Region
- Physical location in the world
- Contains multiple Availability Zones
Availability Zone
- One or more discrete data centers
- Housed in serrate facilities
Fault Tolerance
- Applications operational during component failure
- Built-in redundancy of components
High Availability
- Systems “always” functioning and available
- Downtime is minimized
- Without human interaction
Elasticity/Scalability
Scale computing resources up or down easily
Region
2 or more availability zones
Availability Zone
Collection of data centers in a region
Edge Location
Host a content delivery network to deliver content to the customers
VPC
Virtual Private Cloud
EC2
Elastic Cloud Compute
RDS
Relational Database Service
Multiple VPCs per account?
Yes
Subnets
- Used to divide Amazon VPC
- Allows Amazon VPC to span multiple AZs
Route Tables
Control traffic going out of subnets
IGW - Internet Gateway
Allows access to the Internet from Amazon VPC
NAT Gateway
Allows private subnet resources to access Internet
NACL - Network Access Control Lists
Control access to subnets; stateless
AWS Lambda
Allows you to run code without managing or provisioning servers
AMI - Amazon Machine Image
-The software load that will come with the instance once it’s launched
API
Application Programming Interface
Elastic Beanstalk controls
- Update your application
- Access server log files
- Enable HTTPS on load balancer
ALB - Application Load Balancer
Distributes incoming application traffic across multiple targets, such as EC2 instances, in multiple Availability Zones. This increases the availability of your application. You add one or more listeners to your load balancer.
