Let's get Started
Cloud computing, also known as serverless computing, is a technique that uses the
internet to store and manage data on remote servers, and then allows users to access
the data via the internet. Cloud computing customers do not own physical
properties; they rent them out to third-party service providers. 
Cloud services include on-demand self-service, broad network connectivity, resource
sharing, and elasticity. Cloud computing has been so successful because of its
simplicity in its usage. They are a cost-effective solution for enterprises. Optimal
Server Utilisation, On-demand cloud services (satisfying clients), and Dynamic
Scaling, among other things, are all included in this package. Google Cloud, for
example, includes a suite of public cloud services offered by Google. 
Types of Cloud:
There are three cloud types:  Public,  Private, and Hybrid.
The public cloud is where services provided by third-party vendors are available
online.
Private clouds are managed in-house or by third parties exclusively for a
particular business.
A hybrid cloud combines the features of both public and private clouds.
The sensitivity of the data and applications, industry certifications and standards,
and other factors may determine whether to run services on public or private clouds. 
What is AWS?

Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS) provides cloud computing platforms and APIs to
individuals, organisations, and governments. These web services offer distributed
computing processing capacity and so ware tools via AWS server farms. Amazon
Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), on which users can create a virtual cluster of computers
at any time, provides computing resources that mimic almost all of a real computer's
attributes, including hardware central processing units (CPUs) and graphic
processing units (GPUs). It includes local/RAM memory, hard-disk/SSS storage,
operating systems, networking, and preloaded application so ware such as web
servers, databases, and customer relationship management (CRM).

 AWS Cheat Sheet

Service Description

S3 is a distributed database that is connected to

every device in the network through the Internet.
It uses a peer-to-peer model, meaning that data
is not stored on a central server. Instead, data is
AWS S3 stored directly between the user and the service
that the user is trying to access. This provides a
faster and more reliable service than a
traditional database would because it does not
have to be transferred when a change is made.

AWS Backup automates the entire backup

process from storage to delivery — removing the
need to manually input and process backup
AWS
data. It provides end-to-end encryption of your
Backup
backup data to help keep your data secure. AWS
Backup is a highly efficient and cost-effective way
to protect your business data.

Amazon Elastic Block Store provides block-level

storage volumes. These storage volumes are
created and managed from the web service's
dashboard and can be used to backup your
application data and store your logs. By
Amazon providing storage volumes for your applications,
EBS you can create a controlled, low-cost way to
backup your application data and store your
application logs in the cloud. You can also use
the Elastic Block Store as a way to automatically
rotate your application data to prevent data loss
in the case of a hard or so ware failure.

7.   Migration & Transfer services

Page 15 © Copyright by Interviewbit

 AWS Cheat Sheet

Service Description

To start using AWS, you need to first build a case

for why the service is useful to your organisation.
Migration An easy way to do that is to build a Migration
Evaluator Evaluator, which is a detailed analysis of your
current infrastructure and recommendations for
how to best move forward.

The migration hub tracks each app's effort to

migrate to a new solution, such as a new
solution release or a new partner. The migration
hub not only tracks the app’s progress toward its
goal, but records each action taken to get the
app to the new solution, such as uploading a
new solution package.
Migration
Migration Hub includes an easy-to-use
Hub
dashboard for monitoring the progress of each
app’s migrations. Once you’ve set up the
dashboard, you can view the status of each
migration and any action taken to get the app to
the new solution. You can also view a list of all
partners the app is connected to and view the
progress of each partner’s migration.

The service makes it easier for enterprises to

collect data, analyse it, and create insight with
Applic- real-time dashboarding that visualises data-
ation driven decisions. By using AI and machine
Discovery learning to predict user behaviour, businesses
Service can save time and money by eliminating
unplanned outages and rework caused by
changes to app or IT servers.

Service Description

It was designed to solve the common problem

of building mobile apps with a low level of
abstraction. This reduces the need to manually
code up elaborate logic and keeps the focus on
developing apps using high-level language
CDK
features. Familiarity with the syntax of your
favorite language increases the ease of use of
your app, as well as its chances of adoption by
users. The more familiar your audience with
your app, the more likely they are to install it.

It is a free and open source so ware

distribution, which can be used for both desktop
and mobile apps. The goal of the project is to
make it as compact and lightweight as possible,
Corretto while at the same time striking a balance
between speed and power. The project is led by

Analytics Athena is a free service with

no ads or hidden charges.
You can use this service to
analyze your data in real-
time or query past data
with a predefined set of
rules. You can also run
Athena reports and drill-downs that
let you explore data in
more detail. When using
Athena, don’t limit yourself
to looking at the numbers.
Think about what you’re
analyzing and find a way to
make sense of the data.

EMR is a data management

engine that helps
enterprises collect and
analyze data from their
data warehouses and other
sources. It provides a
common platform for data
EMR
collection and analysis, and
can be used to create real-
time and historical reports.
The term EMR is also used
to refer to any so ware or
platform that provides a
similar set of benefits.

12.   Serverless

Page 25 © Copyright by Interviewbit

 AWS Cheat Sheet

Category Service Description

Compute Lambda is a cloud-based

service that functions as a
sort of middleman. Data
flows through the
middleman and is processed
at a data centre of your
choice. The code running on
the server is only responsible
for processing request data,
not generating it. This code
is called the “backend” and
is what most people think of
when they think of
Lambda
“serverless.” It’s not a
“server” at all. The code
running on the serverless
platform is purely
“blackbox” in that it does
not know what data it
receives and it does not
manage or store any of the
data it receives or emit any
data of its own. The backend
code receives requests from
clients and processes them
accordingly.

Amazon CloudFront provides

Lambda@Edge, which allows
you to run code closer to
Lambda-
users of your application,
@Edge
which improves
performance and reduces
latency.
