Module 12

Question 1

AWS Elastic Beanstalk

Answer 1

Elastic Beanstalk automatically handles the deployment details of capacity provisioning, load balancing, automatic scaling, and application health monitoring of an application. In many ways, using Elastic Beanstalk is like running a macro or a batch file that places a wrapper around an existing application so that it runs smoothly in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud.

Question 2

AWS CloudFormation

Answer 2

This service gives developers and businesses an easy way to create a collection of related AWS resources and provision them in an orderly and predictable fashion. CloudFormation provides a means for combining a stack of AWS services, similar to writing macros or batch files in Linux or Microsoft Windows.

Question 3

Stack

Answer 3

A collection of AWS resources that you can manage as a single unit. You can create, update, or delete a collection of resources by creating, updating, or deleting stacks.
