Leave a CommentAWS uses public–key cryptography to encrypt and decrypt login information.
Using Public–key cryptography, AWS process will encrypt the data and then the recipient uses the private key to decrypt the data.
The combination of public and private keys are known as a key pair. You will use this key pair to securely access your instances using a private key. You can create a key pair using the Amazon EC2 console or the command line. After you create a key pair, you can use it when you launch your instance.
Steps to create key pair are straight forward.

Every year AWS add more new services to its portfolio. AWS services can be categorized into various key categories:
COMPUTE
Amazon EC2
- web service that provides secure, resizable compute capacity in the cloud
- allows you to obtain and configure capacity with minimal friction
- reduces the time required to obtain and boot new server instances (called Amazon EC2 instances) to minutes, allowing you to quickly scale capacity, both up and down, as your computing requirements change.
- pay only for capacity that you actually use
- EC2 instance types:
Few more terms and discussion topics specific to Amazon Web Services (AWS) are listed below:
AWS Regions
Simply put a physical location in the world where AWS has Availability Zones
AWS Availability Zones
- Availability zones are part of a region
- Availability Zones consist of one or more separately located data centers, each with redundant power, networking, and connectivity, housed in separate facilities.
- So if you want to make your application highly available then plan to distribute among different availability zones

There are some common terms and topics which are true/applicable for any cloud based vendor. Below we will discuss some of these terms in simplest form.
Cloud Computing
Computing when used as a Noun means “the use or operation of computers”
Cloud in the technological term means some location away from your premise. Your premise is termed as “on-premise”
So, roughly speaking, the definition of “Cloud Computing” can be => “The use or operation of computers (servers, storage, network components etc.) which are stored somewhere else”
In more sophisticated language, Cloud computing is the on-demand delivery of compute power, database storage, applications, and other IT resources through a cloud services platform via the Internet with pay-as-you-go pricing
