resources for hosting web services, storage, networking, databases and other resources over the
internet with a pay-as-you-go pricing.

Q2) What are the components of AWS?


Answer: EC2 Elastic Compute Cloud, S3 Simple Storage Service, Store, Cloudwatch, Key-Paris are few
of the components of AWS.

Q3) What are key-pairs?


Answer: Key-pairs are secure login information for your instances/virtual machines. To connect to
the instances we use key-pairs that contain a public-key and private-key.

Q4) What is S37


Answer: S3 stands for Simple Storage Service. It is a storage service that provides an interface that
you can use to store any amount of data, at any time, from anywhere in the world. With S3 you pay
only for what you use and the payment model is pay-as-you-go

Q5) What are the pricing models for EC2instances?


Answer The different pricing model for EC2 instances are as below,

 On-demand
 Reserved
 Spot
 Scheduled
 Dedicated

Q6) What are the types of volumes for EC2 instances?


Answer: There are two types of volumes,
 Instance store volumes
 EBS Elastic BlockStores

Q7) What are EBS volumes?


Answer: EBS stands for Elastic Block Stores. They are persistent volumes that you can attach
to the instances. With EBS volumes, your data will be preserved even when you stop your
instances, unlike your instance store volumes where the data is deleted when you stop the
instances.
Q8) What are the types of volumes in EBS?
Answer: Following are the types of volumes in EBS,

 General purpose
 Provisioned IOPS
 Magnetic
 Cold HDD
 Throughput optimized

Q8) What are the types of volumes in EBS?


Answer: Following are the types of volumes in EBS,

o General purpose
o Provisioned IOPS
o Magnetic
o Cold HDD
o Throughput optimized

Q9) What are the different types of instances?


Answer: Following are the types of instances,

 General purpose
 Computer Optimized
 Storage Optimized
 Memory Optimized
 Accelerated Computing

Q10) What is an auto-scaling and what are the


components?
Answer: Auto scaling allows you to automatically scale-up and scale-down the
number of instances depending on the CPU utilization or memory utilization. There
are 2 components in Auto scaling, they are Auto-scaling groups and Launch
Configuration.

Q11) What are reserved instances?


Answer: Reserved instances are the instance that you can reserve a fixed capacity of
EC2 instances. In reserved instances you will have to get into a contract of 1 year or 3
years.

Q12) What is an AMI?


Answer: AMI stands for Amazon Machine Image. AMI is a template that contains the
software configurations, launch permission and a block device mapping that
specifies the volume to attach to the instance when it is launched.

Q13) What is an EIP?


Answer: EIP stands for Elastic IP address. It is designed for dynamic cloud computing.
When you want to have a static IP address for your instances when you stop and
restart your instances, you will be using EIP address.

are available for EC2 instances?
Answer: Diskreads, Diskwrites, CPU utilization, networkpacketsin,
networkpackets Out, networkin, networkOut, CPUCreditUsage,
CPUCreditBalance.
