AWS Concepts for Grade 12 Students

What are the different storage classes available in AWS S3?

• Standard, Intelligent-Tiering, Standard-IA, One Zone-IA, Glacier, Glacier Deep Archive

• Temporary Storage

• Basic Storage

• Premium Storage

How does Elastic Load Balancing improve application availability?

• Elastic Load Balancing improves application availability by distributing traffic across multiple instances and rerouting traffic from failed instances.

• It guarantees uptime by using a single point of failure.

• It enhances performance by caching data on a single instance.

• It improves availability by increasing server capacity only.

What is the main difference between AWS ECS and AWS Fargate?

• AWS ECS is a fully managed service, while AWS Fargate requires manual server management.

• AWS ECS requires managing EC2 instances, while AWS Fargate is serverless and abstracts infrastructure management.

• AWS ECS is exclusively for container orchestration, while AWS Fargate is for data storage.

• AWS ECS supports only Windows containers, whereas AWS Fargate supports Linux containers only.

List the different types of EC2 instances available in AWS.

• Container Instances

• Serverless Functions

• Virtual Machines

• General Purpose, Compute Optimized, Memory Optimized, Storage Optimized, Accelerated Computing, and Dense Storage.

What is the purpose of AWS S3?

• To provide a database for structured data.

• The purpose of AWS S3 is to provide scalable object storage for data.

• To manage user authentication and access control.

• To host virtual machines in the cloud.

How does AWS EC2 work in cloud computing?

• AWS EC2 works by allowing users to provision and manage virtual servers in the cloud, providing scalable computing resources on demand.

• AWS EC2 is a database management service for cloud applications.

• AWS EC2 provides only static computing resources without scalability.

• AWS EC2 is a physical server located in a data center.

What is an AWS AMI and why is it important?

• An AWS AMI is a pre-configured template for launching EC2 instances, important for quick and consistent deployments.

• An AWS AMI is a physical server located in a data center.

• An AWS AMI is a networking tool for managing traffic between instances.

• An AWS AMI is a type of database service for storing data.

Explain the concept of auto scaling in AWS.

• Auto scaling in AWS requires manual intervention to adjust resources.

• Auto scaling in AWS is only applicable to storage services.

• Auto scaling in AWS automatically adjusts the number of resources based on demand.

• Auto scaling in AWS limits the number of resources to prevent overuse.

What are the benefits of using AWS S3 for storage?

• Inflexible pricing model

• High latency access

• Scalability, durability, availability, security, and cost-effectiveness.

• Limited storage capacity

How do you choose the right EC2 instance type for your application?

• Select the instance with the highest price

• Pick any instance type randomly

• Evaluate application requirements, select appropriate instance family, and use AWS tools for optimization.

• Choose based on the color of the instance
