in-place deployment

Answer 12

AWS CodeDeploy: A deployment method in which the application on each instance in the deployment group is stopped, the latest application revision is installed, and the new version of the application is started and validated. You can choose to use a load balancer so each instance is deregistered during its deployment and then restored to service after the deployment is complete.

Question 13

index

Answer 13

See search index.

Question 14

index field

Answer 14

A name–value pair that is included in an Amazon CloudSearch domain’s index. An index field can contain text or numeric data, dates, or a location.

Question 15

indexing options

Question 16

inline policy

Answer 16

An IAM policy that is embedded in a single IAM user, group, or role.

Question 17

input data

Answer 17

Amazon Machine Learning: The observations that you provide to Amazon Machine Learning to train and evaluate a machine learning model and generate predictions.

Question 18

instance

Answer 18

A copy of an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) running as a virtual server in the AWS cloud.

Question 19

instance family

Answer 19

A general instance type grouping using either storage or CPU capacity.

Question 20

instance group

Answer 20

A Hadoop cluster contains one master instance group that contains one master node, a core instance group containing one or more core node and an optional task node instance group, which can contain any number of task nodes.

Question 21

instance profile

Answer 21

A container that passes IAM role information to an EC2 instance at launch.

Question 22

instance store

Answer 22

Disk storage that is physically attached to the host computer for an EC2 instance, and therefore has the same lifespan as the instance. When the instance is terminated, you lose any data in the instance store.

Question 23

instance store-backed AMI

Answer 23

A type of Amazon Machine Image (AMI) whose instances use an instance store volume as the root device. Compare this with instances launched from Amazon EBS-backed AMIs, which use an Amazon EBS volume as the root device.

Question 24

instance type

Answer 24

A specification that defines the memory, CPU, storage capacity, and usage cost for an instance. Some instance types are designed for standard applications, whereas others are designed for CPU-intensive, memory-intensive applications, and so on.

Question 25

internet gateway

Answer 25

Connects a network to the internet. You can route traffic for IP addresses outside your VPC to the internet gateway.

Question 26

internet service provider

Answer 26

(ISP)

A company that provides subscribers with access to the internet. Many ISPs are also mailbox providers. Mailbox providers are sometimes referred to as ISPs, even if they only provide mailbox services.

Question 27

intrinsic function

Answer 27

A special action in a AWS CloudFormation template that assigns values to properties not available until runtime. These functions follow the format Fn::Attribute, such as Fn::GetAtt. Arguments for intrinsic functions can be parameters, pseudo parameters, or the output of other intrinsic functions.

Question 28

IP address

Answer 28

A numerical address (for example, 192.0.2.44) that networked devices use to communicate with one another using the Internet Protocol (IP). All EC2 instances are assigned two IP addresses at launch, which are directly mapped to each other through network address translation (NAT): a private IP address (following RFC 1918) and a public IP address. Instances launched in a VPC are assigned only a private IP address. Instances launched in your default VPC are assigned both a private IP address and a public IP address.

Question 29

IP match condition

Answer 29

AWS WAF: An attribute that specifies the IP addresses or IP address ranges that web requests originate from. Based on the specified IP addresses, you can configure AWS WAF to allow or block web requests to AWS resources such as Amazon CloudFront distributions.

Question 30

ISP

Answer 30

See internet service provider.

Question 31

issuer

Answer 31

The person who writes a policy to grant permissions to a resource. The issuer (by definition) is always the resource owner. AWS does not permit Amazon SQS users to create policies for resources they don’t own. If John is the resource owner, AWS authenticates John’s identity when he submits the policy he’s written to grant permissions for that resource.

Question 32

item

Answer 32

A group of attributes that is uniquely identifiable among all of the other items. Items in Amazon DynamoDB are similar in many ways to rows, records, or tuples in other database systems.
