AWS: S3 and Lambda
- Describe “The Cloud”
The “cloud” is just a bunch of servers, it’s nothing more than a bunch of servers with predefined tasks and things they can do.
- What is a container (as it relates to computers and servers)?
It is a way to package your application, so that it doesn’t break when you transfer it from a server to another, it also allows servers to run more applications (since it can now run “containers” instead of just applications).
- What is auto-scaling?
It is when the service provider gives your application enough resources to do what it wants do automatically.
- What is bandwidth?
It’s the amount of data allowed in a single second between two components.
- How do cloud providers compute service costs?
Differs depending on who’s the provider, could be fixed monthly or daily or hourly, could be depending on application up-time in hours, or even in seconds and micro-seconds depending on the service used.
