16. What are the differences between NAT Gateways and NAT Instances?

While both NAT Gateways and NAT Instances serve the same function, they still
have some key differences.

17. What is CloudWatch?


The Amazon CloudWatch has the following features:
 Depending on multiple metrics, it participates in triggering alarms.
 Helps in monitoring the AWS environments like CPU utilization, EC2, Amazon
RDS instances, Amazon SQS, S3, Load Balancer, SNS, etc.
18. What is an Elastic Transcoder?
To support multiple devices with various resolutions like laptops, tablets, and
smartphones, we need to change the resolution and format of the video. This can be
done easily by an AWS Service tool called the Elastic Transcoder, which is a media
transcoding in the cloud that exactly lets us do the needful. It is easy to use, cost-
effective, and highly scalable for businesses and developers.

AWS Interview Questions for Intermediate and Experienced


19. With specified private IP addresses, can an Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)
instance be launched? If so, which Amazon service makes it possible?
Yes. Utilizing VPC makes it possible (Virtual Private Cloud).
20. Define Amazon EC2 regions and availability zones?
Availability zones are geographically separate locations. As a result, failure in one
zone has no effect on EC2 instances in other zones. When it comes to regions, they
may have one or more availability zones. This configuration also helps to reduce
latency and costs.
21. Explain Amazon EC2 root device volume?
The image that will be used to boot an EC2 instance is stored on the root device
drive. This occurs when an Amazon AMI runs a new EC2 instance. And this root
device volume is supported by EBS or an instance store. In general, the root device
data on Amazon EBS is not affected by the lifespan of an EC2 instance.
22. Mention the different types of instances in Amazon EC2 and explain its features.
1. General Purpose Instances: They are used to compute a range of workloads
and aid in the allocation of processing, memory, and networking resources.
2. Compute Optimized Instances: These are ideal for compute-intensive
applications. They can handle batch processing workloads, high-performance
web servers, machine learning inference, and various other tasks.
3. Memory Optimized: They process workloads that handle massive datasets in
memory and deliver them quickly.
4. Accelerated Computing: It aids in the execution of floating-point number
calculations, data pattern matching, and graphics processing. These functions
are carried out using hardware accelerators.
5. Storage Optimised: They handle tasks that require sequential read and write
access to big data sets on local storage.
23. Will your standby RDS be launched in the same availability zone as your
primary?
No, standby instances are launched in different availability zones than the primary,
resulting in physically separate infrastructures. This is because the entire purpose of
standby instances is to prevent infrastructure failure. As a result, if the primary
instance fails, the backup instance will assist in recovering all of the data.

Advanced AWS Interview Questions and Answers


24. What is the difference between a Spot Instance, an On-demand Instance, and a
Reserved Instance?
Spot instances are unused EC2 instances that users can use at a reduced cost.
When you use on-demand instances, you must pay for computing resources without
making long-term obligations.
Reserved instances, however, allow you to specify attributes such as instance type,
platform, tenancy, region, and availability zone. When instances in certain
availability zones are used, reserved instances offer significant reductions and
capacity reservations.
25. How would you address a situation in which the relational database engine
frequently collapses when traffic to your RDS instances increases, given that the
RDS instance replica is not promoted as the master instance?
A larger RDS instance type is required for handling significant quantities of traffic,
as well as producing manual or automated snapshots to recover data if the RDS
instance fails.
26. What do you understand by 'changing' in Amazon EC2?
To make limit administration easier for customers, Amazon EC2 now offers the
option to switch from the current 'instance count-based limitations' to the new
'vCPU Based restrictions.' As a result, when launching a combination of instance
types based on demand, utilization is measured in terms of the number of vCPUs.
27. Define Snapshots in Amazon Lightsail?
The point-in-time backups of EC2 instances, block storage drives, and databases are
known as snapshots. They can be produced manually or automatically at any
moment. Your resources can always be restored using snapshots, even after they
have been created. These resources will also perform the same tasks as the original
ones from which the snapshots were made.
