In this lesson, we’ll summarize what we’ve learned in this chapter and test our knowledge of the AWS compute services with a short quiz.
Summary
In this chapter, we learned about the different AWS compute services. Here’s a summary of the key takeaways from this chapter:
Amazon EC2 provides resizable computing capacity in the cloud. It allows users to run virtual servers, known as instances, for various computing tasks.
EC2 allows running virtual servers, known as instances, of different types based on the requirements.
Each instance can be pre-configured using an AMI template of software configurations.
EC2 also provisions different Network and storage options.
Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) is a fully managed container orchestration service, and it requires a task definition to specify how containers should be configured, including image, CPU, and other requirements.
The instantiation of a task definition is known as a Task, and a logical group of infrastructure is known as a cluster that runs the task or service (used to maintain a specified number of tasks).
