AWS re:Invent 2016 Service Realignment
2016-12-10 / 412 words / 2 minutes
AWS always categorized its services into functional groups. At AWS re:Invent 2016, a number of new services were announced. Some new categories were added to accomodate these new services and there was some service realignment into the new categories. This post explains some of that realignment.
AWS Service Realignment
Before re:Invent 2016, Amazon Web Services (AWS) categorized their services as:
Compute
Storage and Content Delivery
Database
Networking
Analytics
Enterprise Applications
Mobile Services
Internet of Things
Developer Tools
Management Tools
Security and Identity
Application Services
The following changes occurred:
The Compute category was expanded to include Amazon Lightsail and AWS Batch.
The Storage and Content Delivery category and the Networking category were removed. Service realignment occurred into a Storage category and a Networking & Content Delivery category. As you might expect, Amazon CloudFront is no longer part of the new Storage category, but was moved into the Networking and Content Delivery category. The Storage category now includes the new AWS Snowball Edge and AWS Snowmobile.
No changes occurred in the Database category. PostgreSQL compatibility for Amazon Aurora was announced.
A new Migration category now exists. It includes the AWS Database Migration Service, the AWS Server Migration Service and AWS Snowball, AWS Snowball Edge and AWS Snowmobile.
The Developer Tools category was expanded with the introduction of AWS CodeBuild and AWS X-Ray, and now includes the AWS Command Line Interface.
The Management Tools category now includes the Amazon EC2 Systems Manager and AWS Personal Health Dashboard.
The new Security, Identity & Compliance category replaces the Security and Identity category, and includes the new AWS Organizations and AWS Shield services.
Analytics loses Amazon Machine Learning but gains Amazon Athena and AWS Glue.
A new Artificial Intelligence Category gains the Amazon Machine Learning service from Analytics, and the new Amazon Lex, Amazon Polly and Amazon Rekognition services.
Mobile Services gains just the new Amazon Pinpoint service.
The Application Services category now includes the newly announced AWS Step Functions service.
A new Messaging category includes the new Amazon Pinpoint service but also includes the venerable Amazon SQS, Amazon SNS and Amazon SES services which were part of Application Services.
The Enterprise Applications category has disappeared. The Amazon WorkDocs and Amazon WorkMail services are now shown the a new Business Productivity category. A new Desktop & App Streaming category includes Amazon WorkSpaces and Amazon AppStream 2.0.
The Internet of Things category includes the new AWS Greengrass and AWS IoT Button services.
Finally, the Game Development category hasn’t changed.
