Are designed to be the lowest-cost Amazon S3 storage classes, allowing you to archive large amounts of data at a very low cost. This makes it feasible to retain all the data you want for use cases like data lakes, analytics, IoT, machine learning, compliance, and media asset archiving. You pay only for what you need, with no minimum commitments or up-front fees

Which AWS service should you use if you need to launch a highly scalable MySQL OLTP Online Transaction Processing database?
Amazon Aurora
Is a MySQL and PostgreSQL-compatible relational database built for the cloud that combines the performance and availability of traditional enterprise databases with the simplicity and cost-effectiveness of open source databases
Amazon Aurora
This is a data warehousing solution which is best for OLAP (online analytic processing) workloads and business intelligence (BI) applications which require complex queries against large datasets Which allows you to collect data from many sources to help understand relationships and trends
Amazon Redshift
Scalable, fast, and flexible non-relational database service
Amazon DynamoDB
Lets you deploy and run Memcached or Redis cache server nodes in the cloud
Amazon ElastiCache
A key design principle when running an application in AWS? When you want a design to not depend on each but continue to function.
Loose coupling
This means that IT systems should be designed in a way that reduces interdependencies — a change or a failure in one component should not cascade to other components
Loose coupling
Are related to object-oriented programming and not a key design principle in AWS
Logical coupling and Semantic coupling
