AWS Cloud Concepts & Architecture Fundamentals Flashcards
AWS Cloud Practitioner CLF-C02 Flashcards
| Front | Back |
| Define fault tolerance | A system designed to continue functioning even if one or more components fail |
| Explain the AWS Shared Responsibility Model | AWS manages the security OF the cloud while customers manage security IN the cloud |
| Explain the concept of high availability | A system designed with minimal downtime using redundancy across multiple resources |
| Name the five pillars of the AWS Well-Architected Framework | Operational Excellence Security Reliability Performance Efficiency and Cost Optimization |
| Name the main components of AWS global infrastructure | AWS Regions Availability Zones and Edge Locations |
| What is an Availability Zone (AZ)? | A distinct data center within a region engineered for fault isolation |
| What is an AWS Region? | A physical location around the world where AWS clusters data centers |
| What is an Edge Location? | A site where AWS deploys CloudFront servers to cache and deliver content closer to users |
| What is cloud computing? | On-demand delivery of IT resources over the internet with pay-as-you-go pricing |
| What is elasticity in cloud computing? | The ability to automatically scale resources up or down based on demand |
| What is horizontal scaling? | Adding more instances to a system to handle increased load |
| What is the AWS Well-Architected Framework? | A set of best practices designed around five key pillars for building secure and efficient systems |
| What is the principle of least privilege? | Granting only the minimum permissions required to perform a task |
| What is vertical scaling? | Increasing the size or capacity of a single instance to handle higher load |
| Why is loose coupling important in cloud architectures? | It allows components to operate independently improving flexibility and fault tolerance |
This deck focuses on essential cloud computing concepts, including the AWS global infrastructure, the shared responsibility model, and basic architecture principles for the CLF-C02 exam.
