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

  1. Which AWS Well-Architected Framework pillar focuses on the ability to run and monitor systems to deliver business value and to continually improve supporting processes?

    Answer: Operational Excellence

    The Operational Excellence pillar covers running and monitoring systems, improving processes, and supporting people with procedures and automation.

  2. What does 'Recovery Time Objective (RTO)' measure in disaster recovery planning?

    Answer: The maximum acceptable time to restore service after a failure

    RTO is the maximum acceptable time that a system can be down before recovery must be complete and service restored.

  3. A company wants to ensure that no single person can both approve and deploy code changes to production. Which principle does this implement?

    Answer: Separation of duties

    Separation of duties divides responsibilities among multiple people so no single person has end-to-end control over critical processes, reducing fraud and error risk.

  4. Which architectural pattern uses a fully managed service to handle HTTP requests and route them to backend resources, eliminating the need to manage web server infrastructure?

    Answer: Amazon API Gateway

    Amazon API Gateway is a fully managed service that handles all aspects of accepting and processing API calls without requiring server management.

  5. What is the architectural benefit of using Amazon S3 for static website hosting compared to hosting on EC2?

    Answer: S3 automatically scales without managing servers and costs less for static content

    S3 static hosting automatically scales to any traffic level, requires no server management, and is significantly cheaper than running EC2 for static files.

  6. Which concept describes the practice of distributing incoming network traffic across multiple targets to improve application availability?

    Answer: Load balancing

    Load balancing distributes incoming traffic across multiple healthy targets, preventing any single instance from becoming a bottleneck and improving availability.

  7. A company is evaluating moving to the cloud and wants to understand Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). Which costs are typically ELIMINATED when migrating from on-premises to AWS?

    Answer: Hardware procurement and data center facility costs

    Migrating to AWS eliminates capital expenditure on hardware, data center facilities, power, cooling, and physical security since AWS manages all underlying infrastructure.
