EC2 (Pt. 2) Flashcards
_____ is a web service that provides resizable compute capacity in the cloud.
EC2
T or F EC2 reduces the time required to obtain and boot new server instances to minutes, allowing you to quickly scale capacity, both up and down, as your computing requirements change.
true
T or F With EC2, you only pay for the capacity that you actually use.
True
EC2 provides _______ the tools to build _____ resilient apps and isolate themselves from common _____ scenarios.
developers failure failure
allows you to pay a fixed rate by the hour (or second) with no commitment
EC2 on demand
provides you with a capacity reservation, and offer a significant discount on the hourly charge for an instance. 1 year or 3 year terms.
EC2 Reserved
Enables you to bid whatever price you want for instance capacity providing for even greater savings if your apps have flexible start and end times.
EC2 Spot
Physical Ec2 server dedicated for your use. This can help you reduce costs by allowing you to use your existing server bound software licenses.
