Build server - CodeBuild you either run with prebuilt Docker containers or you use a custom built Docker container that automatically gets launched when you push your code to GitHub/CodeCommit. No server involved.
Fileshare - a lot of companies just use Dropbox or OneDrive. No server involved
FTP - managed AWS SFTP Service. No server involved.
DHCP - Managed VPN Service by AWS. No server involved.
DNS - Route 53 and with Amazon Certificate Manager it will manage SSL certificates attached to your load balancer and CDN and auto renew. No servers involved.
Active Directory - Managed by AWS no server involved.
Firewall and router - no server to
Manage. You create security groups and attach them to your EC2 instances, databases, etc.
You set your routing table up and attach it to your VMs.
Networking equipment and routers - again that’s a CloudFormatiom template or go old school and just configuration on a website.
Yes I realize SFTP is not FTP. But I also realize that no one in their right mind is going to deliver data over something as insecure as FTP in 2019.
We weren’t allowed to use regular old FTP in the early 2000s when I was working for a bill processor. We definitely couldn’t use one now and be compliant with anything.
I was trying to give you the benefit of a doubt.
Amateur mistake that proves you have no experience running any this.
If it doesn’t give you a clue the 74 in my name is the year I was born. I’ve been around for awhile. My first internet enabled app was over the gopher protocol.
How else do you think I got shareware from the info-Mac archives over a 7 bit line using the Kermit protocol if not via ftp? Is that proof enough for you or do I need to start droning on about how to optimize 65C02 assembly language programs by trying to store as much data in the first page of memory because reading from the first page took two clock cycles on 8 bit Apple //e machines instead of 3?
We don’t “share” large files. We share a bunch of Office docs and PDF’s as do most companies.
Yes, you do have to run DNS, Active Directory + VPN. You said you couldn’t do it without running “servers”.
No we don’t have servers called
SFTP-01
ADFS-01
Etc.
either on prem or in the cloud.
Even most companies that I’ve worked for that don’t use a cloud provider have their servers at a colo.
We would still be using shares hosted somewhere not on prem. How is that different from using one of AWS storage gateway products.
