Day 32: Nailing AWS Interview Questions! ๐ŸŽค๐Ÿš€

Hello tech enthusiasts! Today, we're stepping into the realm of AWS interview questions โ€“ a hot topic that many of you requested! Ready to sharpen those interview skills? Let's dive in and tackle some common AWS questions together! ๐Ÿ’ก

Interview Questions Galore! ๐ŸŒ

1. Name 5 AWS Services and their Use Cases ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ

  • EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud): Scalable virtual servers for running applications.

  • S3 (Simple Storage Service): Object storage for storing and retrieving any amount of data.

  • RDS (Relational Database Service): Managed relational databases in the cloud.

  • Lambda: Serverless computing for executing code without managing servers.

  • IAM (Identity and Access Management): Securely manage access to AWS services.

2. Tools for Sending Logs to the Cloud โ˜๏ธ

Common tools include CloudWatch, CloudTrail, and third-party solutions like ELK Stack.

3. IAM Roles โ€“ Creation and Management ๐Ÿค–

IAM Roles are created and managed through the AWS Management Console or using the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI).

4. Upgrading/Downgrading a System with Zero Downtime โฌ†๏ธโฌ‡๏ธ

Leverage strategies like Blue-Green deployments, canary releases, or rolling deployments to ensure seamless transitions.

5. Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and Its Usage ๐Ÿ—๏ธ

IaC is the practice of managing and provisioning infrastructure through code. Tools like AWS CloudFormation or Terraform are used to automate infrastructure setup.

6. Load Balancer and Scenarios โš–๏ธ

Load balancers distribute incoming network traffic across multiple servers. Scenarios include:

  • Application Load Balancer (ALB): Ideal for HTTP/HTTPS traffic.

  • Network Load Balancer (NLB): Best for TCP/UDP traffic.

  • Classic Load Balancer: Legacy, suitable for basic setups.

7. CloudFormation and Its Purpose ๐ŸŒช๏ธ

AWS CloudFormation is used for provisioning and managing AWS infrastructure as code. It allows you to define and deploy resources in a safe, predictable manner.

8. AWS CloudFormation vs. AWS Elastic Beanstalk ๐Ÿค”

  • CloudFormation: Infrastructure provisioning, customizable.

  • Elastic Beanstalk: Fully managed platform, simplified deployments.

9. Security Attacks in the Cloud and Minimization ๐Ÿšจ

Common attacks include DDoS, data breaches, and unauthorized access. Minimize by using proper encryption, access controls, and monitoring.

10. Recovering EC2 Instance Without Key ๐Ÿ”‘

Yes, you can recover by stopping the instance, detaching the root volume, attaching it to another instance, modifying the authorized_keys file, and reattaching it.

11. Gateway โ€“ Definition ๐Ÿ”—

A gateway is a network node that connects two different networks, facilitating communication between them.

12. Differences Between Amazon RDS, DynamoDB, and Redshift ๐Ÿ”„

  • RDS: Managed relational databases.

  • DynamoDB: NoSQL, fully managed.

  • Redshift: Fully managed data warehouse for analytics.

13. Hosting a Website on S3 โ€“ Yes or No? And Why? ๐ŸŒ

Yes, because S3 offers scalable, low-latency storage with built-in features like versioning and website hosting.
