### 1. **What is AWS?**

**Answer**: AWS (Amazon Web Services) is a cloud platform that offers a variety of
services like computing power, storage, and databases. It allows businesses to run their
applications and store data online instead of using local servers.

### 2. **What is EC2?**

**Answer**: EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) is a service that provides virtual servers
(called instances) where you can run applications. It’s like renting a computer in the
cloud.

### 3. **What is S3?**

documents, images, and videos, in the cloud. It is scalable and allows you to access
your files from anywhere.

### 4. **What is an IAM role?**

**Answer**: IAM (Identity and Access Management) roles define permissions for users
and services. They help control who can access what resources in AWS, ensuring
security.

### 5. **What is a VPC?**

**Answer**: VPC (Virtual Private Cloud) is a service that allows you to create a private
network in the AWS cloud. You can define your own IP address range, subnets, and
security settings.

### 6. **What is RDS?**

**Answer**: RDS (Relational Database Service) is a managed service that makes it


easy to set up, operate, and scale relational databases like MySQL, PostgreSQL, or
Oracle in the cloud.
### 7. **What is a Lambda function?**

**Answer**: AWS Lambda is a serverless computing service that lets you run code
without provisioning or managing servers. You only pay for the time your code runs.

### 8. **What is CloudFront?**

**Answer**: CloudFront is a content delivery network (CDN) that speeds up the


delivery of your website’s content to users around the world. It caches content at
various locations for quicker access.

### 9. **What is an AWS Region?**

**Answer**: An AWS Region is a geographical area that contains multiple data


centers. Users can choose a region to deploy their applications closer to their
customers.

### 10. **What are security groups in AWS?**

**Answer**: Security groups act as virtual firewalls for your AWS resources. They
control inbound and outbound traffic, allowing you to specify which connections are
allowed.

### 11. **What is EBS?**

**Answer**: EBS (Elastic Block Store) provides persistent storage for EC2 instances. It
works like a hard drive in the cloud, allowing you to store data that remains even if the
instance is stopped.

### 12. **What is the difference between vertical and horizontal scaling?**

**Answer**:

- **Vertical scaling** means adding more resources (CPU, memory) to an existing


server.

- **Horizontal scaling** means adding more servers to handle increased load.


### 13. **What is the AWS Free Tier?**

**Answer**: The AWS Free Tier is a program that allows new users to access a limited
amount of AWS services for free for a year. It helps users try out different services
without incurring costs.

### 14. **What is the purpose of AWS CloudTrail?**

**Answer**: AWS CloudTrail is a service that logs and monitors all API calls made in
your AWS account. It helps you track changes and understand how your resources are
being used.

### 15. **What is Auto Scaling?**

**Answer**: Auto Scaling automatically adjusts the number of EC2 instances based
on the demand. It adds more instances when traffic increases and removes them when
traffic decreases.

These questions cover the basics of AWS and should help you feel more confident for a
fresher-level interview!
