Intro to VPC Peering
AWS VPC Peering is a service provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS) that allows customers to create peering connections between their Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs). It enables direct communication between VPCs in the same AWS account or in different AWS accounts within the same region.
Intro to AWS Route 53
Route 53 is a highly scalable and reliable domain name system (DNS) service offered by Amazon Web Services (AWS) that translates domain names into IP addresses to locate resources on the internet. It offers several features such as integration with other AWS services, a global network of DNS servers, DNS traffic flow management, routing policies, health checks, and DNSSEC.
These features enable users to manage their domain names and routing traffic globally, improve application performance and availability, and provide cryptographic authentication and integrity for DNS data. Overall, Route 53 is a comprehensive and popular choice for managing domain names and routing traffic within the AWS environment.
Intro to AWS Elastic Load Balancing
AWS Application Load Balancer (ALB) is a service that provides advanced load balancing capabilities for HTTP and HTTPS traffic at the application layer (Layer 7) of the OSI model. ALB routes incoming traffic to different targets, such as Amazon EC2 instances, ECS tasks, or Lambda functions, based on rules that you define.
EC2 Instance Types
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instance types are virtual machines that are offered by Amazon Web Services (AWS) to run applications and services in the cloud. Amazon EC2 provides a wide selection of instance types optimized to fit different use cases.
Instance types comprise varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking capacity and give you the flexibility to choose the appropriate mix of resources for your applications. There are six different types of EC2 instances: General Purpose Instances, Compute Optimized Instances, Memory-Optimized Instances, Accelerated Computing Instances, Storage Optimized Instances and HPC Optimized Instances.
AWS Elastic File System
AWS EFS (Elastic File System) is a scalable, fully-managed file storage service provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS). It provides a simple, scalable, and highly available file system for use with Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances and other resources.
With AWS EFS, you can create a file system and mount it to multiple EC2 instances, providing a shared file storage solution. This allows multiple EC2 instances to access the same data simultaneously, making it useful for applications that require shared access to files and data.
Intro to EC2
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) is a web service provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS) that enables users to provision and manage virtual machines (VMs) in the cloud. It provides scalable computing capacity in the cloud, allowing users to quickly and easily launch virtual machines with a variety of operating systems and software configurations.
With EC2, users can choose from a wide range of instance types optimized for different types of workloads, including general-purpose, compute-optimized, memory-optimized, and storage-optimized instances. EC2 also provides several features and capabilities, including the ability to configure security groups and network settings, attach storage volumes, and scale up or down as needed.
