EC2

Question 1

What are the EC2 Instance Types?

Answer 1

-General Purpose
-Compute Optimized
-Memory Optimized
-Storage Optimized

Question 2

Describe General Purpose EC2

Answer 2

Use Cases: Web Servers, code repositories
-Balance between compute, memory and storage

Question 3

What are the Compute Optimized EC2 use cases?

Answer 3

Compute-intensive & require high performance, such as :
-Batch processing workloads
-Media transcoding
High performance web servers
-High performance computing (HPC)
-Scientific modeling & machine learning
-Dedicated gaming servers

Question 4

What are the Memory Optimized EC2 use cases?

Answer 4

Fast performance for large data sets in memory, such as:
-High performance databases(relational/non-relational)
-Distributed web scale cache stores
-in-memory database optimized for BI
-applications performing real-time processing of big unstructured data

Question 5

What are the Storage Optimized EC2 use cases?

Answer 5

Storage-intensive tasks that require high, sequential R/W access to large data sets on local storage, such as:
-High frequency online transaction processing (OLTP) systems
-Relational & NoSQL databases
-Cache for in-memory databases (ex: Redis)
-Data Warehouse applications
-Distributed file systems
