What is cloud computing?
What is virtual cloud?
How many types of cloud?
Difference between virtual machine and physical machine?
Advantage and disadvantage of virtual machine?
What are regions in AWS?

Ans = AWS Regions are separate geographic areas. AWS Regions

consist of multiple, physically separated and isolated Availability
Zones that are connected with low latency, high throughput, highly
redundant networking.
What is inbound vs outbound rules in AWS?
Inbound and Outbound Rules

Inbound traffic rules control incoming traffic to the instances, and

outbound rules control outgoing traffic. These rules make sure only
allowed traffic can reach your Magento 2 store. It helps define which
types of traffic are allowed to pass through the security group and
access your store.

Creating a server:
Clicking on Ec2 which navigate to service and doing the configuration.
Then click into instance.
Difference between virtual server and
What is instance type?
What is keypair and use?
What are key pairs?
A key pair is a combination of a public key that is used to encrypt
data and a private key that is used to decrypt data.
What is a key pair in cyber law?
A key pair in cybersecurity is a set of two keys, a public key and a
private key, that are used to encrypt and decrypt data. The public key
can be shared with anyone while the private key must be kept secure,
as it is used to decrypt the data that has been encrypted with the
public key.
What are security groups for in AWS?
An AWS security group acts as a virtual firewall for your EC2 instances
to control incoming and outgoing traffic. Both inbound and outbound
rules control the flow of traffic to and traffic from your instance,
respectively.

What is a security group used for?

Security groups can provide an efficient way to assign access to
resources on your network. By using security groups, you can: Assign
user rights to security groups in Active Directory. Assign user rights to
a security group to determine what members of that group can do
within the scope of a domain or forest

How many security groups can be created in AWS?

Security groups

Name Default Adjustable

VPC security groups per Region 2,500 Yes

Inbound or outbound rules per security group 60 Yes

Security groups per network interface 5 Yes (up to 16)

What is Firewall (security group)?

[ec2-user@ip-172-31-38-228 ~]$
user name private ip address
~ = tilde symbol
Here it describes location
Pwd =
Navigating root location:
[ec2-user@ip-172-31-38-228 ~]$ cd /
[ec2-user@ip-172-31-38-228 /]$ // root locations
[ec2-user@ip-172-31-38-228 /]$ ls
bin dev home lib64 media opt root sbin sys usr
boot etc lib local mnt proc run srv tmp var
// here we have default folder .
Then navigate to home
[ec2-user@ip-172-31-38-228 /]$ cd /home/
[ec2-user@ip-172-31-38-228 home]$ ls
ec2-user // in Linux its blue color means its directory.
[ec2-user@ip-172-31-38-228 home]$ cd ec2-user/
[ec2-user@ip-172-31-38-228 ~]$ // here tilde symbol means we are
in user directory.
Man command: -
man command in Linux is used to display the user manual of any
command that we can run on the terminal. It provides a detailed
view of the command which includes NAME, SYNOPSIS,
DESCRIPTION, OPTIONS, EXIT STATUS, RETURN VALUES, ERRORS,
FILES, VERSIONS, EXAMPLES, AUTHORS and SEE ALSO.
Ex:-
[ec2-user@ip-172-31-38-228 ~]$ man ls
See the details of ls command.
What is root user?
What is sudo (su 'do')?
Sudo is a command-line utility for Unix and Unix-based operating
systems such as Linux and macOS. The utility provides an efficient
way to temporarily grant users or user groups privileged access to
system resources so that they can run commands that they cannot
run under their regular accounts.
Navigate to root user:-
[ec2-user@ip-172-31-38-228 ~]$ useradd dev
useradd: Permission denied.
useradd: cannot lock /etc/passwd; try again later.
[ec2-user@ip-172-31-38-228 ~]$ sudo su
[root@ip-172-31-38-228 ec2-user]# pwd
/home/ec2-user
[root@ip-172-31-38-228 ec2-user]# cd
[root@ip-172-31-38-228 ~]# pwd
/root
[root@ip-172-31-38-228 ~]#
Description. The pwd command writes to standard output the full
path name of your current directory (from the root directory). All
directories are separated by a / (slash). The root directory is
represented by the first /, and the last directory named is your
current directory.
Pwd : present working directory

Date 28/January /2024

The /etc/passwd file is stored in /etc directory. To view it, we can use
any regular file viewer command such as cat, less, more, etc. Each
line in /etc/passwd file represents an individual user account and
contains following seven fields separated by colons (:).
What is a physical server?
A standalone hardware unit, each physical server is a complete
machine with its own CPU, RAM, storage, and network interfaces.
You’d typically choose a physical server for:

Performance: Physical servers offer higher performance and

computing power, making them an optimal choice for organizations
that run resource-intensive applications.
Isolation: Because they are standalone, physical servers are isolated
and reduce the risk of interference from other applications.
Predictability: With resource allocation dedicated to specific
applications, physical servers can be more consistent and predictable.
A physical server is ideal for clients seeking increased storage
capabilities and performance from their operating systems. If your
client requires resource-intensive applications, such as high-
performance databases or scientific simulations, physical servers are
ideal. You might also use physical servers to minimize potential risks
if a client uses security-sensitive applications.

What is a virtual server?

A virtual server is a software-based server acting as an emulation of
an actual physical computer. Whereas a physical server has hardware
for its operating system, a virtual server is a complex system that
allows multiple virtual machines (VMs) to run simultaneously,
virtualizing computing resources and sharing them among all VMs.

A virtual server is typically best for:

Efficiency: Virtualization allows for more efficient usage of hardware

resources.
Scalability: You can seamlessly scale virtual servers up or down,
providing more flexibility for clients to adjust as their demands
change.
Cost-effectiveness: Opting for virtualization reduces overall hardware
costs and power consumption, and can cost roughly $5,000 less to
deploy than physical servers.
A virtual server is ideal for clients seeking to increase productivity
without increasing their footprint. Virtual servers are typically
recommended for web hosting, web applications, and development
and testing environments.
