Elastic Cloud Compute – EC2
Elastic Compute Cloud – EC2 provides scalable computing power in AWS
Elastic Compute Cloud – EC2 eliminates the need for upfront hardware investments so that applications can be developed and deployed more quickly.
It can be used to launch virtual servers of any size, configure security and network, and manage storage.
This allows you to scale up and down to meet changing requirements or spikes of popularity, reducing the need for forecasting traffic.
EC2 instances – Virtual computing environments
Amazon Machine Images (AMIs), preconfigured templates that package the bits required for a server (including an operating system)
Types of instances – There are many configurations of CPU, memory and storage for the instances.
Key Pairs – Secure login information for the instances. AWS stores the public key and you store your private key in a safe place.
Instance Store Volumes – Temporary data stored in instance store volumes that are deleted when your instance is terminated or stopped. Also known as
EBS Volumes – Persistent storage volumes used to store data using Elastic Block Store (EBS).
Regions and Availability zones – Multiple physical locations of the resources such as instances or EBS volumes
Security Groups – A firewall that allows you to specify the protocols, ports and source IP ranges that can reach the instances
Dynamic cloud computing: Elastic IP addresses and static IP addresses

AWS EC2 Troubleshooting Questions
Questions are collected via the Internet. The answers are marked according to my knowledge and understanding (which may differ from yours).
AWS services are constantly updated and the answers and questions may be out of date soon. So make sure to research accordingly.
AWS exam questions cannot be updated to keep up with AWS updates. This means that even if the underlying feature has been changed, the question may not be updated.
They are open to further discussion, feedback, and correction. Instead, the Amazon EC2 AMI Tools are used to manage permissions.
Command-line tools for the Amazon EC2 webservice
These are a set graphical tools that can be used to manage EC2 instances.
