Read the first 7 Cloud Concepts & AWS Core Services flashcards as text

  1. Which AWS service would you use to monitor CPU utilization of your EC2 instances and set alarms when thresholds are breached?

    Answer: Amazon CloudWatch

    Amazon CloudWatch collects metrics like CPU utilization and lets you create alarms that trigger notifications or actions when thresholds are exceeded.

  2. A company needs to send transactional emails (order confirmations, password resets) at scale from their AWS-hosted application. Which service should they use?

    Answer: Amazon SES

    Amazon SES (Simple Email Service) is designed for sending large volumes of transactional or marketing emails from applications.

  3. What is the primary purpose of an AWS Availability Zone (AZ)?

    Answer: To provide fault isolation so a failure in one AZ does not affect others

    Availability Zones are physically separate data centers within a Region, designed so failures (power, cooling, network) are isolated and do not cascade.

  4. Which AWS tool provides automated recommendations to help optimize your AWS environment for cost, performance, security, fault tolerance, and service limits?

    Answer: AWS Trusted Advisor

    AWS Trusted Advisor analyzes your AWS environment and provides real-time guidance across five categories: cost, performance, security, fault tolerance, and service limits.

  5. Which deployment model describes running workloads on infrastructure you own and operate in your own facilities, without using cloud services?

    Answer: Private cloud (on-premises)

    A private/on-premises deployment means infrastructure is owned and managed internally, not hosted by a cloud provider like AWS.

  6. A developer needs temporary AWS credentials to allow an EC2 instance to access an S3 bucket without storing long-term access keys. What should they use?

    Answer: IAM Role attached to the EC2 instance

    An IAM Role attached to an EC2 instance provides temporary, automatically rotated credentials without requiring hardcoded access keys.

  7. Which AWS service provides a managed Kubernetes container orchestration service?

    Answer: Amazon EKS

    Amazon EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service) is a managed Kubernetes service that runs the Kubernetes control plane across multiple AWS AZs.
