AWS ASA EXAM QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT
ANSWERS
/.compute - Answer-services replicating the traditional role of local physical servers for
the cloud, offering advanced configurations including autoscaling, load balancing, and
even serverless architecture
/.networking - Answer-application connectivity, access control, and enhanced remote
connections
/.storage - Answer-various kinds of storage platforms designed to fit a range of both
immediate accessibility and long-term backup needs
/.database - Answer-managed data solutions for use cases requiring multiple data
formats: relational, NoSQL, or caching
/.application management - Answer-monitoring, auditing, and configuring AWS account
services and running resources
/.security and identity - Answer-services for managing authentication and authorization,
data and connection encryption, and integration with third-party authentication
management systems
/.AWS Compute Services (name them) - Answer-- Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)
- Lambda
- Auto Scaling
- Elastic Load Balancing
- Elastic Beanstalk
/.AWS Networking Services (name them) - Answer-- Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)
- Direct Connect
- Route53
- CloudFront
/.AWS Storage Services (name them) - Answer-- Simple Storage Service (S3)
- S3 Glacier
- Elastic Block Store (EBS)
- Storage Gateway
/.AWS Database Services (name them) - Answer-- Relational Databases Service (RDS)
- DynamoDB
, /.AWS Application Management Services (name them) - Answer-- CloudWatch
- CloudFormation
- CloudTrail
- Config
/.AWS Security and Identity Services (name them) - Answer-- Identity and Access
Management (IAM)
- Key Management Services (KMS)
- Directory Service
/.AWS Application Integration Services (name them) - Answer-- Simple Notification
Service (SNS)
- Simple Workflow (SWF)
- Simple Queue Service (SQS)
- API Gateway
/.EC2 - Answer-server instances that provide virtual versions of the servers you would
run in your local data center. They are resource efficient and deploy nearly instantly
/.Lambda - Answer-serverless application architecture which allows you to provide
responsive public-facing services without the need for a server thats actually running
24/7. Instead, network events (like consumer requests) can trigger the execution of a
pre-defined code-based operation. When the operation (which runs up to 15 min) is
completed, the event ends and all resources automatically shut down.
/.Auto Scaling - Answer-copies of running EC2 instances can be defined as image
templates and automatically launched or scaled up when client demand can't be met by
existing instances. As demand drops, unused instances can be terminated or scaled
down
/.Elastic Load Balancing - Answer-automatically distributes incoming app traffic across
multiple instances
/.Elastic Beanstalk - Answer-the fastest and simplest way to get an application up and
running on AWS. Developers can simply upload their application code, and the service
automatically handles all of the details, such as resource provisioning, load balancing,
Auto Scaling, and monitoring.
/.Virtual Private Cloud - Answer-a subset of a public cloud that has highly restricted,
secure access
/.Direct Connect - Answer-Bypass internet service providers in your network path. You
can procure rack space within the facility housing it in a location and deploy your
equipment nearby. Once deployed, you can connect this equipment to this using a
cross-connect.
