Important AWS Interview Questions and Answers

 AWS Interview Questions and Answers

1. What is auto-scaling?

Auto-scaling is a feature of AWS which allows you to configure and automatically provision and spin-up new instances without the need for your intervention.

2. What are the different types of cloud services?

  • Software as a Service (SaaS).
  • Data as a Service (DaaS).
  • Platform as a Service (PaaS).
  • and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS).

    3. What is Amazon S3?

    Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) is an object storage with a simple web service interface to store and retrieve any amount of data from anywhere on the web.

    4. How can you send request to Amazon S3?

    You can send request by using the REST API or the AWS SDK wrapper libraries that wrap the underlying Amazon S3 REST API.

    5. What is Geo Restriction in CloudFront?

    Geo restriction, also known as geoblocking, is used to prevent users in specific geographic locations from accessing content that you’re distributing through a CloudFront web distribution.

    6. What is a Server less application in AWS?

    The AWS Serverless Application Model (AWS SAM) extends AWS CloudFormation to provide a simplified way of defining the Amazon API Gateway APIs, AWS Lambda functions, and Amazon DynamoDB tables needed by your serverless application.

    7. What is the use of Amazon ElastiCache?

    Amazon ElastiCache is a web service that makes it easy to deploy, operate, and scale an in-memory data store or cache in the cloud.

    8. Explain how the buffer is used in Amazon web services?

    The buffer is used to make the system more robust to manage traffic or load by synchronizing different component.

    9. Differentiate between stopping and terminating an instance

    When an instance is stopped, the instance performs a normal shutdown and then transitions to a stopped state. When an instance is terminated, the instance performs a normal shutdown, then the attached Amazon EBS volumes are deleted unless the volume’s deleteOnTermination attribute is set to false.

    10. Is it possible to change the private IP addresses of an EC2 while it is running/stopped in a VPC?

    The primary private IP address cannot be changed. Secondary private addresses can be unassigned, assigned or moved between interfaces or instances at any point.

    11. Explain what is AMI?

    AMI stands for Amazon Machine Image. It’s a template that provides the information (an operating system, an application server and applications) required to launch an instance, which is a copy of the AMI running as a virtual server in the cloud. You can launch instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

    12. Mention what is the relation between an instance and AMI?

    From a single AMI, you can launch several of instances.
    An instance can explain the hardware of the host computer used for your instance.
    Each instance type produces different compute and memory capabilities.
    Once you launch an instance, it seems like a traditional host, and we can communicate with it as we would with any computer.

    13. What does an AMI include?

    An AMI includes the following things:
  • A template for the root volume for the incident
  • Launch authority decide which AWS accounts can avail the AMI to launch instances
  • A block device mapping that determines the volumes to attach to the instance when it is launched
  • 14. Mention what are the security best practices for Amazon EC2?

    Amazon EC2 best practices security are as follows
  • Use AWS identity and access management to control access to your AWS resources
  • Restrict access by allowing only trusted hosts or networks to access ports on your instance
  • Review the rules in your security groups regularly
  • Only open up authority that you require
  • Deliberate password-based login, for instance, launched from your AMI
  • 15. While connecting to your instance what are the possible connection issues one might face?

    The errors one might encounter while connecting instances are:
  • Connection timed out
  • User key not identified by the server
  • Host key not found, permission denied
  • Unprotected private key file
  • Server refused our key or No supported authentication method available
  • Error using MindTerm on Safari Browser
  • Error using Mac OS X RDP Client
  • 16. Explain what is T2 instances?

    T2 instances are designed to provide moderate baseline performance and the capability to burst to higher performance as required by workload.

    17. Mention what are the key components of AWS?

    The key components of AWS are:
  • Route 53: A DNS web service
  • Simple E-mail Service: It permits sending e-mail using RESTFUL API call or via regular SMTP
  • Identity and Access Management: It provides enhanced security and identity management for your AWS account
  • Simple Storage Device or (S3): A storage machine and provides AWS service
  • Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2): It provides on-demand computing resources for hosting applications. It is very useful in case of incalculable workloads
  • Elastic Block Store (EBS): It produces persistent storage volumes that combine EC2 to allow persist data past the lifespan of a single EC2
  • CloudWatch: To monitor AWS resources, it permits administrators to look and assemble key, one can set a warning alarm in case of trouble.

    18. Can I vertically scale an Amazon instance? How do you do it?

    Yes. Spinup a new larger instance than the one you are running, then pause that instance to detach the root ebs volume from this server and discard. After that, stop the live instance and detach its root volume. Note the unique device ID and attach that root volume to the new server, and start again. This way you will have scaled vertically.

    19. How many buckets can be create in AWS by default?

    By default, 100 buckets can be created.

    20. What are the various AMI design options?

    Fully Baked AMI, JeOS (just enough operating system) AMI, and Hybrid AMI.
