AWS CLOUD PRACTITIONER ESSENTIALS MODULE 10
What should you consider for the security of your architecture?
-Automate security best practices when possible. -Apply security at all layers. -Protect data in transit and at rest.
What are the five pillars of the Well-Architected Framework?
-Operational excellence -Security -Reliability -Performance efficiency -Cost optimization
What are the 6 advantages that AWS Cloud offers that benefits over computing in on-premises or hybrid environments?
-Trade upfront expense for variable expense. -Benefit from massive economies of scale. -Stop guessing capacity. -Increase speed and agility. -Stop spending money running and maintaining data centers. -Go global in minutes.
What does Cost optimization includes?
Adopting a consumption model, analyzing and attributing expenditure, and using managed services to reduce the cost of ownership.
Benefit from massive economies of scale.
By using cloud computing, you can achieve a lower variable cost than you can get on your own. Because usage from hundreds of thousands of customers aggregates in the cloud, providers such as AWS can achieve higher economies of scale. Economies of scale translate into lower pay-as-you-go prices.
Stop spending money running and maintaining data centers.
Cloud computing in data centers often requires you to spend more money and time managing infrastructure and servers. A benefit of cloud computing is the ability to focus less on these tasks and more on your applications and customers.
What is the AWS Well-Architected Framework?
Helps you understand how to design and operate reliable, secure, efficient, and cost-effective systems in the AWS Cloud.
How do you evaluate the performance efficiency of your architecture?
Includes experimenting more often, using serverless architectures, and designing systems to be able to go global in minutes.
What are the design principles for operational excellence in the cloud?
Includes performing operations as code, annotating documentation, anticipating failure, and frequently making small, reversible changes.
What are the benefits of cloud computing? (Select TWO.)
Increase speed and agility. Stop spending money running and maintaining data centers.
What does AWS Well-Architected Framework provide?
It provides a way for you to consistently measure your architecture against best practices and design principles and identify areas for improvement.
Which pillar of the AWS Well-Architected Framework includes the ability to run workloads effectively and gain insights into their operations?
Operational Excellence
Which process is an example of benefiting from massive economies of scale?
Receiving lower pay-as-you-go prices as the result of AWS customers' aggregated usage of services
Which pillar of the AWS Well-Architected Framework focuses on the ability of a workload to consistently and correctly perform its intended functions?
Reliability
What does the Reliability pillar include?
Reliability includes testing recovery procedures, scaling horizontally to increase aggregate system availability, and automatically recovering from failure.
What is the Reliability pillar?
Reliability is the ability of a system to do the following: -Recover from infrastructure or service disruptions -Dynamically acquire computing resources to meet demand -Mitigate disruptions such as misconfigurations or transient network issues
Go global in minutes.
The AWS Cloud global footprint enables you to quickly deploy applications to customers around the world, while providing them with low latency.
What is the Security pillar?
The ability to protect information, systems, and assets while delivering business value through risk assessments and mitigation strategies.
What is Operational excellence security?
The ability to run and monitor systems to deliver business value and to continually improve supporting processes and procedures.
What is the Cost optimization pillar?
The ability to run systems to deliver business value at the lowest price point.
Increase speed and agility.
The flexibility of cloud computing makes it easier for you to develop and deploy applications. This flexibility also provides your development teams with more time to experiment and innovate.
Trade upfront expense for variable expense.
Upfront expenses include data centers, physical servers, and other resources that you would need to invest in before using computing resources. Instead of investing heavily in data centers and servers before you know how you're going to use them, you can pay only when you consume computing resources.
Stop guessing capacity.
With cloud computing, you don't have to predict how much infrastructure capacity you will need before deploying an application. For example, you can launch Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances when needed and pay only for the compute time you use. Instead of paying for resources that are unused or dealing with limited capacity, you can access only the capacity that you need, and scale in or out in response to demand.
What is the Performance efficiency pillar?
the ability to use computing resources efficiently to meet system requirements and to maintain that efficiency as demand changes and technologies evolve.
