Cloud Concepts (24%)a. Define the AWS Cloud and its value propositionAWS Cloud: The AWS Cloud provides a global network of data centers (Regions and Availability Zones) to deliver a wide range of cloud services. These include computing power, storage options, networking capabilities, databases, machine learning, and analytics.Value Proposition:Elasticity: Automatically scale resources based on demand.On-demand pricing: Pay for only what you use.Global Reach: With AWS, you can deploy applications anywhere in the world.High Availability: AWS infrastructure is designed to provide reliability, scalability, and fault tolerance.b. Identify the different AWS Global Infrastructure Regions and Availability ZonesRegions: AWS operates in multiple geographic regions worldwide. A Region is a physical location around the world where AWS clusters data centers.Availability Zones: Each Region has multiple Availability Zones (AZs), which are distinct data centers engineered to be isolated from failures in other AZs. This ensures high availability and fault tolerance.Edge Locations: Used for content delivery via Amazon CloudFront, they reduce latency by caching data closer to users.c. Understand the basic AWS Cloud architectural principlesScalability: Scale resources up or down based on demand.Elasticity: Automatically adjust the capacity as per workload needs.Fault tolerance: Ensure applications remain functional even in case of a failure.Cost efficiency: Design systems that optimize cost by using the right resources at the right scale.d. Describe the AWS Shared Responsibility ModelAWS is responsible for the security of the cloud (hardware, software, networking, and facilities).Customers are responsible for the security in the cloud (data, applications, identity management, etc.).e. Explain the benefits of cloud computingCost Efficiency: Reduce capital expenses by avoiding purchasing and maintaining hardware.Agility: Quickly deploy and scale applications to meet business needs.Security: Use robust security features to protect data and applications.Flexibility: Run applications with various configurations in a secure, reliable environment.2. Security and Compliance (30%)a. Recognize the importance of security in the cloudCloud security is critical to protecting sensitive data, maintaining privacy, and ensuring compliance. The shared responsibility model dictates that customers must secure their data and applications.b. Identify AWS security and compliance services and featuresAWS Shield: Protection from DDoS attacks.AWS WAF: Web Application Firewall for filtering incoming traffic.AWS KMS: Key Management Service to manage encryption keys.AWS CloudTrail: For auditing and tracking API calls in your AWS environment.Amazon GuardDuty: Intelligent threat detection service.c. Understand the AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) serviceIAM enables you to manage access to AWS services and resources securely. You can create and manage users, groups, and permissions.Use IAM roles for securely granting access to AWS resources without the need for managing long-term credentials.d. Comprehend AWS compliance programs and certificationsCompliance Programs: AWS offers a comprehensive suite of compliance programs such as PCI DSS, HIPAA, FedRAMP, SOC 1, 2, and 3.Certifications: AWS complies with industry standards, ensuring data protection and privacy.e. Describe AWS's best practices for securityImplement strong access control using IAM policies.Encrypt data at rest and in transit.Use VPC to isolate and secure your network.Regularly audit and monitor your AWS environment with CloudTrail and GuardDuty.3. Technology (34%)a. Define the core AWS services and their use casesCompute: EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) for scalable compute capacity, Lambda for serverless functions, Elastic Beanstalk for easy app deployment.Storage: S3 for object storage, EBS for block storage, Glacier for archiving.Databases: RDS for relational databases, DynamoDB for NoSQL, Redshift for data warehousing.Networking: VPC for creating isolated networks, Route 53 for DNS, CloudFront for content delivery.b. Explain the AWS Well-Architected FrameworkThis framework provides best practices to design and operate reliable, secure, efficient, and cost-effective systems in the cloud.Operational Excellence: Focus on monitoring and automating changes.Security: Implement security measures at all layers.Reliability: Design systems that recover from failures and meet business continuity needs.Performance Efficiency: Use cloud resources efficiently.Cost Optimization: Control where the money goes, and only pay for what is needed.c. Identify the basics of AWS deployment and operational practicesAutomation: Use AWS tools like CloudFormation to automate resource deployment.Monitoring: Leverage CloudWatch and CloudTrail to monitor resources and logs.Scaling: Auto Scaling groups to adjust resources based on demand.d. Understand AWS Cloud Economics, including cost and billing conceptsAWS offers different pricing models for its services: On-demand, Reserved, and Spot pricing.Cost management services like AWS Cost Explorer and AWS Budgets help track and optimize costs.TCO Calculator: Estimate the total cost of ownership when migrating to AWS.e. Recognize the essential AWS Cloud services used in the computing, storage, and networking domainsCompute: EC2, LambdaStorage: S3, EBS, GlacierNetworking: VPC, Route 53, Direct Connect4. Billing and Pricing (12%)a. Understand AWS pricing models and pricing structuresOn-demand pricing: Pay for what you use, with no long-term commitments.Reserved Instances: Commit to use a certain instance type for a term (1 or 3 years) to get a significant discount.Spot Instances: Use spare compute capacity at lower costs, but with the risk that they can be terminated.b. Estimate AWS costs for various services and usage scenariosUse the AWS Pricing Calculator to estimate costs based on services and usage patterns.Consider factors like region, instance type, storage size, and data transfer when estimating costs.c. Identify methods to control and optimize AWS costsUse AWS Budgets to track and manage costs and usage.Set up alerts for when your costs exceed a certain threshold.Optimize resource usage with Auto Scaling, reserved instances, and Spot Instances.d. Describe the AWS Free TierAWS offers a Free Tier that allows you to explore and try a limited selection of AWS services for free within specified usage limits for a year.Examples include 750 hours of EC2 usage per month for the first 12 months, 5 GB of S3 storage, and 1 million requests per month with AWS Lambda.
