1. What is Amazon Web Services (AWS) and what are its core benefits?
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a comprehensive and widely adopted cloud computing platform provided by Amazon. It offers over 200 fully featured services such as computing power, storage options, networking, and databases on a pay-as-you-go basis.
Core benefits of AWS include:

• Scalability: Instantly scale resources up or down based on demand.
• Cost-Effectiveness: Pay only for what you use, with no upfront infrastructure costs.
• Flexibility: Choose the programming languages, operating systems, and databases you prefer.
• Security: Offers extensive security tools, compliance certifications, and encryption.
• Global Reach: Operates in multiple geographic regions and availability zones.

2. Explain the difference between EC2 and S3. How are they used in real-world applications?

• EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud): A web service that provides resizable compute capacity (virtual machines) in the cloud. It is mainly used to host applications, websites, and services.
• S3 (Simple Storage Service): A highly durable and scalable object storage service used for storing and retrieving any amount of data from anywhere.
  Real-World Use Cases:
• EC2 can host a web application backend.
• S3 can store images, videos, and static website content.

3. What is IAM in AWS? How does it help in managing access to AWS resources?
IAM (Identity and Access Management) is a service that enables administrators to securely manage access to AWS resources.

• It allows you to create users, groups, and roles.
• Define granular permissions using policies.
• Supports multi-factor authentication (MFA) for enhanced security.
  IAM helps in applying the principle of least privilege, ensuring users only have the permissions necessary for their tasks.

4. Describe the concept of elasticity and scalability in AWS. How does AWS achieve these features?

• Elasticity refers to the ability to automatically add or remove resources to meet demand.
• Scalability refers to the ability to increase or decrease resources based on workload.
  AWS achieves these through services like Auto Scaling, Elastic Load Balancing, and serverless computing (e.g., AWS Lambda), which respond to real-time metrics to optimize performance and cost.

5. What are security groups in AWS EC2 and how do they differ from Network ACLs?

• Security Groups: Act as virtual firewalls at the instance level. They control inbound and outbound traffic based on rules defined for each group.
• Network ACLs (Access Control Lists): Act at the subnet level and provide an additional layer of security by controlling traffic in and out of subnets.
  Difference:
• Security Groups are stateful (return traffic is automatically allowed).
• Network ACLs are stateless (rules must be defined for both inbound and outbound traffic).

6. How does the AWS pricing model work? What strategies can be used to reduce costs?
AWS operates on a pay-as-you-go model, where users are billed for the actual usage of services like compute time, storage, and data transfer.
Cost reduction strategies include:

• Using Reserved Instances for predictable workloads.
• Taking advantage of Auto Scaling to match capacity with demand.
• Utilizing the Free Tier for initial testing.
• Implementing cost monitoring tools like AWS Budgets and Cost Explorer.

7. Explain the use of Amazon RDS. What are the advantages of using RDS over traditional databases?
Amazon RDS (Relational Database Service) is a managed database service that simplifies the setup, operation, and scaling of relational databases in the cloud.
Advantages:

• Automated backups, patching, and maintenance.
• High availability with Multi-AZ deployments.
• Easy scalability and read replicas.
• Eliminates the need for manual infrastructure management.

8. What is the difference between a public and a private subnet in a VPC? How do you configure them?

• Public Subnet: Has a route to the internet via an Internet Gateway. Instances in this subnet can communicate with the internet.
• Private Subnet: No direct route to the internet. Used for internal applications and databases.
  Configuration Steps:
• Create a VPC and subnets.
• Attach an Internet Gateway.
• Set route tables to direct traffic accordingly.
• Associate subnets with appropriate route tables.

9. What tools or services does AWS provide for monitoring and logging?
AWS provides a robust suite of monitoring and logging tools:

• Amazon CloudWatch: Monitors resources and applications in real time, offering dashboards, alarms, and metrics.
• AWS CloudTrail: Records API calls and user activity across your AWS environment.
• AWS Config: Tracks resource configuration changes and compliance.
• VPC Flow Logs: Captures IP traffic data for network interfaces.

10. What is Auto Scaling and how does it work with Load Balancers in AWS?
Auto Scaling automatically adjusts the number of EC2 instances based on demand, ensuring optimal performance and cost-efficiency.
Elastic Load Balancers (ELB) distribute incoming traffic across multiple instances.
Working Together:

• ELB balances the traffic to multiple instances.
• Auto Scaling adds or removes instances based on metrics like CPU usage or request count.
  This ensures that your application remains available and responsive even during traffic spikes or drops.
