AWS Bootcamp

Question 1

A web service interface that allows users to create and configure compute machines in the cloud. It offers scalable compute machines with minimal configuration and reduces the overall time to boot new servers.

Answer 1

Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)

Question 2

Allows you to work with Docker-enabled applications. We don’t need to deal with the installation or configuration of prerequisite software to run on the cluster. ECS runs on Amazon EC2 clusters, so it can scale seamlessly.

Answer 2

EC2 Container Service (ECS)

Question 3

Is used to launch virtual private servers. It offers low-cost computing servers that can be utilized by small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs)

Answer 3

Lightsail

Question 4

Used for deploying and handling applications without worrying about the infrastructure it is going to run. We simply upload the application’s deployable file and it automatically handles capacity provisioning, load balancing, auto-scaling, and application health monitoring.

Answer 4

Elastic Beanstalk

Question 5

A serverless computing service where we don’t need to manage servers and can focus on business logic. Its code will be executed based on requests and it can scale automatically.

Answer 5

Lambda

Question 6

Allows us to execute multiple jobs automatically. It can execute applications and container images on EC2 instances to accomplish certain tasks

Answer 6

Batch

Question 7

An object-based storage service over the web. We can store any amount of data and it can be retrieved from anywhere over HTTP. We can also host a static HTML website on S3

Answer 7

Simple Storage Service

Question 8

A scalable file storage system that can be used with EC2 instances. It can be automatically scaled up and down based on files being added or removed. It can also be mounted on an external server residing outside the Amazon ecosystem

Answer 8

Elastic File System (EFS)

Question 9

An interface that helps to connect an on-premise storage infrastructure with an AWS storage infrastructure. It offers multiple storage solution types, including file gateway, volume-based, and tape-based types

Answer 9

Storage Gateway

Question 10

A cloud relational database offered by Amazon that makes it easy to configure and provides scalability. AWS RDS offers a wide range of databases to choose from, including Amazon Aurora, MySQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, Microsoft SQL Server, and Oracle. Amazon also provides a database migration service that can be used by consumers to migrate on-premise or external databases to the Amazon Cloud

Answer 10

Relational Database service

Question 11

A fully managed NoSQL service that provides high performance and scalability. It handles databases in a distributed manner so that consumers do not have to deal with the administration of the database. Consumers will be directly dealing with tables with unlimited storage and they can store and retrieve data

Answer 11

DynamoDB

Question 12

Provides a data caching service that can be an in-memory data store that improves application performance. It offers two open-source in-memory data stores, Redis and Memcached. The user can configure clusters of caching servers that can automatically handle failover

Answer 12

ElastiCache

Question 13

A fully managed data warehouse service provided by Amazon. It allows us to connect via SQL-based clients and business intelligence tools and is focused on analytics. It also offers fast query execution over a large set of datasets.

Answer 13

Redshift

Question 14

Allows us to create private and public networks where we can create different Amazon services. Those services will run under our virtual network in the same way as those running on on-premise data centers. We have the authority to configure the IP address range, subnets, network gateways, and security layers

Answer 14

Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)

Question 15

A global CDN that helps to cache data over edge locations and provide data to the requester faster. The CDN helps to minimize cost and deliver content with low latency.

Answer 15

CloudFront

Question 16

A dedicated network service where a consumer can connect an on-premise data center directly to the Amazon network. This helps to reduce the time lag for data transmission and we can configure the connections to increase capacity.

Answer 16

Direct Connect

Question 17

A Domain Name System (DNS) where we can route our request to AWS infrastructures, such as EC2, RDS, or other services. It also has the capability to route to non-AWS infrastructures. It provides scalability and high availability for the Domain Name System service, so users can rely on it. It is IPv6 compliant

Answer 17

Route 53

Question 18

A service that exposes the front entry point (URL) for an application. It helps to build, monitor, and secure APIs, and can scale at any level. We can redirect the API calls to either AWS Lambda, web applications running on EC2, or any other servers.

Answer 18

API Gateway

Question 19

Allows us to monitor the progress of an application’s migration within AWS resources and other partnering software tools. This makes it easier for us to get a high level of understanding of the migration’s progress.

Answer 19

AWS Migration Hub

Question 20

An intelligent service that collects and summarizes the usage of applications and their dependent services running on on-premise servers. This service can be where a user wants to migrate a system and wants to collect information about the on-premise server and find out about the dependent applications. It stores the collected data in its database, which will be in an encrypted format. Users can then export the data in CSV or XML format

Answer 20

Application Discovery Service
