ECS correct answerElastic Container Service - Launch Docker containers on AWS - You MUST provision & maintain the infrastructure (the EC2 instance) - AWS takes care of starting/stopping containers - Has integrations w/the app load balancer Fargate correct answer- Launch Docker containers on AWS -DOES NOT need to provision EC2 -SERVERLESS Offering - AWS just runs containers for you based on the CPU/RAM you need ECR correct answerElastic Container Registry - Private docker registry on AWS - this is where you store your docker images so they can be run by ECS or Fargate What's serverless? correct answer- new paradigm in which the developers don't have to manage servers anymore - they just deploy code or functions! - initially FaaS (Fx as a service) - serverless was pioneered by AWS Lambda but now also includes anything that's managed :DB, msg, storage, etc Serverless AWS services correct answerAmazon S3, DynamoDB, Fargate, Lambda Lambda correct answerVirtual functions - no servers to manage! Limited by time - short executions Run on -demand Scaling is automated EC2 vs Lambda Serverless Thumbnail creation & CronJob correct answerimage created in S3 then pushed to Lambda Fx creating a Thumbnail, then pushed to new thumbnail in S3 and Metadata in DynamoDB, ALL serverless integrations. CRON allows you to define schedule and run script, runs on Linux AMI. CloudWath Events EventBridge, trigger every hr for Lambda fx to perform a task Amazon API Gateway correct answerFully managed service for developers to easily create, publish, maintain, monitor, and secure APIs example: building a serverless API SERVERLESS and scalable AWS Batch correct answerBatch (scheduled) vs. continuous - use of EC2 and Spot instances in ECS Batch vs Lambda correct answerLamdba: time limit, limited runtimes, limited temporary disk space, serverless Batch: no time limit, any runtime as long as it's packaged as a Docker image, rely on EBS/instance store for disk space, relies on EC2(can be managed by AWS) Amazon Lightsail correct answerVirtual server, storage, database and networking Low & predictable pricing! simpler alternative to EC2, RDS, ELB, EBs, Route 53... great for people w/little cloud experience Use Cases: - simple web applications - simple websites - Dev/Test env Elastic Beanstalk correct answerPlatform as a service for developers to only deploy code, end to end management of web application - Health monitoring suite available within the service pushes metrics to CloudWatch. - Also checks for app health, publishes health events AWS CodeDeploy correct answerDeploy apps automatically Works w/EC2 and also on-prem servers is a "HYBRID" service AWS CodePipeline correct answerOrchestrate the diff steps to have the code automatically pushed to production - code ->Build->Test->Provision->Deploy - Basis for CICD (Continuous integration & continuous Delivery) Benefits: fully managed and compatible with Code xxx AWS Code Artifact correct answerStoring and retrieving dependencies called "artifact management" - SW packages depend on each other to be built (code dependencies) and new ones are created CodeArtifact is a secure, scalable and cost-effective management for software development - Developers and codebuild can retrieve dependencies straight from CodeArtifact AWS CodeStar correct answerOne stop shop for SW development management - Unified UI to easily manage SW development activities in one place via dashboard AWS Cloud9 correct answera cloud IDE (Integrated Development Environment) for writing, running and debugging code - looks like a code editor - can be used within a web browser - code collaboration in real-time (pair programming) AWS CodeCommit correct answera
