AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-
C02)
What is an AWS region?
. - Answer-a) A region is an independent data center, located in different countries around the globe
b) A region is a geographical area that consists of different availability zones. Each region consists of 2
(or more) Availability Zones.
c) A region is a collection of Edge Locations available in specific countries.
d) A region consists of a number of different subset of AWS technologies. For example the compute
region consists of EC2, ECS, Lambda etc
What factors should be considered when choosing an Availability Zone? - Answer-Service Availability,
Cost, Latency, Data Sovereignty, Resiliency
What are Availability Zones? - Answer-Availability Zones are physically separate datacenters within an
region.
Each Availability Zone is made up of one or more datacenters equipped with independent power,
cooling, and networking. It is set up to be an isolation boundary. If one zone goes down, the other
continues working. Availability Zones are connected through high-speed, private fiber-optic networks.
,What is an edge location? - Answer-- The location where CDN content is cached (these are separate
entities from Regions and AZs)
- Are Read/Write capable
- Stores objects for the defined TTL
What is Amazon Cloudfront? - Answer-It's a Content Delivery Network (CDN) that caches copies of data
closer to the customer.
Why use Edge Locations? - Answer-Decreased Latency, Increased Performance, Enhanced Security,
Increased Scalability, Increased Global Reach, Decreased Costs and Customization
What are AWS local zones? - Answer-Designed to extend the AWS network to reduce latency and bring
services to specific geographic areas.
AWS Local Zones - Answer-• Bring AWS resources (compute, database, storage, ...) closer to your users
• Good for latency-sensitive applications
What are AWS wavelength zones? - Answer-Infrastructure deployments that embed AWS compute and
storage services within the telecommunications service providers' datacenters at the edge of the 5G
network
What is the AWS Management Console? - Answer-Secure, easy to access, web based portal where you
can manage cloud computing, storage, and other resources running in AWS
What is an API? - Answer-An application programming interface (API) allows application developers to
bypass traditional web pages and interact directly with the underlying service through function calls.
, What is 5G? - Answer-The latest generation of mobile communications, featuring high data transfer
speeds over high frequencies with minimal latency and requiring low energy.
What is IoT? - Answer-Internet of Things (IoT) is the collection of devices that can communicate over
the Internet with each other or with a control console in order to affect and monitor the real world. IoT
devices might be labeled as smart devices or smart home equipment.
What are AWS Outposts? - Answer-Fully managed service that extends AWS infrastructure, services,
APIs and tools to virtually any data center, for a truly hybrid experience
What is AWS Auto Scaling? - Answer-AWS Auto Scaling is a new AWS service that helps you optimize the
performance of your applications while lowering infrastructure costs by easily and safely scaling multiple
AWS resources. It simplifies the scaling experience by allowing you to scale collections of related
resources that support your application with just a few clicks. AWS Auto Scaling helps you configure
consistent and congruent scaling policies across the full infrastructure stack backing your application.
AWS Auto Scaling will automatically scale resources as needed to align to your selected scaling strategy,
so you maintain performance and pay only for the resources you actually need.
What is Amazon S3? - Answer-Amazon S3 is storage for the Internet. It provides a simple web interface
that offers a highly-scalable, reliable, and low-latency data storage infrastructure at very low costs.
What is AWS RDS? - Answer-RDS is a managed relational database service.
What is AWS? - Answer-Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a cloud-based service provided by Amazon that
allows for the execution of application on a virtual server that runs using servers maintained or rented
by Amazon. AWS has all the typical benefits of a cloud service, including elasticity, scalability, and the
ability to use large amounts of computing resources on a per-use fee basis, which is ultimately much
cheaper than maintaining a server farm directly.
What are the EC2 instance types? - Answer-General Purpose
Compute Optimized
