What is AWS
Amazon Web Services (AWS), a subsidiary of Amazon.com,[2] offers a suite of cloud-computing services that make up an on-demand computing platform. These services operate from 13 geographical regions[3] across the world. The most central and best-known of these services arguably include Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud, also known as “EC2”, and Amazon Simple Storage Service, also known as “S3”. As of 2016 AWS has more than 70 services, spanning a wide range, including compute, storage, networking, database, analytics, application services, deployment, management, mobile, developer tools and tools for the Internet of things. Amazon markets AWS as a service to provide large computing capacity quicker and cheaper than a client company building an actual physical server farm.[4]
SKC and AWS
We currently have a subscription to Amazon Web Service for web servers.
Troubleshoot
Error establishing a database connection.
When this happens, my first step is to check the other websites on this server, just to isolate the problem one website? one webserver? all webservers?
on the webserver, I just log into the server and run this command under root.
service mysql start
If the ‘now running’ message does not follow, I usually reboot the server.
use terminal to connect to these webservers, using the following paths.
ssh -i "SKC-AWS1.pem" ubuntu@ec2-54-68-254-86.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com
