200, yes

Hint 2

Far more than would be needed in most situations

Front 3

Back 6

10, yes

Front 7

What is the default maximum number of Network Access Control Lists in a VPC? Can it be increased?

Back 7

200, no

Hint 7

The number is not so high because there is a network performance hit with each rule

20, yes up to 40 per direction

Front 9

Back 10

50, yes up to 100

Front 11

What is the default maximum number of BGP advertised routes per route table (propagated routes)? Can this be increased?

Back 11

100, no

Hint 11

This is per direction

Front 12

What is the default maximum number of inbound or outbound rules per Security Group? Can this be increased?

Back 12

50, yes but the multiple of rules and security groups per network interface cannot exceed 250

Front 13

What is the default maximum number of Security Groups per network interface? Can this be increased?

Back 13

5, yes but the multiple of security groups per interface and rules per security group cannot exceed 250

Hint 13

It is like a virtual firewall

Front 45

EC2 Instance Purchasing Options

Back 45

1) On-Demand

2) Reserved

3) Spot

4) Dedicated instances

5) Dedicated hosts

Hint 45

There are 5

Front 46

EC2 Instance Purchasing Option: On-Demand (describe)

Back 46

pay as you go, can be launched any time, good fit for development and testing

Front 47

EC2 Instance Purchasing Option: Reserved (describe)

Back 47

Purchase for a set period of time for a reduced cost. 1 or 3 year time frames. Best for long term, predictable workloads

Front 48

EC2 Instance Purchasing Option: Reserved (describe payment options in order of greatest to least discounting)

Back 48

In order of greatest to least discount:

All up front

partial up front

no up front

Front 49

EC2 Instance Purchasing Option: Spot (describe)

Back 49

Bid for unused EC2 resources

No guarantee for how long they will be available

Price based on supply and demand

Front 50

What does the EC2 option for Dedicated Hosts offer above Dedicated Instances?

Back 50

Additional visibility and control of the physical host

Front 51

What is the EC2 "User Data" used for?

Back 51

Storing commands which will be run when the instance boots up for the first time

Front 52

What is the difference between an Elastic Beanstalk web server and worker environment?

Back 52

A web server environment is used for traditional web apps, while a worker environment is used for apps with SQS back end processing
