Vocab 3 Flashcards
__________ provides temporary block-level storage for an Amazon EC2 instance. This is 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!!
Instance store
What is a service that provides block-level storage volumes that you can use with Amazon EC2 instances?
If you stop or terminate an Amazon EC2 instance, all the data on the attached EBS volume remains available.
Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS)
What is defined as an incremental backup… meaning that the first backup taken of a volume copies all the data. For subsequent backups, only the blocks of data that have changed since the most recent snapshot are saved?
EBS snapshot
What is a service that provides object-level storage and stores data as objects in buckets.
Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3)
What are the 8 S3 Storage Classes?
1- S3 Standard:
2- S3 standard-infrequent access (S3 standard-IA)
3- S3 one zone-infrequent access (S3 one zone-IA)
4- S3- intelligent tiering
5- S3 glacier instant retrieval
6- S3 glacier flexible retrieval
7- S3 glacier deep archive
8- S3 outposts
What S3 Storage Class is this:
a. Designed for frequently accessed data
b. Stores data in a minimum of three Availability Zones
S3 Standard
What S3 Storage Class is this:
a. Ideal for infrequently accessed data
b. Similar to Amazon S3 Standard but has a lower storage price and higher retrieval price
S3 standard-infrequent access (S3 standard-IA)
What S3 Storage Class is this:
a. Stores data in a single Availability Zone
b. Has a lower storage price than Amazon S3 Standard-IA
S3 one zone-infrequent access (S3 one zone-IA)
What S3 Storage Class is this:
a. Ideal for data with unknown or changing access patterns
b. Requires a small monthly monitoring and automation fee per object
S3- intelligent tiering
What S3 Storage Class is this:
a. Works well for archived data that requires immediate access
b. Can retrieve objects within a few milliseconds
S3 glacier instant retrieval
What S3 Storage Class is this:
a. Low-cost storage designed for data archiving
b. Able to retrieve objects within a few minutes to hours
S3 glacier flexible retrieval
What S3 Storage Class is this:
a. Lowest-cost object storage class ideal for archiving
b. Able to retrieve objects within 12 hours
S3 glacier deep archive
What S3 Storage Class is this:
a. Creates S3 buckets on Amazon S3 Outposts
b. Makes it easier to retrieve, store, and access data on AWS Outposts
S3 outposts
__________ is a scalable file system used with AWS Cloud services and on-premises resources. As you add and remove files, this grows and shrinks automatically. It can scale on demand to petabytes without disrupting applications.
Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS)
__________ stores data in a single Availability Zone.
Amazon EBS
__________ stores data in a multiple Availability Zone.
Amazon EFS
In what is data stored in a way that relates it to other pieces of data?
relational database
Relational databases use _________ to store and query data?
structured query language (SQL)
Amazon RDS (relational database system) is available on six database engines, which optimize for memory, performance, or input/output (I/O). What are the six?
- Amazon Aurora
- PostgreSQL
- MySQL

- Oracle Database
- Microsoft SQL Server
What is an enterprise-class relational database that is compatible with MySQL and PostgreSQL relational databases. It is up to five times faster than standard MySQL databases and up to three times faster than standard PostgreSQL databases?
Amazon Aurora
_________ helps to reduce your database costs by reducing unnecessary input/output (I/O) operations, while ensuring that your database resources remain reliable and available.
Consider this if your workloads require high availability. It replicates six copies of your data across three Availability Zones and continuously backs up your data to Amazon S3.
Amazon Aurora
What is a nonrelational database with a structural approach for key-value pairs?
DynamoDB
What is Amazon’s key-value database service that delivers single-digit millisecond performance at any scale.
As well:
1. It is Serverless
2. Provides Automatic Scaling
Amazon DynamoDB
__________ is a data warehousing service that you can use for big data analytics. It offers the ability to collect data from many sources and helps you to understand relationships and trends across your data.
Amazon Redshift
____________ enables you to migrate relational databases, nonrelational databases, and other types of data stores.
AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS)
What are the six additional database services amazon provides?
1- Amazon DocumentDB
2- Amazon Neptune
3- Amazon quantum ledger database (amazon QLDB)
4- Amazon managed blockchain
5- Amazon elasticache
6- Amazon DynamoDB accelerator
__________ enables you to manage access to AWS services and resources securely. This gives you the flexibility to configure access based on your company’s specific operational and security needs.
AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM)
An ________ is a document that allows or denies permissions to AWS services and resources.
IAM Policy
You can use ___________ to consolidate and manage multiple AWS accounts within a central location.

service control policies (SCPs)
___________ is a service that provides on-demand access to AWS security and compliance reports and select online agreements.
AWS Artifact
_______________ is a deliberate attempt to make a website or application unavailable to users.
denial-of-service (DoS) attack
___________ automatically protects all AWS customers at no cost. It protects your AWS resources from the most common, frequently occurring types of DDoS attacks.
