placement group -> instances whitin 1 availability zone, good throughput,

good internet speed 10 gbps between instances

ebs volume -> it will persist even f ec2 instance is terminated if specified so
during instance creation from console or cli 'You can control whether an EBS
root volume is deleted when its associated instance is terminated

To help you manage your Amazon EC2 instances, you can assign your own
metadata in the form of tags

Can you attach an EBS volume to more than one EC2 instance at the same
time? No.

Power User Access allows ________.

Access to all AWS services except the management of groups and users
within IAM.
The auto-assign public IP address feature for this instance is disabled
because you specified multiple network interfaces. Public IPs can only be
assigned to instances with one network interface. To re-enable the auto-
assign public IP address feature, please specify only the eth0 network
interface.

You can also attach additional EBS volumes after launching an instance, but
not instance store volumes

IOPS
The requested number of I/O operations per second that the volume can
support. For Provisioned IOPS (SSD) volumes, you can provision up to 50
IOPS per GiB. For General Purpose (SSD) volumes, baseline performance is 3
IOPS per GiB, with a minimum of 100 IOPS and a maximum of 10000 IOPS.
General Purpose (SSD) volumes under 1000 GiB can burst up to 3000 IOPS

sg:
Determines the traffic that can reach your instance. Specify a single IP
address, or an IP address range in CIDR notation (for example,
203.0.113.5/32). If connecting from behind a firewall, you'll need the IP
address range used by the client computers. You can specify the name or ID
of another security group in the same region. To specify a security group in
another AWS account (EC2-Classic only), prefix it with the account ID and a
forward slash, for example: 111122223333/OtherSecurityGroup.
NACLs are stateless and Security groups are stateful

Elastic IP addresses (EIPs) are designed to be attached/detached and moved from

one EC2 instance to another. They are a great solution for keeping a static IP
address and moving it to a new instance if the current instance fails. This will reduce
or eliminate any downtime uses may experience.

AMIs are what dictate the instance's operating system and other software settings.
It is the "instance type" which determines the instances virtual hardware.

If you are running an application in a production environment and must add a new
EBS volume with data from a snapshot, what should you do to avoid degraded
performance during the volume's first use?
A: Initialize the data by readying each storage block on the volume

IOPS are measured in what size "chunks?" 256 KB

Cross-zone load balancing has not been enabled.

Modify the auto-assign public IP setting on the subnet. The auto assigning of IP
addresses resides in the settings of the subnet you are provisioning the instances in.
By default, new subnets have auto-assign IP addresses disabled.

The S3 infrequent access (S3-IA) storage class has object durability of

99.999999999% and availability of 99.90%

When you suspend versioning, S3 retains all current and existing past versions.
However, all new objects will overwrite the existing current version. No new
versions will be created.
