Q

When updating an AMI, does it automatically update all other AMIs?

A

NO. AMIs are immutable, which means that once an AMI is created, its contents and configuration cannot be directly modified or updated. An AMI is a snapshot of the state of an instance at a specific point in time.

Q

What is the stopping and stopped state of a lifecycle instance?

A

Similar to when you shut down your laptop. You can stop an instance if you have an EBS volume as its root device (as data will be lost otherwise) when you stop and start it can be placed on a new underlying physical server.
When you put the instance into stop-hibernate, it saves the last information or content into memory so the process starts faster

Q

What’s the difference between VMs and Containers?

A
  1. Containers share the same operating system and kernel as the host that they exist on. But VMs contain their own operating system, in which each must maintain a copy of, resulting in wasted resources.
  2. They are quicker and more lightweight, meaning a quicker spinup
  3. containers provide speed but VMs provide full strength of an operating system and more resources such as package instillation and dedicated kernel

Private: resources that wont be connected over the internet

79
Q

How should you create high availability with a VPC?

A

create at least two subnets configured in two AZs

80
Q

What are reserved IPs

A

For AWS to configure your VPC appropriately, AWS reserves five IP addresses in each subnet. These IP addresses are used for routing, Domain Name System (DNS), and network management.

81
Q

What would be recommended for someone new to AWS, designing their network?

A

Create a VPC with a /16 IP range and a subnet range of /24 so you have a large amount of IP addresses to work with at both VPC and subnet level

82
Q

What is an internet gateway?

A

the gateway connects your VPC to the internet, which you connect after you have created it making it more available and tolerant unlike a modem

83
Q

What is a Virtual Private Gateway?

A

connects your VPC to another private network, it acts as anchor on the AWS side of the connection, which you then connect your customer gateway device to the other private network.

84
Q

What is a customer gateway device?

A

a physical device or software application on your side of the connection which helps create an encrypted VPN connection between the two sides

85
Q

What is Direct Connect?

A

A way to establish a physical connection between your on-prem data centre and your amazon VPC. Your internal network is linked to AWS Direct Connect location over a standard ethernet cable.

86
Q

When you create a VPC what does AWS create (Routing)

A

Main Route table

87
Q

What is a route table?

A

A set of rules which directs traffic

88
Q

What is the default setting for an AWS route table

A

main route table is to allow traffic between all subnets in the local network

89
Q

What five rules apply to the main route table

A
  1. You can not delete the main route table
  2. you cannot set a gateway route table as a main route table
  3. you can replace it with a custom subnet route table
  4. you can add, remove, and modify routes within the main route table
  5. You can explicitly associate a subnet with the main route table
90
Q

If a customer wants traffic to access outside of the VPC, what could they do?

A

You can create different subnets for various resources and create different routes for them

91
Q

How can you protect your VPC with route tables?

A

By associating each new subnet with a custom route table and leaving the main route table in its original default state

92
Q

What is a Network Access Control List?

A

lets you control what traffic you either let in or out through setting up rules

93
Q

What level does Security Groups cover?

A

EC2

94
Q

What does the default network ACL allow to do traffic wise?

A

allow all traffic in and out of the subnet. To allow data to roam freely

95
Q

When might you want to restrict data at the subnet level?

A

If you have a web app, you might restrict your network to allow HTTPS traffic and Remote Desktop Protocol traffic to your web servers

96
Q

What does stateless mean in networking?

A

When the system treats each request as an independent action without maintaining any info or context about previous interactions (only bases it off the data in the request rather then other data from previous data)

97
Q

What port does HTTPS use to initiate a connection?

A

433

98
Q

What do you have to do when setting up a Network ACL?

A

include the inbound and outbound ports used for the protocol, as id you don’t include the outbound range the traffic will enter the subnet but not leave

99
Q

Whats the default configuration for a security group?

A

blocks all inbound traffic and allows all outbound traffic

100
Q

Security groups can be used in the same way as to subnets in segregating traffic (True or False)

A

True. A common design is to organise resources into different groups and create security groups for each to control network communication between them

101
Q

What does VLAN stand for?

A

Virtual Local Area Network

102
Q

How many internet gateways can be connected to a VPC?

A

1

103
Q

A network ACL filters traffic at the Amazon EC2 instance level? (True or False)

A

False. A network ACL secures subnets. A security group is responsible for securing EC2 instances

104
Q

What four things should you take into account when picking a Region?

A
  1. Latency
  2. Price
  3. Service Availability
  4. Data Compliance
105
