Module 4.1 Review Snapshot
In this module, we've explored the "server you manage" side of AWS compute. Before you move on to storage services, let's recap the core components of a professional EC2 architecture:
- EC2: The virtual server itself.
- Security Groups: The virtual firewall rules (stateful and allow-only).
- EBS: Persistent, durable block storage (the virtual hard drive).
- Instance Store: High-speed, temporary (ephemeral) storage.
- ELB: Spreads traffic across multiple healthy targets.
- Auto Scaling: Automatically adjusts the number of servers to match demand.
- Horizontal Scaling: Adding more servers (Scaling Out).
- Vertical Scaling: Making a server bigger (Scaling Up).
Tip
The Golden Rule: EC2 gives you servers, security groups protect them, EBS stores their important data, load balancers spread traffic, and Auto Scaling changes the instance count when needed.
