Technology Deployment Methods:

  1. AWS Console Web GUI:

    • Suitable for users who prefer a visual representation of their infrastructure.

    • Ideal for monitoring logs, alerts, and metrics with graphical presentations.

    • Involves extensive navigation and clicking due to numerous menus.

  2. AWS CLI (Command Line Interface):

    • Preferred by engineers who are comfortable with command-line operations.

    • Facilitates easy management of resources with commands that can be copied and pasted.

    • Some resource settings can only be adjusted via the CLI.

  3. AWS SDK (Software Development Kit):

    • Provides APIs in various programming languages for managing and interacting with AWS.

    • Enables applications to create resources within AWS.

Global Infrastructure:

  1. Regions:

    • Geographical locations where AWS services can be deployed.

    • Not all services are available in every region, and pricing may vary.

  2. Availability Zones (AZ):

    • Independent and isolated data centers within regions.
  3. Edge Locations:

    • Smaller points of presence globally to reduce latency by bringing services closer to end-users.

    • Limited services are available, primarily used for CDN (Content Delivery Network) services like CloudFront, Route 53, and AWS WAF.

  4. Local Zones:

    • Extensions of AWS regions located near users in specific metropolitan areas.

    • Feature isolated infrastructure connected to parent regions via high-bandwidth links.

    • Offer a subset of services such as EC2 and EBS.
