What are the AWS Cloud Compute Services?
Elastic Cloud Compute (EC2)
Lambda
Elastic Container Service (ECS)
Lightsail
Which AWS Compute service do you manage the operating system? This service scales vertically with Autoscaling and is used for traditional applications and long running tasks?
EC2
Which compute service enables you to manage the container instance and the containers? This service enables you to manually add container instances or use ECS services & EC2 Autoscaling. It is used for microservices and batch use cases where you need to maintain management.
ECS (EC2 Launch Type)
Which compute service enables you to manage the containers? AWS scales the cluster automatically and is used for microservices and batch use cases.
EC2 (Fargate Launch Type)
Which AWS compute service enables you to manage the code? The service is serverless and automatically scales concurrent executions. It is used for ETL, infrastructure, automation, data validation, and mobile backends.
Lambda
Which compute choice operates with EC2? The consumer manages functions, application, runtime, and guest OS. AWS manages the Hypervisor and physical hardware.
Infrastructure as a System (IaaS)
Which compute choice operates with ECS? The consumer manages functions, applications, and runtime. AWS manages container engine, guest OS & physical hardware.
Container as a Service (CaaS)
Which compute choice operate with Lambda? The consumer manages the functions. AWS manages application, runtime, container engine, guest OS & physical hardware.
Function as a System (FaaS)
Which AWS service is great for users who do not have a deep AWS technical expertise and makes it easy to provision compute services?
Amazon LightSail
Which service includes everything you need to launch projects quickly? It provides preconfigured virtual private servers that include everything required to deploy applications or create a database.
Lightsail
Which service allows you to deploy a private server without a lot of technical expertise?
Lightsail
Which service provides serverless computing technology that allows you to run code without provisioning or managing servers?
Lambda
Which compute service executes code only when needed and scales automatically? You pay only for the compute time you consume.
Lambda
Which AWS service has the following benefits:
No servers to manage
Continuous scaling
Sub second metering
Integrates with almost all other AWS services
Lambda
Which AWS service has the following use cases:
Data processing
real-time file processing
real-time stream processing
Build serverless backends for web, mobile, IOT, and 3rd party applications
Lambda
Which AWS compute service provides a highly-scalable, high performance container management service that supports Docker containers?
Elastic Container Storage (ECS)
Which service is launched with ECS that enables you to provision instances and provides you granular control over infrastructure?
EC2
What service is launched with ECS where the control plane asks for resources and is automatically provisioned? This system provides you limited control and the infrastructure is automated.
Amazon Fargate
What data type is supplied by the user at instance launch?
User data
What data type provides data about your instance that you can configure or manage the running instance?
Metadata
Which AMI category is free of charge and generally allows you to select the operating system you want?
Community AMIs
Which AMI category do you pay to use and generally comes packaged with additional licensed software?
AWS Marketplace AMI
Which AMI category do you create yourself?
My AMIs
What service provides the information required to launch an instance?
Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
Which service provides a template for the root volume of the instance containing one or more EBS snapshots or instance-store-backed AMIs?
AMIs
What is an EC2 instance made up of?
Amazon Machine Image (AMI) + Instance type
Which web service in the AWS Compute suite of products provides secure, resizable compute capacity in the cloud?
EC2
Which EC2 attribute enables you to increase or decrease capacity within minutes and commission one to thousands of instances simultaneously?
Elastic Web-scale computing
Which EC2 attribute enables you to have complete control root access to each instance and can stop and start instances without losing data and using web service APIs?
Completely Controlled
Which EC2 attribute allows you to choose multiple instance types, operating systems, and software packages as well as instances with varying memory, CPU, and storage configurations?
