Q

The 2types of S3 encryption are

A

1) Server-side Encryption (default)
2)Client-side Encryption

18
Q

Server-side Encryption occurs when

A

The server encrypts the file after receiving it

19
Q

Client-side Encryption occurs when

A

The user encrypts the file before uploading it

20
Q

IAM Access Analyzer for S3

A
  • Ensures that only intended people have access to your S3 buckets
  • Example: publicly accessible bucket, bucket shared with other AWS account…
  • Evaluates S3 Bucket Policies, S3 ACLs, S3 Access Point Policies
  • Powered by IAM Access Analyzer
21
Q

AWS Snow Family includes

A

Highly-secure, portable devices to collect and process data at the edge, and migrate data into and out of AWS

22
Q

The 3 Snow Family devices for Data Migration are

A

1) Snowcone
2) Snowball Edge
3) Snowmobile

23
Q

The 2 Snow Family devices for Edge computing are

A

1) Snowcone
2) Snowball Edge

24
Q

Snowball Edge is a

A
  • Physical data transport solution: move TBs or PBs of data in or out
    of AWS
  • Alternative to moving data over the network (and paying network
    fees)
  • Pay per data transfer job * Provide block storage and Amazon S3
    -compatible object storage
25
Snowball Edge Storage Optimized provides
80 TB of HDD capacity for block volume and S3 compatible object storage
26
Snowball Edge Compute Optimized provides
42 TB of HDD or 28TB NVMe capacity for block volume and S3 compatible object storage
27
AWS Snowcone & Snowcone SSD are
* Small, portable computing, anywhere, rugged & secure, withstands harsh environments * Light (4.5 pounds, 2.1 kg) * Device used for edge computing, storage, and data transfer and * Can be sent back to AWS offline, or connect it to internet and use AWS DataSync to send data
28
The Snowcone provides
8 TB of HDD Storage
29
The Snowcone SSD provides
14 TB of SSD Storage
30
AWS Snowmobile allows for
* Transfer exabytes of data (1 EB = 1,000 PB = 1,000,000 TBs) * Each Snowmobile has 100 PB of capacity (use multiple in parallel) * High security: temperature controlled, GPS, 24/7 video surveillance * Better than Snowball if you transfer more than 10 PB
31
Snow Family – Usage Process
1. Request Snowball devices from the AWS console for delivery 2. Install the snowball client / AWS OpsHub on your servers 3. Connect the snowball to your servers and copy files using the client 4. Ship back the device when you’re done (goes to the right AWS facility) 5. Data will be loaded into an S3 bucket 6. Snowball is completely wiped
32
What is Edge Computing?
Process data while it’s being created on an edge location
33
An edge location is an area lacking in
Internet access and/or computing power
34
Use cases of Edge Computing
* Preprocess data * Machine learning at the edge * Transcoding media streams
35
AWS OpsHub is
A software you install on your computer / laptop to manage your Snow Family Device
36
Snowball Edge Pricing
You pay for device usage and data transfer out of AWS
37
The two options for Snowball Edge pricing are
1) On-Demand 2) Committed Upfront
38
AWS Storage Cloud Native Options
Block File Object
39
AWS Storage Gateway is the
*Bridge between on-premise data and cloud data in S3 *Hybrid storage service to allow on- premises to seamlessly use the AWS Cloud
40
Amazon S3 – Summary
* Buckets vs Objects: global unique name, tied to a region * S3 security: IAM policy, S3 Bucket Policy (public access), S3 Encryption * S3 Websites: host a static website on Amazon S3 * S3 Versioning: multiple versions for files, prevent accidental deletes * S3 Replication: same-region or cross-region, must enable versioning * S3 Storage Classes: Standard, IA, 1Z-IA, Intelligent, Glacier (Instant, Flexible, Deep) * Snow Family: import data onto S3 through a physical device, edge computing * OpsHub: desktop application to manage Snow Family devices * Storage Gateway: hybrid solution to extend on-premises storage to S3
