Deployment and Automation Flashcards
Content Delivery Network (CDN) that allows you to store (Cache) your content at “edge locations” located around the world. Allows customers to access content more quickly and provides security against DDoS attacks:
AWS Global Accelerator
Amazon CloudFront
Amazon CloudFormation
AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK)
Amazon CloudFront
Content Delivery Network (CDN) that allows you to store (Cache) your content at “edge locations” located around the world
Allows customers to access content more quickly and provides security against DDoS attacks
Can be used for data, videos, applications, and API’s
–EC2 instances, S3 bucket
CloudFront reduces latency for global users
Define DDoS
Distributed Denial of Service
CloudFront Origins
CloudFront Origins
Where source content is located
Example: Source Content is located in Australia BUT the data is cached in an Edge Location in NY so NY users connect to Edge Location for faster access/reduced latency
Routes connections to application endpoints (EC2/ELB) in multiple regions using AWS global networks and improves the availability and performance of applications with local or global users:
AWS Global Accelerator
Amazon CloudFront
Amazon CloudFormation
AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK)
AWS Global Accelerator
Routes connections to application endpoints (EC2/ELB) in multiple regions
Improves the availability and performance of applications with local or global users
Uses the AWS global networks to optimize the path from users to applications, improving the performance of TCP and UDP traffic
When user connects to Edge Location everything is going over AWS Global Network INSTEAD OF the internet
Example:
User connects to Edge location—>Edge Location talks to Global Accelerator—>Global Accelerator prioritizes the traffic and sends user to the closest application location via AWS Global Network
If the connection to the closest location fails it will automatically rout the user to a different location
Global Accelerator VS CloudFront
Both use AWS global network and edge locations
CloudFront improves performance for CACHEABLE content and dynamic content
Global Accelerator
- -improves performance for a wide range of applications over TCP and UDP
- -Proxies connections to applications in one or more AWS regions (rather than caching content into an Edge Location)
- -Provides failover between AWS Regions
Allows you to deploy infrastructure on AWS using code that is written in a Template File and creates a stack based on the template:
AWS Global Accelerator
Amazon CloudFront
Amazon CloudFormation
AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK)
AWS CloudFormation
Allows you to deploy infrastructure on AWS using code that is written in a Template File
Deployment can be automated based on what is included in the Template File
- -Infrastructure is provisioned consistently, with fewer mistakes (less human error)
- -Less time and effort than configuring resources manually
- -Free to use, only charged for provisioned resources
- -Template is a YAML or JSON template used to describe the end-state of the infrastructure you are either provisioning or changing
Creates a Stack
- -Stack is a set of resources created based on the template
- -Can easily delete the entire stack as well
- –If you see ‘stack’ in the question the answer is likely cloud formation)
Give you a framework for defining your cloud application resources using familiar programming languages and uses AWS CloudFormation to deploy resources:
AWS Global Accelerator
Amazon CloudFront
Amazon CloudWatch
AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK)
AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK)
Give you a framework for defining your cloud application resources using familiar programming languages
Uses AWS CloudFormation to deploy resources
- –Preconfigures cloud resources with proven defaults using constructs
- –Enables you to model application infrastructure using TypeScript, Python, Java, and .NET
- –Use existing Integrated Development Environments (IDE), testing tools, and workflow patterns
- –Download pre-configured application components—>Model infrastructure using a programming language—>Deploy w/ CloudFormation
Managed service for web applications on Amazon EC2 instances and Docker containers:
Amazon Beanstalk
Amazon CloudFront
Amazon CloudWatch
AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK)
AWS Elastic Beanstalk
PaaS Solution (Platform as a Service)
- -Platform is provisioned and managed for you
- -You can deploy code onto the platform
Managed service for WEB APPLICATIONS on Amazon EC2 instances and Docker containers
Developer just loads their code (zipfile) into AWS Elastic Beanstalk
- -Beanstalk deploys an environment that can include Auto Scaling, Elastic Load Balancing (ELB), and databases
- -Everything w/in the ENVIRONMENT is managed by Elastic Beanstalk
Allows full control of the underlying resources
Code is deployed using a ZIP file, WAR file, or Git repository
Continuous Integration VS Continuous Delivery
Continuous Integration
AWS CodeCommit
- -place to put your code (repository) and then collaborate w/ other developers
- -Similar to GitHub
AWS CodeBuild
- -Build servers build and test code and returns results to the user
- -Similar to Jenkins
Continuous Delivery
- -Similar to Continuous Integration
- –EXCEPT once code is successfully tested it is passed to CodeDeploy
- -CodeDeploy automatically deploys the code
- -Similar to Ansible
AWS Code Pipeline connects which three activities:
Connects AWS CodeCommit—>AWS CodeBuild—>AS CodeDeploy
A cloud‑based development servicethat provides the tools you need to quickly develop, build, and deploy applications on AWS:
AWS X-ray
AWS OpsWorks
AWS Code Pipeline
