Define: AWS Iaas Define and describe: Free redundancy rapid scalability server failover maintainability Explain each lesson and determine whether you agree or not with each one. May 13 az

1) Define: AWS- The Amazon Web Services (AWS) are a collection of remote computing services (also calledweb services) that together make up a cloud computing platform, offered over the Internet byAmazon.com. The most central and well-known of these services are Amazon EC2 and Amazon S3. Iaas - infrastructure-as-a-service; a way to deploy a less reliable server, quickly and without human intervention. 2) Define and describe: Free redundancy- re-deploying your application in another data center or cloud service using on-demand resources instead of having an idle redundant data center. Rapid scalability- Scalability approach that doesn't require access to AMIs that is stored on S3 or EBS. Instead, it uses the on-demand resources. This is when the system can withstand changes in transaction volume without major changes. Server failover- Virtual servers fail more frequently that physical servers, and when they do, there is less ability to recover them. Treat server failover the same way as scalability, just bring up a new server. Maintainability- Use a fully automated deployment and not a server configuration that is created manually to make it maintainability. Since, when a server configuration that is created manually and saved to a "golden image" has numerous problems such as: only the person who built it knows what is there, so if that person is gone, it can be time consuming to re-configure it. On the other hand, a fully automated deployment is not only a maintainable process, it also serves as documentation. 3) Explain each lesson and determine whether you agree or not with each one. Wrong lesson #1 The lesson where the infrastructure of the cloud is either not ready for its time to shine, or never will be. This is the lesson that explains that the infrastructure is still carried out on physical servers, just in remote areas where they are held in the physical data center in large numbers. These physical server

Read Heads-up. Describe two guidelines from each section that you think are relevant advice. May 9 kuni

Share with care Your online actions can have real-world consequences. The pictures you post and the words and the words you write can affect the people in your life. Think before you post and share. The advice, mainly for children, is that before you click to send email or when you're ready to post or send a message or a photo, download a file, game or program, or shop for something-stop for a second. Think about things like: Do you know and trust who you're dealing with-or what you're sharing or downloading? How will you feel if your information ends up somewhere you didn't intend? Get someone's okay before you share photos or videos they're in. Online photo albums are great for storing and sharing pictures of special events, and camera phones make it easy to capture every moment. Stop and think about your own privacy-and other people's-before you share photos and videos online. It can be embarrassing, unfair and even unsafe to send or post photos and videos without getting permission from the people in them. Interact With Tact Avatars are people too. When you're playing a game or exploring an online world where you can create a character and interact with others, remember real people are behind those characters on the screen. Respect their feelings just INTERACT WITH TACT like you would in person. Remember that your character or avatar is a virtual version of you-what does it tell people about you and your interests? Speak up. If you see something inappropriate on a social networking site or in a game or chat room, let the website know and tell an adult you trust. Using Report Abuse links can help keep sites fun for everyone. The Protection Connection Learn about social mapping. Many mobile phones have GPS technology, and there are applications that allow you to find your friends-and allow them to find you. Use GPS and social mapping apps only with people you know personally and trust. Take advantage of privacy features in
