Read the first 7 Cloud Architecture & Deployment Principles flashcards as text

  1. A startup wants to ensure their application remains available even if an entire AWS data center fails. Which architectural approach best achieves this?

    Answer: Deploy across multiple Availability Zones

    Deploying across multiple Availability Zones protects against data center-level failures since each AZ is a physically separate facility.

  2. Which AWS Well-Architected Framework pillar focuses on protecting information, systems, and assets while delivering business value?

    Answer: Security

    The Security pillar covers protecting data, systems, and assets through risk assessments and mitigation strategies.

  3. An e-commerce company expects 10x normal traffic during a holiday sale. Which cloud principle allows their infrastructure to handle this spike cost-effectively?

    Answer: Elasticity

    Elasticity allows infrastructure to automatically scale out to handle peak demand and scale in when demand decreases, optimizing cost.

  4. What does the principle of 'design for failure' mean in AWS cloud architecture?

    Answer: Assuming components will fail and building systems that continue operating

    Designing for failure means assuming any component can fail at any time and architecting systems to continue functioning despite those failures.

  5. A company needs to deploy identical infrastructure across development, staging, and production environments. Which approach aligns with cloud best practices?

    Answer: Use infrastructure as code templates like AWS CloudFormation

    Infrastructure as code using CloudFormation ensures consistent, repeatable deployments across environments and reduces configuration drift.

  6. Which deployment model involves running applications on infrastructure that is shared with other AWS customers?

    Answer: Public cloud

    Public cloud means resources are owned and operated by AWS and delivered over the internet, with infrastructure shared among multiple customers.

  7. A financial services company must keep certain regulated data on-premises while using AWS for other workloads. Which deployment model describes this scenario?

    Answer: Hybrid cloud

    Hybrid cloud combines on-premises infrastructure with public cloud resources, allowing data to remain on-premises for compliance while leveraging cloud for other workloads.
