2 - AWS Global Infrastructure

Question 1

These are physical locations in geographically dispersed parts of the globe. Inside of each of these are multiple Availability Zones (AZs). These AZs house the data centers that actually contain the physical network resources and the massive amounts of data.

Answer 1

Regions

Question 2

These are made up of one or more data centers. These data centers are filled with redundancy at every level, from network connections to physical devices. The data centers are also physically distant from one another in order to help mitigate the effects of localized disasters. They feature incredible high availability (HA) and fault tolerance (FT).

Answer 2

Availability Zones (AZs)

Question 3

This monitors your applications and automatically adjusts capacity to maintain steady, predictable performance at the lowest possible cost. Thanks to this powerful tool, you can enable application scaling for multiple resources across multiple services in minutes. The service provides a simple, powerful user interface that lets you build scaling plans for resources like Amazon EC2 instances.

Answer 3

Auto scaling

Question 4

This automatically distributes incoming application traffic across multiple targets, such as Amazon EC2 instances, containers, and IP addresses. It can handle the varying load of your application traffic in a single Availability Zone or across multiple Availability Zones. This offers three types of load balancers that all feature the high availability, automatic scaling, and robust security necessary to make your applications fault tolerant. These three types are the Application Load Balancer, the Network Load Balancer, and the Classic Load Balancer.

Answer 4

Elastic Load Balancing (ELB)

Question 5

True or False - With AWS Global Infrastructure, you maintain control of where your resources are stored geographically, and this makes it easier for you to comply with regional governance responsibilities.

Answer 5

True

Question 6

True or False - With AWS Global Infrastructure, AWS controls where your resources are stored geographically, and this makes it easier for you to comply with regional governance responsibilities.

Answer 6

False
