1. What is the relation between the Availability Zone and Region?

A Region is a specific geographical area that contains multiple Availability Zones,


which are isolated data centers within that Region.

2. What services can be used to create a centralized logging solution?


Amazon CloudWatch Logs, Amazon Elasticsearch with Kibana and Amazon S3

3. How do you set up a system to monitor website metrics in real-time in AWS?


Using Amazon CloudWatch, creating dashboards with alarms and automated actions

4. With specified private IP addresses, can an Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)
instance be launched? If so, which Amazon service makes it possible?
yes, when creating an EC2 instance you can specify the private IP within the chosen
subnet depending on the VPC the EC2 will be deployed in.

5. Will your standby RDS be launched in the same availability zone as your primary?
The scope for a standby RDS is for high-availability, so I would launch it in a
different AZ

6. 28. On an EC2 instance, an application of yours is active. Once the CPU usage on
your instance hits 80%, you must reduce the load on it. What strategy do you use to
complete the task?
Since the service is already running, I would
a. Create a launch template that is the same as the running EC2
b. create an autoscaling group and add the EC2 to it
c. Setup an ELB and add the autoscaling group to it
d. Setup scaling policies so that new instances are created when the CPU hits 80%

7. Your business prefers to use its email address and domain to send and receive
compliance emails. What service do you recommend to implement it easily and budget-
friendly?
Amazon Simple Email Service

8. Multiple Linux Amazon EC2 instances running a web application for a firm are
being used, and data is being stored on Amazon EBS volumes. The business is
searching for a way to provide storage that complies with atomicity, consistency,
isolation, and durability while also increasing the application's resilience in the
event of a breakdown (ACID). What steps should a solutions architect take to
fulfill these demands?

a. move from EBS volumes to RDS


b. setup multi AZ deployments
c. setup read-replicas for RDS
d. setup monitoring and alerting
e. setup Backup and restore procedures such as automated backup
f. Autoscaling with Loadbalancing
g. and string Access control
9. Can S3 Be Used with EC2 Instances, and If Yes, How?
Yes, by mounting S3 buckets directly using tools like S3FS or using the AWS api.

10. What are the different types of EC2 instances based on their costs?
On-demand, reserved, spot and saving plans

11. How can you recover/login to an EC2 instance for which you have lost the key?
By either attaching the root volume to another instance and modifying the SSH key

12. What are some critical differences between AWS S3 and EBS?
EBS is only accesable through and EC2 instance while S3 is accessable from
everywher

13. What Is Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) and Why Is It Used?
VPC are isolated networks within AWS

14. How do you connect multiple sites to a VPC?


Using AWS VPN

15. How many Subnets can you have per VPC?


200

16. How is AWS CloudFormation different from AWS Elastic Beanstalk?


Cloudformation is an IaC tool where one can configure the infrastructure using code
whilst ElasticBeanstalk manages the infrastructure automatically

17. What are the elements of an AWS CloudFormation template?


Cloudformation template consists of resources, mapping, conditions, parameters and
outputs

18. What are the different uses of the various load balancers in AWS Elastic Load
Balancing?
NLBs are for tcp and udp traffic
ALBS are for the application layer (L7)
CLBs can handle both l4 and l7

19. How can you use AWS WAF in monitoring your AWS applications?
AWS WAF can integrate with Cloudwatch and analises the traffic in real-time

20. What is the difference between an IAM role and an IAM user?
An IAM user is a user with a set of rights, an IAM role is also of rights that can
be assumed by multiple users or services.
