The on-demand delivery of IT resource over the internet with pay-as-you-go pricing
Cloud Computing
What type of deployment is this?
- Run all parts of the application in the cloud.
- Migrate existing applications to the cloud.
- Design and build new applications in the cloud.
Cloud Base Deployment
What type of deployment is this?
- Deploy resources by using virtualization and resource management tools.
- Increase resource utilization by using application management and virtualization technologies.
On-Premises Deployment (private cloud)
What type of deployment is this?
- Connect cloud-based resources to on-premises infrastructure.
- Integrate cloud-based resources with legacy IT applications
Hybrid Deployment
What are the 3 Types of Deployments?
Cloud Base Deployment
On-Premises Deployment (private cloud)
Hybrid Deployment
What are the 6 Benefits of Cloud Computing?
Trade upfront expense for variable expense
Stop spending money to run/maintain data centers
Stop guessing capacity
Benefit from massive economies of scale
Increased Speed/Agility

What is Amazon EC2?
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud
What are the 5 Instant Types?
General Purpose instances
Compute optimized instances
Memory optimized instances
Accelerated computing instances
Storage optimized instances
Provides a balance of compute, memory, and networking resources. What instance is this?
General Purpose instances
Ideal for compute-bound applications that benefit from high-performance processors. Use for workloads such as web, application, and gaming servers.What instance is this?
Compute optimized instances
Designed to deliver fast performance for workloads that process large datasets in memory. What instance is this?
Memory optimized instances
Uses hardware accelerators, or coprocessors, to perform some functions more efficiently than is possible in software running on CPUs. What instance is this?
Accelerated computing instances
Designed for workloads that require high, sequential read and write access to large datasets on local storage. Designed to deliver tens of thousands of low-latency, random IOPS to applications. What instance is this?
Storage optimized instances
In terms of EC2 Pricing, what instances are ideal for short-term, irregular workloads that cannot be interrupted. No upfront costs or minimum contracts apply. The instances run continuously until you stop them, and you pay for only the compute time you use.
On-Demand Instances
In terms of EC2 Pricing, what instances have a billing discount applied to the use of On-Demand Instances in your account.
Reserved Instances
What are the 2 available types of Reserved Instances and how long are their terms?
- Standard Reserved Instances
- Convertible Reserved Instances
You can purchase Standard Reserved and Convertible Reserved Instances for a 1-year or 3-year term.
