AWS Cheat Sheet

General Concepts

• Regions and Availability Zones (AZs):

o AWS regions are geographically isolated locations (e.g., us-east-1).

o Each region contains multiple AZs (e.g., us-east-1a, us-east-1b).

• IAM (Identity and Access Management):

o Manage users, groups, roles, and policies.

o Use least privilege principles for security.

Compute Services

• EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud):

o Virtual servers.

o Instance Types: General purpose (e.g., t2, t3), Compute-optimized (e.g., c5), Memory-
optimized (e.g., r5).

o Pricing: On-demand, Reserved, Spot, Savings Plans.

• Lambda:

o Serverless compute.

o Pay only for execution time.

o Supports multiple runtimes (e.g., Python, Node.js).

• Elastic Beanstalk:

o Platform as a Service (PaaS).

o Simplifies deployment of applications.

Storage Services

• S3 (Simple Storage Service):

o Object storage.

o Storage Classes: Standard, Intelligent-Tiering, Glacier.

o Bucket policies and Access Control Lists (ACLs) for permissions.

• EBS (Elastic Block Store):

o Block storage for EC2.

o Types: SSD-backed (gp3, io2) and HDD-backed (st1, sc1).


• EFS (Elastic File System):

o Managed file storage for EC2.

o Supports NFS protocol.

Database Services

• RDS (Relational Database Service):

o Managed SQL databases (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle).

o Multi-AZ for high availability.

o Automated backups.

• DynamoDB:

o NoSQL database.

o Key-value and document-based.

o On-demand or provisioned capacity.

• Aurora:

o High-performance managed relational database.

o Compatible with MySQL and PostgreSQL.

Networking and Content Delivery

• VPC (Virtual Private Cloud):

o Isolated network in AWS.

o Subnets: Public and private.

o Security groups and Network ACLs for access control.

• Route 53:

o DNS and domain registration.

o Supports routing policies: Simple, Weighted, Latency-based.

• CloudFront:

o Content Delivery Network (CDN).

o Distributes content with low latency.

Security and Identity

• IAM:

o Policies: JSON documents defining permissions.


o Roles: For granting AWS service access.

• KMS (Key Management Service):

o Managed encryption key service.

o Integrated with S3, EBS, RDS, etc.

• Cognito:

o User authentication and authorization.

o Supports identity pools and user pools.

Monitoring and Logging

• CloudWatch:

o Monitoring service for AWS resources and applications.

o Metrics, logs, and alarms.

• CloudTrail:

o Logs AWS API calls.

o Useful for auditing.

• Trusted Advisor:

o Provides best practices recommendations.

o Covers cost optimization, security, fault tolerance, etc.

Deployment and Management

• CloudFormation:

o Infrastructure as Code (IaC).

o Use templates (YAML/JSON) to define resources.

• CodePipeline:

o CI/CD service.

o Automates build, test, and deployment processes.

• Elastic Load Balancer (ELB):

o Distributes traffic across instances.

o Types: Application, Network, Gateway.

Cost Management

• Cost Explorer:
o Analyze and visualize AWS costs.

• Budgets:

o Set spending thresholds.

• Savings Plans:

o Reduce costs for compute usage.

Machine Learning

• SageMaker:

o Build, train, and deploy ML models.

Miscellaneous

• SNS (Simple Notification Service):

o Messaging and notifications.

• SQS (Simple Queue Service):

o Queue-based messaging.

• API Gateway:

o Manage APIs.

o Integrates with Lambda, EC2, etc.

Best Practices

• Use multiple AZs and regions for fault tolerance.

• Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for root account.

• Regularly review IAM policies.

• Use cost monitoring tools to prevent unexpected charges.

• Automate infrastructure with tools like CloudFormation or Terraform.
