Q

Amazon Machine Images (AMI) are organized into 4 collections

A
  1. The Quick Start (the available linux distributions you’ll find here are long term support (LTS) releases))
  2. Any Custom AMI
  3. AWS Marketplace (software store managed by Amazon where Vendors make their products available.
  4. Community AMI

**You can create your own AMIs from a snapshot based on EBS volume of an EC2 instance.

Q

EC2 Instance Types determine the compute power of your instance and are divided into type families, each with their own focus on a functional niche. What are EC2 Instance Type Families

A
  1. General Purpose (A1, T3, T2, M5, M5a, M4, T3a)
  2. Compute Optimized (C5, C5n, C4)
  3. Memory Optimized (R5, R5a, R4 X1 High Memory z1d)
  4. Accelerated Computing (P3, P2, G3, F1)
  5. Storage Optimized (H1, I3, D2)

Q

What does Elastic Block Store (EBS) Offer

A

SERVER STORAGE: The physical drive where an EBS volume actually exists.

  1. The EBS volumes will survive shutdowns and system crashes.
  2. EBS volumes can be encrypted
  3. EBS volumes can be moved around, mounted on other instances and converted to AMIs.

Q

Instance type compatible with this can enjoy the benefits of having their data on physical drives attached directly to the physical instance server. Disadvantages are ephemeral data, no encryption, and lack of flexability. Advantages are faster data reads and writes.

Q

EC2 Pricing that’s best for workloads that need to run for a limited time without interruption. Most expensive model because you pay for every hour the instance is running

Q

For workloads that don’t need to run constantly and can survive upexpected shutdowns. Down side is that the capacity can on two minutes notice be reclaimed by shutting down your instance. Cheapest option. Perfect for certain classes of containerized big data workloads or test and deployment environments.

Q

AWS will handle most of your underlying infrastructure. One example is Relational Database Service (RDS). Handles only one part of your deployment for you.

Q

The whole stack is taken care of behind the scenes

A

Managed Deployment

18
Q

What are the Managed Deployment Services

A

Amazon Lightsail and AWS Elastic Beanstalk

19
Q

Blueprint that when launched will automatically provision all the compute, storage, database and network resource needed to make your deployment work. You only need o set the price and optional script. Flat rate pricing

A

Lightsail

20
Q

This manages your underlying infrastructure of your application. All that you need to do is define the application platform and upload your code. Your application will scale its resources according to demand. Cost generated is based on resources consumed

A

Elastic Beanstalk

21
Q

Difference between a LAMP stack and MEAN stack

A

LAMP - web server built on Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP.

MEAN-JavaScript stack for dynamic websites consisting of MongoDB, Express.js, AngularJS and Node.js.

22
Q

Require their own OS Kernal and device drives

A

Virtual Server

23
Q

Allows individual containers to share the Linux kernal with the physical host.

A

Container Technologies

24
Q

Fast to load and execute and lets you pack many more container workloads on a single hardware platform

A

Docker containers

25
Q

Have a resource footprint smaller than the one left by containers. Do not require their own OS kernal, but tend to spring into action, preform some task and then just as quickly die within minutes if not seconds.

A

Serverless computing model

26
Q

Event driven serverless platform. Define your function, upload your code but the functions are only triggered by a present event. Will scale automatically to meet the demand and will time out at 15 minutes.

A

Lambda

27
Q

Instances are defined by

A

your choice of AMI, instance type, storage volumes and pricing model.

28
Q

Can be encrypted and are more like physical hard drives in the flexibility of their usage. Can be converted to IAMs and will survive an instance shutdown.

A

EBS Storage Volume

29
Q

Provide fast read and writes and can be more secure. Located on the same physical server hosting your instances and will deliver faster performance

A

Instance Storage Volumes

30
Q

All these services are designed to provide abstract compute services that simplify, automate and reduce the cost of computer operations.

A

Lightsail, Elastic Beanstalk, Elastic Container Service, Elastic Container Service for Kubernates and Lambda

31
Q

What element are required to provision an EC2 instance

A

base OS (AMI), application stack and instance type for its hardware profile and either an EBS or an instance volume for storage

32
Q

Share the OS kernal and device drives with their host and share common software layers with each other to produce fast and lightweight applications

A

Containers

Docker is an example of a container

33
Q

Services focused on simplifying Docker orchestration within the EC2 framework.

A

ECS and EKS

34
Q

Designed to respond to event triggers to launch short lived operations

A

Lambda Function

35
Q

What can be included on an EC2 AMI

A
  • a software application stack

- an operating system

36
Q

What describes an EC2 Dedicated Instance

A

An EC2 instance running on a physical host reserved or the exclusive use of a single AWS Account

37
Q

A virtualized partition of a physical storage drive that’s not directly connected to the EC2 instance it’s associated with.

A

EBS Volume

38
Q

What AWS Services simplify the process of bringing web applications to deployment

A

Elastic Beanstalk

Lightsail

39
Q 
How are these AWS Services Billed:
Lightsail
Elastic Beanstalk
Elastic Compute Clou
Relational Database Service
A

Lightsail - billed at flat rate
Elastic Beanstalk - billed on usage
Elastic Compute Cloud - billed on usage
Relational Database Service- billed on usage

40
Q

What AWS services are designed to deploy Docker containers

A

Elastic Container Service

Elastic Beanstalk
