Q

data consistency

A

A concept that describes when data is written or updated successfully and all copies of the data are updated in all AWS regions. However, it takes time for the data to propagate to all storage locations. To support varied application requirements, Amazon DynamoDB supports both eventually consistent and strongly consistent reads.

See Also eventual consistency.

See Also eventually consistent read.

See Also strongly consistent read.

Q

datasource

A

Amazon Machine Learning: An object that contains metadata about the input data. Amazon ML reads the input data, computes descriptive statistics on its attributes, and stores the statistics—along with a schema and other information—as part of the datasource object. Amazon ML uses datasources to train and evaluate a machine learning model and generate batch predictions.

Q

dedicated master node

A

Amazon Elasticsearch Service (Amazon ES): An Elasticsearch instance that performs cluster management tasks, but does not hold data or respond to data upload requests. Amazon Elasticsearch Service (Amazon ES) uses dedicated master nodes to increase cluster stability.

See Also data node.

See Also node.

18
Q

Dedicated Reserved Instance

A

An option that you purchase to guarantee that sufficient capacity will be available to launch Dedicated Instances into a VPC.

19
Q

delegation

A

Within a single AWS account: Giving AWS users access to resources in your AWS account.

Between two AWS accounts: Setting up a trust between the account that owns the resource (the trusting account), and the account that contains the users that need to access the resource (the trusted account).

See Also trust policy.

20
Q

A

A link between an origin server (such as an Amazon S3 bucket) and a domain name, which CloudFront automatically assigns. Through this link, CloudFront identifies the object you have stored in your origin server.

31
Q

DKIM

A

DomainKeys Identified Mail. A standard that email senders use to sign their messages. ISPs use those signatures to verify that messages are legitimate. For more information, see http://www.dkim.org.

A

A layered file system template that is the basis of a Docker container. Docker images can comprise specific operating systems or applications.

34
Q

document

A

Amazon CloudSearch: An item that can be returned as a search result. Each document has a collection of fields that contain the data that can be searched or returned. The value of a field can be either a string or a number. Each document must have a unique ID and at least one field.

Amazon CloudSearch: A collection of add and delete document operations. You use the document service API to submit batches to update the data in your search domain.

36
Q

document service API

A

Amazon CloudSearch: The API call that you use to submit document batches to update the data in a search domain.

37
Q

document service endpoint

A

Amazon CloudSearch: The URL that you connect to when sending document updates to an Amazon CloudSearch domain. Each search domain has a unique document service endpoint that remains the same for the life of the domain.

38
Q

domain

A

Amazon Elasticsearch Service (Amazon ES): The hardware, software, and data exposed by Amazon Elasticsearch Service (Amazon ES) endpoints. An Amazon ES domain is a service wrapper around an Elasticsearch cluster. An Amazon ES domain encapsulates the engine instances that process Amazon ES requests, the indexed data that you want to search, snapshots of the domain, access policies, and metadata.

See Also cluster.

See Also Elasticsearch.

39
Q

Domain Name System

A

A service that routes internet traffic to websites by translating friendly domain names like www.example.com into the numeric IP addresses like 192.0.2.1 that computers use to connect to each other.
