Module Overview

In this first section, you have been introduced to the following concepts:

1. Regions and Availability Zones:

   • AWS operates in multiple geographic regions around the world, each comprising multiple Availability Zones (AZs). AZs are isolated data centers within a region, designed for redundancy and fault tolerance.
   • 
     

2. EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud):

   • EC2 is AWS's virtual machine service, allowing you to create and manage virtual servers (instances) on the cloud. You can choose instance types, operating systems, and scale as needed.
   • 
     

3. S3 (Simple Storage Service):

   • S3 is AWS's object storage service, used to store and retrieve data such as files, images, and backups. It provides high durability, availability, and scalability.
   • 
     

4. RDS (Relational Database Service):

   • RDS offers managed database services for popular database engines like MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, and SQL Server, simplifying database administration tasks.
   • 
     

5. IAM (Identity and Access Management):

   • IAM is AWS's security service for managing user access and permissions. You can create users, roles, and policies to control who can access AWS resources.
   • 
     

6. VPC (Virtual Private Cloud):

   • VPC allows you to create isolated network environments within AWS. You can configure subnets, security groups, and route tables to control network traffic.
   • 
     

7. Elastic Load Balancing:

   • AWS provides load balancing services to distribute incoming traffic across multiple instances, improving the availability and fault tolerance of applications.
   •
