AWS Services Quiz

The transfer of data between your Snowball Edge device and other AWS services within the same region is free.

Data transfer between different AWS regions or between your Snowball Edge device and AWS services outside the region may incur charges depending on the AWS service used.

There are no additional charges for using the Snowball Edge device during the rental period. This period typically ranges from 10 to 30 days depending on the type of Snowball Edge device.

Once your Snowball Edge device is in use, you are charged for data transfer and AWS service usage.

A Snowball Edge device is a physical storage appliance that allows you to transfer large amounts of data to and from AWS.

The Snowball Edge device comes in two configurations: storage optimized and compute optimized. The storage optimized device is ideal for large data transfers, while the compute optimized device can be used for data processing and analysis directly on the device.

A primary source is the original source of information, like research, interviews, or firsthand accounts. It provides the most direct and reliable information.

The customer is responsible for managing and controlling access to their DynamoDB tables, including setting up appropriate IAM permissions and policies.

The AWS Shared Responsibility Model divides the responsibility for certain aspects of a service between AWS and the customer.

The customer is responsible for managing access to DynamoDB tables through Identity and Access Management (IAM) permissions and policies.

IAM (Identity and Access Management) allows customers to manage which users have access to specific resources, like DynamoDB tables.

A hybrid storage service that seamlessly connects on-premises applications to cloud-based storage, specifically Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service).

A key interface of AWS Storage Gateway, allowing you to easily manage files stored in Amazon S3 as if they were on your local network.

AWS Storage Gateway is primarily used to extend on-premises storage into the AWS cloud, enabling low-latency access to data stored in Amazon S3.

It offers a centralized management approach for your storage, simplifying administration and scalability. Users can access files as if they were stored locally, reducing the need for individual S3 buckets.

AWS Storage Gateway provides access to data stored in Amazon S3 with low latency, mimicking the speed of local access.

By connecting each user's workstation to the file gateway, you can grant them access to the cloud storage while maintaining the familiar local file system experience.

Using AWS Storage Gateway allows you to easily extend your local storage into the cloud, effectively combining the advantages of both.

AWS Storage Gateway is designed to work seamlessly with existing on-premises applications, making migration to the cloud easier and more efficient.

AWS Storage Gateway is specifically designed for hybrid storage, enabling you to manage and access data in both on-premises and cloud environments.

Maintaining the database's ability to operate continuously even with failures or problems, ensuring the database is always available for use.

The basic infrastructure where EC2 instances run (like servers and networking) is managed by AWS; customers handle the operating systems, databases, and firewall rules.

The physical infrastructure that supports the AWS services, like the servers and the networking equipment.

The customer (not AWS) is responsible for configuring and managing the database running on EC2 instances, including ensuring its high availability.

Security groups act like virtual firewalls, controlling inbound and outbound network traffic to EC2 instances.

AWS is responsible for applying security patches to the underlying infrastructure that hosts EC2 instances, but not for the operating systems running on those instances.

AWS Service Catalog enables centralized management of pre-approved IT services, ensuring consistent governance while granting users quick access to necessary tools while meeting compliance standards.

AWS Organizations consolidates numerous AWS accounts into a single hierarchy. It facilitates centralized management and administration of cloud resources, ensuring compliance and security across these accounts.

AWS Systems Manager provides a range of tools for managing infrastructure at scale. It automates operational tasks, simplifies patch management, and enhances visibility across systems.

AWS Resource Explorer helps you explore, understand, and query resources within your AWS environment. Think of it as a search engine for locating and analyzing various AWS components.

AWS Service Catalog focuses on managing and governing pre-approved IT services, while AWS Organizations allows for consolidating and organizing multiple AWS accounts. AWS Systems Manager specializes in managing AWS infrastructure at scale, and AWS Resource Explorer lets you explore and analyze existing AWS resources.
