The capability of a strategy to increase the amount of tasks to be done on the present hardware resources and to mobilize the hefty workloads effortlessly, thereby deactivating the inconsistencies within the cloud application is scalability. The ability of a venture to expand the work on its current and auxiliary hardware property is recognized as flexibility, since equipping the facility to divulge command empty of putting in the infrastructure at all. AWS has many configuration management solutions and resources for AWS scalability, flexibility, availability, and management. What are the layers in AWS cloud architecture? There are altogether five different layers are in AWS architecture. They are: * Cluster Controller (CC) * Storage Controller (SC) © Cloud Controller (CLC) * Walrus (W) © Node Controller (NC)How to facilitate the spin-up services in the cloud? The Application Programming Interface (API) tools are utilized for the spin-up services and also for the written scripts. These written scripts could be coded in languages like Perl, bash, and other preferred languages. There is another option of pattemed administration and specifying blueprint tools such as a dummy or improved offspring. The Scalr tool can also be used and eventually it is a go with a controlled elucidation like a Rightscale, What is Qlik sense? [tis an application whose primary task is data visualization that entitles the search and exploring the large amount of data to make sense of the quality and quantity of the datasets. Through the practice of analysis, we can create compact, elastic, and conversing visualization and thus bring forth solutions accordingly. As this Qlik application is fastidious and meticulous in its work progress, it controls and maintains the access, sharing, and monitoring the database.How a new data table is added? Both data managers and many data sources could be availed to add new data table in a cloud application. Choosing from the data connections which were already defined by the user or administrator and folders and selecting the desired table from it. Selecting from a new data source such ODBC or OLE, and coupling them all together with connectors, web and data files. ik data market can also aid to select from its public or normal commercialized databases. It can be simply done by uploading the file from computer or through an application. When designing an architecture for an intended solution, what is the role of AMI? Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) serves as templates of virtual machines and an instance in the virtual cloud is obtained from an AMI. AWS offers pre-processed AMIs which we can opt for while we are launching a virtual instance, some AMIs are not free, therefore can be bought from the AWS cloud market. We can choose to generate our own customized AMI which would support us save space on AWS. If we are not in need of a set of software on the installation, is becomes easier to customize the AMI to do that, This makes it cost-efficient, since we could remove the redundant things.What to do in case of AWS direct connection failure? When a connection failure occurs, if a backup AWS direct connect configuration is set up, the direct connect will switch over to the second one. It is important to turn on Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) when configuring the connections to confirm quick detection. Subsequently, if a backup IPsec VPN connection setting is configured all Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) traffic will failover to the backup VPN connection mechanically. Traffic to and from public resources like Amazon $3 will be routed over the Internet. If the backup AWS Direct Connect link is absent or an IPsec VPN link is missing, then Amazon VPC traffic will be given up in the event of a failure. Distinguish Amazon RDS, DynamoDB, and Redshift? + Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) is a database management service for relational databases. RDS monitors patching, upgrading, and backup of data of databases without the intervention of the user. RDS manages only the structured data. + DynamoDB, meanwhile, is a NoSQL database service and NoSQL could deal with unstructured data, « Redshift is a completely different service and it serves as a warehouse for data and is used in data analysis.How data to Amazon Redshift is loaded from other data resources? To pull the data together and load it from Amazon EC2, DynamoDB, and Amazon RDS, we need to use the COPY command to load data in sequential order, directly to Amazon Redshift from Amazon EMR, Amazon DynamoDB, or any SSH-enabled host. AWS Data Pipeline provides a high-octane performance, reliable, fault-lolerant solution to load data from a variety of AWS data resources. AWS Data Pipeline can be availed to specify the data source, desired dala transformations, and then execute an already composed import script to load the data into Amazon Redshift. ‘What tools are used to spin-up the servers? To spin-up the existing servers, we need to roll our own servers and use the AWS Application Programming Interface tools. That script are written in bash, Perl or other language of users choice. By using a configuration management systems and feeding tools like puppet or its next generation of Opscode Chef. Tool like Sealr also can be used.How to transfer the currently existing domain name registered to Amazon Route 53 without affecting the web traffic? First, DNS record data for the domain name should be in order. This record is generally available in the form of a “zone file” that is obtainable and it can get from the existing DNS provider. Once the DNS record data is received, Route 53's Management Console or simple web-services interface can be used to generate a hosted zone that will store the DNS records for the domain name and pursue its transfer process. Also there are steps such as updating the name servers for the domain name to the ones connected with the hosted zone. For finishing the process we need to contact the registrar with whom the domain registration is done and following that transferring process is must. As the registrar starts propagating the New name server delegations, the DNS queries will begin to get answered.~ AWS Interview QA part-1 What is the significance of buffer in AWS?

Explanation: Starting, stopping and terminating are the three states in an EC2 instance, let’s discuss them in detail: + Stopping and Starting an instance: When an instance is stopped, the instance performs a normal shutdown and then transitions to a stopped state, All of its Amazon EBS volumes remain attached, and you can start the instance again at a later time. You are not charged for additional instance hours while the instance is in a stopped state, Terminating an instance: When an instance is terminated, the instance performs a normal shutdown, then the attached Amazon EBS volumes are deleted unless the volume’s deleteOnTermination attribute is set to false. The instance itself is also deleted, and you can’t start the instance again at a later time.Section 2: EC2 Questions 5. When will you incur costs with an Elastic IP address (EIP)? Answer: When it is allocated and associated with a stopped instance. Explanation: You are not charged, if only one Elastic IP address is attached with your running instance. But you do get charged in the following conditions: + When you use more than one Elastic IPs with your instance, * When your Elastic IP is attached to a stopped instance. * When your Elastic |P is not attached to any instance.Section 2: EC2 Questions 10. Is one Elastic IP address enough for every instance that | have running? Explanation: Depends! Every instance comes with its own private and public address. The private address is associated exclusively with the instance and is returned to Amazon EC2 only when it is stopped or terminated. Similarly, the public address is associated exclusively with the instance until it is stopped or terminated. However, this can be replaced by the Elastic IP address, which stays with the instance as long as the user doesn’t manually detach it. But what if you are hosting multiple websites on your EC2 server, in that case you may require more than one Elastic |P address.Section 2: EC2 Questions 11. What are the best practices for Security in Amazon EC2? Explanation: There are several best practices to secure Amazon EC2. A few of them are given below: * Use AWS Identity and Access Management (|AM) to control access to your AWS resources. * Restrict access by only allowing trusted hosts or networks to access ports on your instance. + Review the rules in your security groups regularly, and ensure that you apply the principle of least * Privilege — only open up permissions that you require, * Disable password-based logins for instances launched from your AMI. Passwords can be found or cracked, and are a security risk,Section 4: AWS VPC 18, |s it possible to change the private IP addresses of an EC2 while it is running/stopped in a VPC?

What is the importance of buffer in Amazon Web Services? * An Elastic Load Balancer ensures that the incoming traffic is distributed optimally across various AWS instances. A buffer will synchronize different components and makes the arrangement additional elastic to a burst of load or traffic. The components are prone to work in an unstable way of receiving and processing the requests. The buffer creates the equilibrium linking various apparatus and crafts them effort at the identical rate to Supply more rapid services.
