Question review 2 Flashcards
AWS ____________ is a configuration management service that provides managed instances of Chef and Puppet. Chef and Puppet are automation platforms that allow you to use code to automate the configurations of your servers. ___________ lets you use Chef and Puppet to automate how servers are configured, deployed, and managed across your Amazon EC2 instances or on-premises compute environments.
OpsWorks
AWS ___________ is a fully-managed service that provides you with an interactive browser-based shell and CLI experience. It helps provide secure and auditable instance management without the need to open inbound ports, maintain bastion hosts, and manage SSH keys. _________ helps to enable compliance with corporate policies that require controlled access to instances, increase security and auditability of access to the instances while providing simplicity and cross-platform instance access to end-users.
SSM Session Manager (system Manager section Manager)
AMI
An _____________ provides the information required to launch an instance. You must specify an ______ when you launch an instance. You can launch multiple instances from a single _______ when you need multiple instances with the same configuration.
The ________ must be in the same region as that of the EC2 instance to be launched. If the _______ exists in a different region, you can copy that ______ to the region where you want to launch the EC2 instance. The region of _____ has no bearing on the performance of the EC2 instance.
You can use Amazon __________ to monitor, store, and access your log files from Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances, AWS CloudTrail, Route 53, and other sources such as on-premises servers. ____________ enables you to centralize the logs from all of your systems, applications, and AWS services that you use, in a single, highly scalable service. You can then easily view them, search them for specific error codes or patterns, filter them based on specific fields, or archive them securely for future analysis.
CloudWatch Logs
AWS ___________ is an online tool that provides real-time guidance to help provision your resources following AWS best practices. Whether establishing new workflows, developing applications, or as part of ongoing improvement, recommendations provided by _____________ regularly help keep your solutions provisioned optimally. AWS ___________ analyzes your AWS environment and provides best practice recommendations in five categories: Cost Optimization, Performance, Security, Fault Tolerance, Service Limits.
AWS _____________ checks the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances that were running at any time during the last 14 days and alerts you if the daily CPU utilization was 10% or less and network I/O was 5 MB or less on 4 or more days.
Trusted Advisor
AWS _____________ has an easy-to-use interface that lets you visualize, understand, and manage your AWS costs and usage over time. AWS _____________ includes a default report that helps you visualize the costs and usage associated with your top five cost-accruing AWS services, and gives you a detailed breakdown of all services in the table view. The reports let you adjust the time range to view historical data going back up to twelve months to gain an understanding of your cost trends.
The rightsizing recommendations feature in __________ helps you identify cost-saving opportunities by downsizing or terminating EC2 instances. You can see all of your underutilized EC2 instances across member accounts in a single view to immediately identify how much you can save.
Cost Explorer
______________ automatically distributes incoming application traffic across multiple targets, such as Amazon EC2 instances, containers, and IP addresses. It can handle the varying load of your application traffic in a single Availability Zone or across multiple Availability Zones.
Elastic Load Balancing (ELB)
AWS _____________ gives developers and systems administrators an easy way to create and manage a collection of related AWS resources, provisioning and updating them in an orderly and predictable fashion.
You can use the ____________ sample templates or create your own templates to describe your AWS resources, and any associated dependencies or runtime parameters, required to run your application. This provides a single source of truth for all your resources and helps you to standardize infrastructure components used across your organization, enabling configuration compliance and faster troubleshooting.
CloudFormation
AWS ___________ helps you identify the optimal AWS resource configurations, such as Amazon EC2 instance types, Amazon EBS volume configurations, and AWS Lambda function memory sizes, using machine learning to analyze historical utilization metrics. AWS ____________ delivers recommendations for selected types of EC2 instances, EC2 Auto Scaling groups, EBS volumes, and Lambda functions.
Compute Optimizer
AWS __________ allows you to centralize operational data from multiple AWS services and automate tasks across your AWS resources. You can create logical groups of resources such as applications, different layers of an application stack, or production versus development environments.
Systems Manager
Amazon ___________, is a storage service optimized for infrequently used data, or “cold data. Data at rest stored in ____________ is automatically server-side encrypted using 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES-256) with keys maintained by AWS.
S3 Glacier (S3 Glacier)
AWS ____________ is a hybrid cloud storage service that gives you on-premises access to virtually unlimited cloud storage. All data transferred between the gateway and AWS storage is encrypted using SSL (for all three types of gateways - File, Volume and Tape Gateways).
Storage Gateway
AWS __________ makes it even easier for developers to quickly deploy and manage applications in the AWS Cloud. Developers simply upload their application, and Elastic Beanstalk automatically handles the deployment details of capacity provisioning, load balancing, auto-scaling, and application health monitoring.
Elastic Beanstalk
AWS ___________ provides customers with concierge-like service where the main focus is on helping the customer achieve their outcomes and find success in the cloud. With ___________, you get access to online training with self-paced labs, 24x7 technical support from high-quality engineers, tools and technology to automatically manage the health of your environment, consultative architectural guidance, a designated Technical Account Manager (TAM) to coordinate access to proactive/preventative programs and AWS subject matter experts.
Enterprise Support
____________ replicate data automatically across your choice of AWS Regions and automatically scale capacity to accommodate your workloads. With global tables, your globally distributed applications can access data locally in the selected regions to get single-digit millisecond read and write performance. DynamoDB offers active-active cross-region support that is needed for the company.
