is a collection of remote computing services also as a cloud computing platform.
It is a comprehensive cloud platform
platform offered by amazon that offers flexible, reliable, scalable, easy-to-use and pay-as-you-go cloud computing solution.
02 What is S3?
S3 stands for "Simple Storage Service".
It allows storing any volume of data and
retrieving data at any time.
Reduces cost significantly, eliminating the
requirement for investments.
It offers effective scalability, data
availability, data protection and performance. 03 Define Autoscaling.
It is a function that allows provision and
launch new instances whenever there is a demand.
It allows to automatically increase or
decrease resource capacity in relation to the demand.
It monitors the application and
automatically adjusts capacity to maintain steady, predictable performance at the lowest possible cost.
04 What is VPC?
VPC is a cloud computing service offered
by major providers like AWS, Azure and GCP.
It creates a private, isolated network
within the public cloud, giving you control over network settings, security, and connectivity.
VPC enables you to deploy resources,
manage IP address ranges, and ensures data isolation, enhancing scalabiliy and security for cloud based application. 05 What is Amazon SQS?
A fully managed message queuing service.
Using this services, you can send, receive and sttore any quantity of messages between the applications.
This service helps to reduce complexity
and eliminate administrative overhead.
It provides high protection to messages
through the encryption method and delivers them to destinations without losing any message.
06 What is Load Balancing?
Itt automatically directs incoming
application traffic to various destinations and virtual appliances.
Three types of LB:-
Application LB :- Application Load
Balancer (ALB) is a type of load balancer specifically designed to distribute network traffic at the application layer (Layer 7) of the OSI model. ALBs are commonly used in modern web applications and cloud environments to improve scalability, availability, and performance. Gateway LB: A Gateway Load Balancer (GLB) is a type of load balancer that operates at the network gateway level, handling traffic between different networks or network segments. GLBs are typically used in scenarios where multiple gateways are deployed to connect networks or to provide connectivity to external networks, such as the internet.
Network LB: A Network Load Balancer (NLB) is a type of load balancer that operates at the transport layer (Layer 4) of the OSI model. NLBs are specifically designed to distribute incoming network traffic across multiple servers or backend targets in a network or data center environment.
07 What is AWS CloudWatch?
A monitoring service that by provides
actionable insights. The tool provides complete visibility on AWS resources and applications running on AWS and on-premises. Tracks the status of applicattions, which would help to apply suitable response actions and optimize the performance of applications.
08 What is ECS?
Amazon Elastic Container Services is a
fully managed container orchestration service that simplifies your deployment, management and scaling of containerized application.
Simply, describe your application and
resources required, and Amazon ECS will launch, monitor and scale your application accross flexible compute opttions with automatic integrations tto other supporting AWS services that your application needs.
Perform system operations such as
creating, custom scaling and capacity rules, and observe and data from application logs and telemetry. 09 What is Amazon route53?
Highly scalable cloud domain name
system (DNS) web service.
It connects users to AWS infrastructure
such as Amazon EC2 instances, Elastic load balancing, and Amazon S3 buckets.
Using this service, you can configure DNS
health checks and monitors applications continuously for their ability to recover from failures.
10 What are some of the security best practices for Amazon EC2?
Restricting access by only allowing
trusted hosts or networks to access ports on an instance.
Only opening up those permissions you
require, and disabling password based login for instances launched from AMI.
Using IAM to control access to AWS
resources. 11 Name and explain some security products and features available in VPC?
Security group: This acts as a firewall for the EC2 instances, controlling inbound and outbound traffic at the instance level.
Network Access Control List(NACL):
It acts as a firewall for the subnets,
controlling inbound and outbound traffic at the subnet level.
12 What are the advantages of AWS IAM?
AWS IAM allows an administrator to
provide multiple users and groups with granular access.
It further gives federated access, which
allows to grant applications and users access to resources without having to create IAM roles. 13 What is DDoS attack, and what services can minimize them?
DDoS is cyber attack in which in which
the perpetrator accesss a website and creates multiple sessions so tthatt the other legitimate users cannot access he service.
A VGW is a virtual appliance that provides connectivity between your AWS VPC to your on-premise network.
Internet Gateway: A IGW is a horizontally scalable redundant and highly available gateway that enables communication between your VPC and the internet. 15 What is Amazon DynamoDB?
A fully managed, serverless, key-value,
No-SQL database service.
The service has many essential features
such as built in security, in-memory caching, continuous backups, data export tools and automated multi-region replication.
Extensively supports internet-scale
applications that require high concurrency and connections for multiple users with millions per seconds. Thank You
