Amazon EC2 Flashcards
(19 cards)
enables you to run VMs in the cloud and easily scale capacity up or down as needed.
Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud)
You can use an ____instance when you need complete control of your computing resources and want to run any type of workload
Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud)
which is the template that Amazon EC2 uses to launch an instance.
Some are coming from third-party organizations and are available in the AWS Marketplace.
Some are from Amazon.
You can create your own as well.
Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
When you launch an EC2 instance, you must choose an ____and an instance type.
Launching an instance involves specifying configuration parameters including network, security, storage, and user data settings.
Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
- Provides VMs (servers) in the cloud
-Provisions servers in minutes,enabling fast deployments
-Can automatically scale capacity up or down as needed, based on demand
-Enables you to pay only for the capacity that you use (cost-efficient)
-Supports multiple operating systems, including Linux, Windows, and macOS
-Offers hardware flexibility (processor, storage, network, OS, purchase model)
Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud)
Use Case: Secure, resizable virtual servers for any workload size.
Secure, resizable virtual servers suitable for any workload—from development and testing to production at scale.
Key Benefit: Full control over OS and infrastructure.
Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud)
These are example of ____
Family Optimized For Example Use Cases
t (e.g., t3.micro) | Burstable, general-purpose | Low-traffic web apps, dev/test
m (e.g., m5.large) | General-purpose | Balanced apps, small DBs
c (e.g., c5.large) | Compute-optimized | High-performance computing (HPC), batch processing
r (e.g., r5.large) | Memory-optimized | In-memory DBs, caching
p/g (e.g., p3, g4) | GPU-optimized | Machine learning, video processing
i (e.g., i3) | Storage-optimized | High-speed storage apps, NoSQL DBs
intance type
Many EC2 instances use ____ for the boot disk and other storage needs. _____ provides persistent block storage volumes, which means that the data will be persisted.
Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS)
For example：
The data persists on an EC2 instance even when that EC2 instance is in a stopped state.
.Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS)
Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS)
instances provide faster access to an attached Amazon EBS volume by minimizing the I/O contention between the volume and other traffic from the instance.
EBS-optimized
instances can have network connectivity to other resources, such as other __instances, AWS services, and the internet. You can configure the degree of network access to suit your needs and to balance accessibility needs with security requirements. In addition, different instance types provide different levels of network performance.

Use ____ when complete control down tothe OS level is required.
Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud)
can run any type of workload, including web, application, database, and media servers.
