AWS Main Services Flashcards
AWS Lambda
AWS Lambda lets you run code without provisioning or managing servers, you pay only for the compute time you consume - and there is no charge when your code is not running
AWS S3
AWS S3 is an object storage service which means you can store and protect any ammount of data for a range of use cases such as websites, mobile applications and files. AWS S3 is designed for 99.999999999 (11 9’s) of durability
AWS Athena
Athena is a serverless interactive query service used to analyze data in S3 using SQL
AWS EMR
Elastic Map Reduce provides a managed Hadoop framework to process huge data sets across dynamically scalable EC2 instances
AWS Kinesis
Kinesis allows you to collect, process, and analyze real time streaming data. You can ingest real-time data such as video, audio and IoT telemetry
AWS Redshift
Redshift is a fast scalable data warehouse that makes it simple and cost effective to analyse data across your data warehouse and data lake. Redshift is 10x faster by using machine learning, massively parallel query execution and columnar storage on high-performance disk
AWS Quicksight
Quicksight is a fast, cloud powered BI tool
AWS Data Pipeline
AWS data pipeline is a web service that helps you reliably process and move data between different AWS compute and storage services, as well as on-premise at specified intervals
AWS Glue
AWS Glue is a fully managed ETL service
AWS Lake Formation
AWS Lake Formation makes it easy to set up a secure data lake in days. A data lake is a centralized, curated, and secured repository that stores all your data in raw form and ready for analysis
AWS SNS

AWS EC2
AWS EC2 is a web service that provides secure, scalable compute capacity in the cloud. It provides you with complete control over your computing resources and lets you run on AWS’s proven computing environment
EC2 On-Demand Instances
With On-demand EC2 Instances, you pay for compute power by the hour, with no long term commitments. You can increase or decrease your compute capacity depending on the demands of your application and only pay the specified hourly rate for the instance you use
EC2 Reserved Instances
EC2 Reserved Instances provide a discount (of up to 75%) vs On-Demand, but are reserved for longer periods of time. Convertible Reserved Instances allow the instance to change families, OS, types etc
EC2 Spot Instances
EC2 Spot Instances allow you to bid on space AWS EC2 computing capacity.
AWS EC2 Auto-Scaling
AWS EC2 Auto-Scaling allows you to add or remove EC2 instances according to conditions you define. Dynamic scaling responds to changing demand and predictive scaling automatically scheduled the right number of EC2 instances based on predicted demand. The can both be used together
