- Keep the data on EBS volumes safe by creating EBS snapshots and ensuring that the data is encrypted at rest.
Cloud Architecture Principle of Elasticity
- Elasticity improves architecture design by automatically provisioning required AWS resources based on changes in demand.
Cost Overrun Notifications
- To get notifications when the monthly AWS bill exceeds $2000, set up a CloudWatch billing alarm that triggers an SNS notification and configure the AWS Budgets Service to alert when the threshold is exceeded.
Amazon CloudFront
- Amazon CloudFront uses AWS Edge Locations to distribute content to global users with low latency.
Principle of Least Privilege
- The "Principle of Least Privilege" means granting users only the permissions they need when they need them and nothing more.
AWS Cloud Computing Models
- Networking as a Service (NaaS) is NOT one of the AWS Cloud Computing models.
Cost-Effective Storage
- Amazon S3 Glacier Deep Archive is the most cost-effective service to store recorded videos that are only required in the event of a legal issue or a regulatory compliance breach.
Route 53
- Route 53 provides DNS in the AWS cloud.
