Compute Services Flashcards

Question

Describe the Fargate launch type.

Answer 1

All you have to do is package your application in containers, specify the CPU and memory requirements, define networking and IAM policies, and launch the application.

Answer 2

Allows you to have server-level, more granular control over the infrastructure that runs your container applications. You can use Amazon ECS to manage a cluster of servers and schedule placement of containers on the servers. Amazon ECS keeps track of all the CPU, memory and other resources in your cluster, and also finds the best server for a container to run on based on your specified resource requirements.

Answer 3

You are responsible for provisioning, patching, and scaling clusters of servers. You can decide which type of server to use, which applications and how many containers to run in a cluster to optimize utilization, and when you should add or remove servers from a cluster. EC2 launch type gives you more control of your server clusters and provides a broader range of customization options, which might be required to support some specific applications or possible compliance and government requirements.

Answer 4

Is a compute service that is used to quickly launch preconfigured applications for small projects. Is designed to be the easiest way to launch and manage a virtual private server with AWS. Lightsail plans include everything you need to jumpstart your project – a VM, SSD-based storage, data transfer, DNS management, and a static IP address – for a low, predictable price.

Answer 5

Supports a hybrid deployment model. Bring native AWS services, infrastructure, and operating models to virtually any data center, co-location space, or on-premises facility. You can use the same APIs, the same tools, the same hardware, and the same functionality across on-premises and the cloud to deliver a truly consistent hybrid experience. Can be used to support workloads that need to remain on-premises due to low latency or local data processing needs.

Answer 6

VMware Cloud: Allows you to use the same VMware control plane and APIs you use to run your infrastructure. AWS-native variant: Allows you to use the same exact APIs and control plane you use to run in the AWS Cloud, but on-premises.

Answer 7

Is fully managed, maintained, and supported by AWS to deliver access to the latest AWS services.

Answer 8

You simply log into the AWS Management Console to order your Outposts servers, choosing from a wide range of compute and storage options. You can order one or more servers, or quarter, half, and full rack units.

Answer 9

Is a compute service that is used to process large workloads in smaller batches Enables developers, scientists, and engineers to easily and efficiently run hundreds of thousands of batch computing jobs on AWS. Dynamically provisions the optimal quantity and type of compute resources (such as CPU or memory-optimized instances) based on the volume and specific resource requirements of the batch jobs submitted.

Answer 10

There is no need to install and manage batch computing software or server clusters that you use to run your jobs, allowing you to focus on analyzing results and solving problems. Plans, schedules, and runs your batch computing workloads across the full range of AWS compute services and features, such as Amazon EC2 and Spot Instances.

Answer 11

Lambda Lambda allows you to run a variable and intermittent code without paying for compute time when your code isn't running. https://aws.amazon.com/lambda/

Answer 12

Elastic Load Balancing The company can utilize Elastic Load Balancing to evenly distribute incoming traffic across all their EC2 instances.

Answer 13

DynamoDB: Serverless is a way to build and run applications without having to manage infrastructure. DynamoDB is considered serverless. Fargate: Serverless is a way to build and run applications without having to manage infrastructure. Fargate is considered serverless. Lambda: Serverless is a way to build and run applications without having to manage infrastructure. Lambda is considered serverless. S3: Serverless is a way to build and run applications without having to manage infrastructure. S3 is considered serverless.

Answer 14

Configure the load balancer to serve traffic to multiple Availability Zones. You would set up the load balancer to deliver traffic across multiple Availability Zones.

Answer 15

AWS Auto Scaling: will ensure you have the optimal number of EC2 instances to handle your application's load, based on rules you specify. The other services mentioned can help distribute load amongst existing resources, but they do not have the ability by themselves to create new resources.

Answer 16

Documents: S3 is object storage suitable for the storage of "flat" files like documents, photos, etc. Use cases that require very atomic or consistent reading and writing, such as databases and operating systems, are more suited to EBS (Elastic Block Store) storage. Pictures: S3 is object storage suitable for the storage of "flat" files like documents, photos, etc. Use cases that require very atomic or consistent reading and writing, such as databases and operating systems, are more suited to EBS (Elastic Block Store) storage.

Answer 17

Other private subnets in the same VPC: By default, a private subnet can only communicate with other subnets in the same VPC, be they private or public. In order to communicate to the internet, a NAT gateway and internet gateway are required, and to enable communication between subnets in different VPCs, the VPCs must first be peered. Public subnets in the same VPC: By default, a private subnet can only communicate with other subnets in the same VPC, be they private or public.

Answer 18

Bucket policies: allow you to control access to entire buckets, whereas access control lists let you control access to individual objects within an S3 bucket.

Answer 19

By default, all subnets within a VPC can communicate with each other, without needing any other resources or configuration.
