AWS CCP - Services Flashcards
What is Redshift
This is a cloud-based, big data warehouse solution offered by Amazon.
The platform provides a storage system that lets companies store petabytes of data in easy-to-access “clusters” that can be queried in parallel.
What is Athena
This is an interactive query service that makes it easy to analyze data in Amazon S3 using standard SQL.
Athena is serverless and easy to use. Simply point to your data in Amazon S3, define the schema, and start querying using standard SQL
What is Glue
AWS Glue is a serverless data integration service that makes it easy to discover, prepare, and combine data for analytics, machine learning, and application development.
AWS Glue crawlers help discover and register the schema for datasets in the AWS Glue Data Catalog.
What is Kinesis
This service makes it easy to collect, process, and analyze real-time, streaming data in real-time.
What is Elastic MapReduce (EMR)
This is the industry-leading cloud big data platform for processing vast amounts of data using open source tools such as Apache Spark, Apache Hive, Apache HBase, Apache Flink, Apache Hudi, and Presto.
This makes it easy to set up, operate, and scale your big data environments by automating time-consuming tasks like provisioning capacity and tuning clusters.
MapReduce facilitates concurrent processing by splitting petabytes of data into smaller chunks, and processing them in parallel
What is the Data Pipeline Service?
This is a service that you can use to automate the movement and transformation of data.
You can define data-driven workflows so that tasks can be dependent on the successful completion of previous tasks.
This service makes it easy for you to design extract-transform-load (ETL) activities using structured and unstructured data, both on-premises and in the cloud, based on your business logic.
What is Aurora
Aurora is a relational database compatible with MySQL and PostgreSQL that was created by AWS.
What is DynamoDB
DynamoDB is a fully managed NoSQL key-value and document database
What is DocumentDB
DocumentDB is a fully managed document database that supports MongoDB.
What is ElastiCache
ElastiCache is a fully managed inmemory datastore compatible with Redis or Memcached.
What is Neptune
This is a fast, reliable, fully-managed graph database service that makes it easy to build and run applications that work with highly connected datasets.
It is highly available, with read-replicas, point-in-time recovery, continuous backup to Amazon S3, and replication across Availability Zones.
What is the AWS Database Migration Service? (DMS)
This service helps you migrate databases to AWS quickly and securely. The source database remains fully operational during the migration, minimizing downtime to applications that rely on the database.
The migration service supports homogeneous migrations such as Oracle to Oracle, as well as heterogeneous migrations between different database platforms, such as Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server to Amazon Aurora.
It works for databases on-premise, in Amazon EC2, or on Amazon RDS.
What is Server Migration Service (SMS)
This service allows you to migrate on-premises servers to AWS.
You can migrate your applications from physical infrastructure, VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (AmazonEC2), Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC), and other clouds to AWS.
What is the Amazon Snow Family
This Family of devices allows you to transfer large amounts of on-premises data to AWS using a physical device.
What is DataSync
This allows for online data transfer from on-premises to AWS storage services like S3 or EFS.
It automates both the management of data transfer processes and the infrastructure required for high-performance, secure data transfer.
It optimizes the use of network bandwidth and automatically recovers from network connectivity failures.
What is Lightsail
This service allows you to quickly launch a Virtual Private Server (VPS) with all the resources you need for small projects.
What are Outposts?
These Rack servers allow you to run cloud services in your internal data center.
What is Batch
This enables developers, scientists, and engineers to easily and efficiently run hundreds of thousands of batch computing jobs on AWS.
AWS Batch dynamically provisions the optimal quantity and type of compute resources (e.g., CPU or memory optimized instances) based on the volume and specific resource requirements of the batch jobs submitted.
AWS Batch plans, schedules, and executes your batch computing workloads across the full range of AWS compute services and features, such as AWS Fargate, Amazon EC2, and Spot Instances.
What is Global Accelerator
Global Accelerator sends your users through the AWS global network when accessing your content - speeding up delivery.
What is S3 Transfer Acceleration
This is a bucket-level feature that enables fast, easy, and secure transfers of files over long distances between your client and an S3 bucket.
It takes advantage of the globally distributed edge locations in Amazon CloudFront. As the data arrives at an edge location, the data is routed to Amazon S3 over an optimized network path.
What is Storage Gateway
This is a set of hybrid cloud services that give you on-premises access to virtually unlimited cloud storage
What is Direct Connect
This is a dedicated physical network connection from your on-premises data center to AWS.
It can be used instead of a standard VPN.
What is OpsWorks
This lets you use Chef and Puppet to automate how servers are configured, deployed, and managed across your Amazon EC2 instances or on-premises compute environments
You can model your application as a stack containing different layers, such as load balancing, database, and application server. Within each layer, you can provision Amazon EC2 instances, enable automatic scaling, and configure your instances with Chef recipes using Chef Solo.
This allows you to automate tasks such as installing packages and programming languages or frameworks, configuring software, and more.
