Language-specific APIs that allow programmatic access to AWS services.

Allow AWS services to perform actions on your behalf with specific permissions.

Provides a list of all account users and their credentials status.

Shows service permissions granted to a user and when they were last accessed. Useful for policy reviews.

Command-line interface built on the AWS SDK for Python that allows you to interact with AWS services through the command line.

Booking a resort stay without advance planning, paying full price.

Booking a resort stay in advance, potentially getting a discount for long stays.

Paying a fixed amount per hour for a set time period, staying in any room type.

Bidding for available resort rooms, highest bidder gets the rooms.

Booking an entire building of the resort for exclusive use.

Booking a room for a period, even if not using it, paying full price.

Bidding on computing resources, often at a reduced price, but may be removed at any time.

Pre-arranged, discounted computing resources for a set period.

EFS offers two performance modes: General Purpose (default) for latency-sensitive workloads like web servers and Max I/O for higher throughput and parallel processing for tasks such as big data or media processing.

EFS offers three throughput modes: Bursting (fixed baseline with burst capacity), Provisioned (set throughput regardless of storage size), and Elastic (automatically scales throughput based on workload).

The default storage tier for EFS, suitable for frequently accessed files. It offers the best performance for read and write operations.

A storage tier designed for less frequently accessed files, where there are costs associated with retrieving the data but lower storage costs.

A feature allowing you to automatically move files between storage tiers (Standard and Infrequent Access) based on their access frequency, reducing costs.

A strategy that allows you to 'block' a Spot Instance for a specific time frame (1 to 6 hours) to avoid interruptions. It's useful for tasks that can handle short outages.

In rare cases, a Spot Instance you've blocked might be reclaimed by AWS, even during your block period. This is because Spot Instances compete with other bidders.

Good for batch jobs, data analysis, or workloads that can tolerate temporary interruptions. Not ideal for critical jobs or databases.

You set a maximum price you're willing to pay for a Spot Instance. AWS will try to launch your instance at the lowest price available, but never exceeding your maximum.

You can only cancel Spot Instance requests that are open, active, or disabled. To terminate an instance, you must first cancel the request and then terminate the instance itself.

A group of Spot Instances and potentially On-Demand Instances that work together to meet your capacity needs within price constraints.

Specific combinations of instance types, operating systems, and Availability Zones that Spot Fleets use to launch instances.

Different strategies for allocating Spot Instances to launch pools, each with its own strengths and weaknesses.

Allocates Spot Instances from the pool with the lowest price, ideal for short tasks focused on cost.

Distributes Spot Instances across all pools, improving availability and suitable for longer tasks.

Increasing the resources of a single instance, like upgrading to a larger server size. Think of it like giving someone a bigger toolbox so they can handle more.

Adding more instances to handle increased workload. Like having multiple teams working on the same project, distributing tasks across different workers.

Ensuring continuous operation even if one or more components fail. Like having multiple servers running the same service, so if one goes down, the others pick up the workload.

EBS (Elastic Block Storage) acts like a local hard drive, best for boot volumes and databases. EFS (Elastic File System) is a shared file system accessible by multiple instances, great for websites and application files.

Different storage options for EBS, like frequent access and infrequent access, providing cost savings based on usage patterns.

EFS (Elastic File System) is a managed, shared file system for Linux instances. It allows multiple instances to access the same file system, making it ideal for web applications.

EFS can scale automatically as your file system grows, ensuring high availability and preventing performance bottlenecks as your application's needs change.

EFS simplifies file sharing and management across multiple EC2 instances, enabling scalability and high availability for web applications. It also promotes flexibility as it allows for mounting the same files on various instances.
