Study Notes - Amazon Web Services -EC2

What I learned about Amazon Web Services (AWS) from infinitieSkills Training

Introduction: 

Amazon Web Services (AWS) are a collection of cloud computing and infrastructure resources available from Amazon.com.

From this training, I learned the EC2 and elastic cloud compute, which are virtual servers in the cloud. Storage and content delivery, database administration and security, deployment and management.

I also practiced building  EC2 Linux/Windows Instance, monitoring and reporting security,and  provisioning.

Learning Notes: 

Terminology:

• EC2
• Elastic Cloud Computer 
• Instance 
•  a VM inside the AWS

AWS Services:

• Elastic Bean Stalk
• use for launch a web application in the cloud.
• EC2 Storage:
• Storage Options:
• Content delivery
• Storage Gateway
• Elastic Block Storage
• Cloudfront
• Simple Storage Services (S3)
• EBS
• Block Storage for EC2
• the disk used for VM in the AWS Cloud
• Key Concepts
• EBS for VM
• For AWS, compute and disk are separate 
• Connect storage (EBS) to compute (EC2)
• Disk Performance
• Measured in input/output per second (IOPS)
• Snapshots and Encryption
• S3
•  S3 for object storage
•  Static files such as media or a static website
• S3 Concept
• Use buckets to store objects
• Objects can be version
• S3 Resources
• Buckets and objects are primary resource
• S3 Access Control
• Granted through Access Control List (ACLS) and policies
• Summary:
• Concepts around EBS and S3
• EBS for EC2 virtual machines
• configures the storage type based on performance need
• connect storage to EC2 instance
• S3 for static object storage
• Provides versioning and redundancy
• Granular Security Control
