persistent connections, parallel requests! •  Simple array-like inputs and outputs! •  Easy pagination, "waiters", other helpers! •  Event hooks, plugins, wire logging! •  https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-php!
14. Amazon EC2 Vocabulary! •  Amazon Machine!   Image (AMI)! •  Instance! •  Instance Type! •  Region! •  Availability Zone! •  Security Group! •  Key Pair!
15. Instance Type Families! •  Micro! •  Standard! •  High CPU! •  High Memory! •  High I/O! •  High Storage! •  High Memory Cluster! •  Cluster Compute! •  Cluster GPU!
16. Regions and Availability Zones (AZ)! us-east-1, eu-west-1, ap-southeast-2, etc.!
17. Amazon EC2 Vocabulary! •  Amazon Machine!   Image (AMI)! •  Instance! •  Instance Type! •  Region! •  Availability Zone! •  Security Group! •  Key Pair!

23. Poof! A working PHP 5.5 web server! running in the AWS cloud!!
25. Reserved! ! Make a low, one- time payment and receive a discount on the hourly charge! ! For committed utilization! Free Tier! ! Get Started on AWS with free usage & no commitment! ! For proof-of- concepts and getting started! On-Demand ! ! Pay for compute capacity by the hour with no long-term commitments! ! For spiky workloads, ! or to de$ne needs! Spot! ! Bid for unused capacity. Price %uctuates based on supply and demand! ! For time-insensitive or transient workloads! EC2 Purchasing Options!
26. Amazon EC2 and its friends form the! foundation of scalable apps and solutions! Elastic Load Balancing! Need EC2 Auto Scaling! Amazon! CloudWatch!

32. AWS CloudFormation! AWS! OpsWorks! AWS! Elastic Beanstalk! What do they have in common?! 1.  No additional charge for these services! 2.  You still have full access to your AWS resources managed by these services!
33. CloudFormation Templates! •  AWSTemplateFormatVersion! •  Description! •  Parameters! •  Mappings! •  Resources! •  Outputs!
34. Let's take a look at a CloudFormation! template that builds a PHP stack! with multiple servers! ! https://s3.amazonaws.com/code-samples-jcl/cfn-php-tpl.json! [DEMO]!
35. <?php     require  'vendor/autoload.php';   use  Aws\CloudFormation\CloudFormationClient;     $cfn    =  CloudFormationClient::factory('cfg.php');   $tpl    =  'https://s3.amazonaws.com/code-­‐samples-­‐jcl'   $tpl  .=  '/cfn-­‐php-­‐tpl.json';   $result  =  $cfn-­‐>createStack(array(      'StackName'      =>  'TestPhpStack',      'TemplateURL'  =>  $tpl,      'Parameters'    =>  array(          array(              'ParameterKey'      =>  'KeyName',              'ParameterValue'  =>  'my-­‐keypair'          )      )   ));  
36. Hand-selected Features! of the AWS SDK for PHP!
37. Iterators! •  Iterate through entire result sets! •  No handling of markers or tokens! •  Uses SPL iterators! $list  =  $s3-­‐>getListObjectsIterator([      'Bucket'  =>  'my-­‐bucket'   ]);   foreach  ($list  as  $object)  {      echo  $object['Key']  .  "\n";   }  
38. SDK 1.x – Before Iterators! $dynamo_db  =  new  AmazonDynamoDB();   $start_key  =  null;   $people  =  array();       do  {      $params  =  array(          'TableName'  =>  'people',      );          if  ($start_key)  {        $params['ExclusiveStartKey']  =  array(            'HashKeyElement'  =>  array(                'S'  =>  $start_key            )        );        $start_key  =  null;    }      $response  =  $dynamo_db-­‐>scan($params);    if  ($response-­‐>isOK())  {        foreach   ($response-­‐>body-­‐>Items  as  $item)  {            echo  (string)  $item-­‐>name-­‐>S;        }                  if  ($response-­‐>body-­‐>LastEvaluatedKey)  {            $start_key  =  (string)  $response-­‐>body   -­‐>LastEvaluatedKey-­‐>HashKeyElement-­‐>S;        }      }  else  {                  throw  new  DynamoDB_Exception('…');    } }  while  ($start_key);
