What is an AWS region?
. - a) A region is an independent data center, located in different countries around the
globe
b) A region is a geographical area that consists of different availability zones. Each
region consists of 2 (or more) Availability Zones.
c) A region is a collection of Edge Locations available in specific countries.
d) A region consists of a number of different subset of AWS technologies. For example
the compute region consists of EC2, ECS, Lambda etc
What factors should be considered when choosing an Availability Zone? - Service
Availability, Cost, Latency, Data Sovereignty, Resiliency
What are Availability Zones? - Availability Zones are physically separate datacenters
within an region.
Each Availability Zone is made up of one or more datacenters equipped with
independent power, cooling, and networking. It is set up to be an isolation boundary. If
one zone goes down, the other continues working. Availability Zones are connected
through high-speed, private fiber-optic networks.
What is an edge location? - - The location where CDN content is cached (these are
separate entities from Regions and AZs)
- Are Read/Write capable
- Stores objects for the defined TTL
What is Amazon Cloudfront? - It's a Content Delivery Network (CDN) that caches copies
of data closer to the customer.
Why use Edge Locations? - Decreased Latency, Increased Performance, Enhanced
Security, Increased Scalability, Increased Global Reach, Decreased Costs and
Customization
What are AWS local zones? - Designed to extend the AWS network to reduce latency
and bring services to specific geographic areas.
AWS Local Zones - • Bring AWS resources (compute, database, storage, ...) closer to
your users
• Good for latency-sensitive applications
, What are AWS wavelength zones? - Infrastructure deployments that embed AWS
compute and storage services within the telecommunications service providers'
datacenters at the edge of the 5G network
What is the AWS Management Console? - Secure, easy to access, web based portal
where you can manage cloud computing, storage, and other resources running in AWS
What is an API? - An application programming interface (API) allows application
developers to bypass traditional web pages and interact directly with the underlying
service through function calls.
What is 5G? - The latest generation of mobile communications, featuring high data
transfer speeds over high frequencies with minimal latency and requiring low energy.
What is IoT? - Internet of Things (IoT) is the collection of devices that can communicate
over the Internet with each other or with a control console in order to affect and monitor
the real world. IoT devices might be labeled as smart devices or smart home
equipment.
What are AWS Outposts? - Fully managed service that extends AWS infrastructure,
services, APIs and tools to virtually any data center, for a truly hybrid experience
What is AWS Auto Scaling? - AWS Auto Scaling is a new AWS service that helps you
optimize the performance of your applications while lowering infrastructure costs by
easily and safely scaling multiple AWS resources. It simplifies the scaling experience by
allowing you to scale collections of related resources that support your application with
just a few clicks. AWS Auto Scaling helps you configure consistent and congruent
scaling policies across the full infrastructure stack backing your application. AWS Auto
Scaling will automatically scale resources as needed to align to your selected scaling
strategy, so you maintain performance and pay only for the resources you actually
need.
What is Amazon S3? - Amazon S3 is storage for the Internet. It provides a simple web
interface that offers a highly-scalable, reliable, and low-latency data storage
infrastructure at very low costs.
What is AWS RDS? - RDS is a managed relational database service.
What is AWS? - Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a cloud-based service provided by
Amazon that allows for the execution of application on a virtual server that runs using
servers maintained or rented by Amazon. AWS has all the typical benefits of a cloud
service, including elasticity, scalability, and the ability to use large amounts of
computing resources on a per-use fee basis, which is ultimately much cheaper than
maintaining a server farm directly.
What are the EC2 instance types? - General Purpose
