    Study Notes

    AWS Services for Specific Needs

    • Snowball Edge Device Usage: Data transfer within the same AWS region is free for Snowball Edge devices. However, transferring data between regions or to/from other AWS services outside the same region incurs data transfer charges. Rental periods are typically 10 days for storage-optimized and 30 days for compute-optimized Snowball Edge devices. Charges apply only when the device is in use.

    • AWS Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) Foundational Capabilities: Governance is a foundational capability in the AWS CAF, involving policies and controls for cloud resource management, compliance, and risk mitigation. While sustainability, performance efficiency, and reliability are important, they aren't explicitly listed as foundational capabilities in the AWS CAF.

    • Managing Docker Environments: AWS Fargate, used with Amazon ECS, is suitable for managing Docker environments on Amazon EC2 instances, facilitating cluster size management, scheduling, and environment maintenance without server management. AWS Lambda is a serverless service; AWS RDS is a relational database service; and AWS Athena is an interactive query service.

    • AWS Rightsizing: AWS Compute Optimizer analyzes EC2 instance utilization and provides recommendations for rightsizing (changing instance types). AWS Cost Explorer is useful for analyzing cost and usage patterns; however, it doesn't specifically identify rightsizing opportunities.

    • AWS Trusted Advisor: This service provides recommendations for cost optimization (detecting underutilized resources), improving security by proactively monitoring the AWS environment, and enhancing the reliability of services.

    • Managing Infrastructure as Code (IaC): AWS Service Catalog is used to manage and govern infrastructure as code (IaC) templates (e.g., CloudFormation or Terraform configurations) in a centralized manner, helping meet compliance requirements. AWS Resource Explorer, AWS Organizations, and AWS Systems Manager are not primarily for this purpose.
