6. Where are your own private subnets located in AWS?

d. VPC

Amazon virtual private cloud is a logically isolated section of the AWS, where you can create an IP address range, the creation of subnets and manage routing tables.

1. Name at least three cloud characteristics as defined by NIST.

NIST or National Institute of Standards and Technology is an information technology laboratory

As per NIST, there are five essential characteristics for cloud computing

1. On-demand self-service
2. Broad network access
3. Resource pooling
4. Rapid elasticity
5. Measured Service

2. Name the three major “as a Service” models of the cloud.

1. Software as a Service (SaaS): The provider's application running on the cloud infrastructure
2. Platform as a Service (Paas): the user's application is deployed on the cloud infrastructure and infrastructure including network, servers, OS or storage is managed by the provider
3. Infrastructure as a Service (Iaas): user can deploy arbitrary software including OS and application and does not have control over the underlying infrastructure

3. Name the four cloud deployment models.

1. Private cloud: Cloud infrastructure is completely owned by the organization
2. Community cloud: Cloud infrastructure shared by multiple organizations
3. Public cloud: Cloud infrastructure made available to a large number of public organizations
4. Hybrid cloud: composition of one or more models

4. What was the first serverless compute service of AWS?

AWS Lambda

its a serverless compute service where you need pay only for the use and not for the idle time

5. What AWS feature permits you to create persistent storage volumes for use by EC2 instances (including boot)?

Elastic Block Store (EBS)

This provides persistent block storage volumes for use with EC2 instances in the AWS Cloud.

6. What monitoring tool permits you to carefully observe specific API calls to AWS resources?

CloudTrail

it is the AWS web service that records AWS API calls for your account and delivers log files to you.
