⩥ What is the charge for in-bound data transfer across all Amazon Web
Services in all regions?. Answer: There is no charge for in-bound data
transfer across all AWS services in all regions.
⩥ With which of the following can you run code without provisioning or
managing servers and pay only for the compute time consumed (there is

⩥ Which of the following from Amazon is an interactive query service
used to analyze data in Amazon S3 using standard SQL and serverless
(so you pay for the queries that you run)?. Answer: Athena
⩥ With EC2 instances, which of the following is a snapshot of a
particular state of that resource?. Answer: golden image
,⩥ Which of the following allows you to bid on spare Amazon EC2
computing capacity?. Answer: Spot Instances
⩥ Amazon S3 Storage Glacier is a long-term storage solution that
currently starts at what rate per GB per month?. Answer: $0.004
⩥ Which of the following are the two services on AWS you can choose
for searches? (Choose two). Answer: Amazon CloudSearch
⩥ With HTTP and HTTPS traffic, what feature of an Application Load
Balancer can be used to bind a user's session to a specific instance?.
Answer: sticky sessions
⩥ With Amazon S3, Standard Storage is designed to provide
99.999999999 percent durability and what percent availability?. Answer:
99.99
⩥ What are the three fundamental characteristics you pay for in AWS?.
Answer: Compute, storage, and data transfer out.
⩥ Which Amazon Services are offered at no-charge?. Answer: Amazon
VPC
Amazon Beanstalk
,Amazon CloudFormation
Amazon IAM
Amazon Auto-Scaling
Amazon OpsWorks
⩥ What is a Spot Instance?. Answer: Spot instances are spare EC2
capacity that can save you up 90% off of On-Demand prices that AWS
can interrupt with a 2-minute notification. Spot uses the same underlying
EC2 instances as On-Demand and Reserved Instances, and is best suited
for fault-tolerant, flexible workloads.
⩥ True or False: Spot prices adjust gradually based on long term supply
and demand for spare EC2 capacity.. Answer: True
⩥ True or False: Windows Server with SQL Server is currently available
as a spot instance.. Answer: False
⩥ 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 the largest object size that can be uploaded in S3 with a single
PUT command?. Answer: The largest object that can be uploaded in a
single PUT is 5 gigabytes.
, ⩥ What storage classes does Amazon S3 offer?. Answer: Amazon S3
Standard for general-purpose storage of frequently accessed
dataAmazon S3 Standard - Infrequent Access for long-lived, but less
frequently accessed dataAmazon Glacier for long-term archive
⩥ What is Reduced Redundancy Storage?. Answer: Reduced
Redundancy Storage (RRS) is an Amazon S3 storage option that enables
customers to reduce their costs by storing noncritical, reproducible data
at lower levels of redundancy than Amazon S3's standard storage.
⩥ What factors are taken in account to estimate S3 storage charges?.
Answer: Storage Class, storage (the number and size of objects stored in
your S3 bucket), requests (the number and type of requests), and data
transfer (the amount of data transferred out of the S3 region) are factors
that should be considered to estimate S3 charges.
⩥ Which type of AWS storage is analogous to virtual disks in the cloud?.
Answer: Elastic Block Storage (EBS)
⩥ True/False: EBS volumes persist beyond the life of an EC2 instance..
Answer: True
⩥ Elastic Block Storage (EBS). Answer: Block level storage volumes
for use with EC2 instances
