Content Delivery Flashcards

1
Q

CDN

A

Content Delivery Network is a global network of interconnected servers that ensures your website’s content reaches users quickly.
If one server is down or overwhelmed, the CDN automatically reroutes requests to the next closest server.
This ensures your website remains available and performs consistently, regardless of traffic spikes or server issues.

Decoupling means to eliminate the dependencies between components so that different elements of the application can operate independently. By exchanging messages using SQS, components are not dependent on one another and do not expect an immediate response. Removing dependencies between application components allows different parts of the application to fail without bringing down the whole application.

84
What kind of data does Application Discovery Service get?
Creates a server inventory. It also collects configuration data, including operating system versions. It collects capacity utilization data so that you can rightsize your systems in AWS. And inbound and outbound network connections between servers. And that's going to let you understand the dependencies between the different systems.
85
What is an Application Discovery Service agent?
An agent is installed on your virtual machines and physical servers, and the agent gathers the data and sends it all to the Application Discovery Service.
86
When do we use agentless collector?
When we are migrating from VMware only.
87
What is application migration service?
It helps to migrate your applications to AWS from physical servers, virtual servers running on VMware or Microsoft Hyper-V. It also supports migrating applications from other cloud providers, and you can even use it to migrate EC2 instances between AWS regions or between AWS accounts. Now it automatically converts your source servers from physical, virtual, or cloud infrastructure to run natively on AWS.
