Study Notes
AWS Cloud Benefits
- Overprovisioning ensures capacity to withstand failures with minimal downtime, which relates to High Availability.
- Scalability is an AWS Cloud benefit that enables architectures to withstand failures with minimal downtime.
AWS Services
- AWS CloudFormation helps maintain infrastructure in a repeatable fashion, ideal for development and production environments.
- AWS Shield provides security and is not responsible for physical and environmental controls.
- AWS Global Accelerator helps deliver highly available applications with fast failover for multi-Region and Multi-AZ architectures.
- AWS WAF (Web Application Firewall) is not the correct answer for delivering highly available applications.
- Amazon S3 is an object storage service that provides high-level performance, security, scalability, and data availability.
- AWS WAF and AWS Global Accelerator are not the correct answers for sending messages between ecommerce applications.
AWS Shared Responsibility Model
- The customer is responsible for configuring firewalls and networks, which is a shared responsibility.
- Maintaining the security of the AWS Cloud is not the customer's responsibility.
- Implementing physical and environmental controls is not the customer's responsibility.
- Patching the operating system of Amazon RDS instances is not the customer's responsibility.
AWS Services for Log Information and Storage
- VPC Flow Logs provide log information of the inbound and outbound traffic on network interfaces in a VPC.
- AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store is a cost-effective solution for managing configuration data and passwords.
- AWS Secrets Manager is not the most cost-effective solution for managing configuration data and passwords.
AWS Services for Containers and Accounts
- Amazon EC2 provides full control of the compute resources that host containers.
- Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS) and Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) do not provide full control of the compute resources.
- AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) allows users to create new AWS accounts, group multiple accounts, and apply policies to groups of accounts.
AWS Security and Migration
- Rotating access keys on a reoccurring basis helps increase security in the AWS Cloud.
- Using IAM users instead of IAM roles to delegate permissions does not increase security.
- Enabling programmatic access for all IAM users does not increase security.
- AWS Cloud Adoption Framework (AWS CAF) helps analyze and assess readiness for migration.
- AWS Well-Architected Framework is not the correct answer for analyzing and assessing readiness for migration.
AWS Core Functionality
- Amazon S3 is an object storage service that provides high-level performance, security, scalability, and data availability.
- Amazon S3 is not a high-performance block storage service.
AWS Connectivity and Security
- NAT gateway is the correct answer for initiating a connection to the internet to pull operating system updates while preventing traffic from the internet from accessing the EC2 instance.
- VPC endpoint, Amazon PrivateLink, and VPC peering are not the correct answers.
AWS Shared Responsibility Model (continued)
- Securing the virtualization layer and patching the operating system on Amazon EC2 instances are the responsibilities of AWS.
- Enforcing a strict password policy for IAM users and configuring security groups and network ACLs are the customer's responsibilities.
AWS Storage Classes
- S3 Glacier Flexible Retrieval is the correct answer for storing data that will not be frequently accessed and needs to be retrieved within 12 hours.
- S3 Standard, S3 One Zone-Infrequent Access (S3 One Zone-IA), and S3 Standard-Infrequent Access (S3 Standard-IA) are not the correct answers.
AWS Cost Management
- Accessing the AWS Cost Management console to organize resources, set an AWS budget, and receive notifications of unintentional usage helps track costs.
- Using tags to organize resources, creating Amazon CloudWatch dashboards, and accessing the AWS Billing and Cost Management dashboard are not the correct answers.
AWS Services for Computing Jobs
- AWS Batch is the correct answer for planning, scheduling, and running hundreds of thousands of computing jobs.
- AWS Step Functions, AWS Service Catalog, and Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) are not the correct answers.
AWS Services for High Availability and Low Latency
- AWS Global Accelerator and Amazon Route 53 provide high availability and low latency by enabling failover across different AWS Regions.
- Network Load Balancer, Amazon S3 Transfer Acceleration, and Application Load Balancer are not the correct answers.
AWS Auto Scaling
- Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling groups can scale capacity in the AWS Cloud by scaling the number of EC2 instances in or out automatically, based on demand.
- Using serverless EC2 instances and scaling the size of EC2 instances up or down automatically, based on demand, are not the correct answers.
