Questions and Answers
What is the function of an Elastic IP in the AWS architecture described?
What is the function of an Elastic IP in the AWS architecture described?
- To provide static data storage for EC2 instances.
- To monitor the health status of EC2 instances.
- To assign a static, publicly accessible IP address to an EC2 instance. (correct)
- To create a temporary network connection for data transfers.
Which statement best explains the relationship between EBS volumes and EC2 instances?
Which statement best explains the relationship between EBS volumes and EC2 instances?
- EBS volumes are used to provide persistent storage to EC2 instances even after the instances are terminated. (correct)
- EBS volumes function as a backup mechanism for EC2 instance data but must be manually attached.
- EBS volumes are permanently attached to an EC2 instance at launch and cannot be detached.
- EBS volumes provide temporary storage that is deleted when the EC2 instance is stopped.
What role do AWS Security Groups play in the architecture?
What role do AWS Security Groups play in the architecture?
- They store the logs generated by EC2 instances.
- They provide a service for analyzing the application logs.
- They ensure data is uploaded to S3 buckets efficiently.
- They act as virtual firewalls managing traffic to and from EC2 instances. (correct)

Study Notes
AWS Architecture Diagram: Logging System
- Depicts an AWS architecture for logging system and application logs
- Uses EC2 instances, Elastic IPs, EBS Volumes, and S3 buckets
Components
- AWS Region: Geographical location for AWS resources
- Internet: Global network
- Domain name: Unique name for a website or web application
- EC2 Instance: Virtual server running on AWS
- Elastic IP: Static public IP address assigned to an EC2 instance
- EBS Volume: Block storage for persistent storage on EC2 instances
- EBS Volume snapshot: Point-in-time copy of an EBS volume
- AWS Security Group: Virtual firewall for controlling traffic to EC2 instances
- S3 Bucket: Object storage service for data storage
Data Flow
- Logs are generated from applications running on EC2 instances
- System logs and application logs are uploaded to S3 bucket
- EBS volume snapshots of the data are made periodically
Architecture Summary
- Illustrates a typical cloud-based system log delivery
- EC2 instance collects logs which are then sent to an S3 bucket for storage
- System backs up EBS storage used by EC2 instances
