Chapter 1 in full: Cloud Technology and Services
34% of the exam, about 22 questions. These are its key points, as in the guide.
- AWS can be used through the Management Console, the CLI and SDKs; infrastructure as code uses CloudFormation.
- Deployment models: cloud, hybrid (cloud plus on-premises) and on-premises; AWS Outposts brings AWS infrastructure on premises.
- A Region is a geographic area with multiple isolated Availability Zones; a Zone is one or more data centers; edge locations serve content through CloudFront.
The rest of chapter 1, on this page
- Choose a Region by data residency and compliance, latency, service availability and price.
- Amazon EC2 provides virtual servers; instance purchasing options include On-Demand, Reserved Instances, Savings Plans, Spot (up to 90% off, can be interrupted) and Dedicated Hosts.
- AWS Lambda runs code without managing servers and bills per execution time; ECS and EKS run containers; Fargate removes server management for containers.
- Auto Scaling adjusts capacity; Elastic Load Balancing spreads traffic across targets and Availability Zones; Elastic Beanstalk deploys apps without managing infrastructure details.
- Databases: RDS (managed relational), Aurora (high-performance relational), DynamoDB (key-value NoSQL), Redshift (data warehouse), ElastiCache (in-memory), DocumentDB, Neptune (graph).
- Database Migration Service moves databases to AWS with minimal downtime.
- Amazon VPC is a private network; public subnets route through an internet gateway, private subnets reach out through a NAT gateway.
- Route 53 is DNS; CloudFront is a CDN; Direct Connect is a dedicated private link; Site-to-Site VPN is an encrypted tunnel over the internet; API Gateway publishes APIs.
- Amazon S3 is object storage with high durability; storage classes include Standard, Intelligent-Tiering, Standard-IA, One Zone-IA and Glacier tiers for archives.
- EBS is block storage attached to one EC2 instance; EFS is shared file storage for Linux; FSx provides managed file systems such as Windows; Storage Gateway connects on-premises to cloud storage.
- AI and ML: SageMaker builds models; Rekognition analyzes images; Comprehend analyzes text; Polly converts text to speech; Transcribe converts speech to text; Lex builds chatbots; Translate translates text; Textract extracts text from documents.
- Analytics and integration: Athena queries S3 with SQL, Glue prepares data, Kinesis streams data, QuickSight builds dashboards, SQS queues messages, SNS sends notifications.
Common mistakes in this chapter
- Availability Zones are not edge locations; edge locations serve cached content.
- EBS attaches to one instance (in general); EFS is shared.
- Spot instances can be interrupted; do not use them for critical stateful work.
- Glacier tiers are for archives, not frequently accessed data.
- Direct Connect is private but not encrypted by default; VPN is encrypted over the internet.
- Lambda is serverless but not for long-running servers.
