C. An instance’s hardware profile is defined by the instance type. High-volume (or low-volume) data processing operations and data streams can be handled using any storage volume or on any instance (although some may be better optimized than others).
-
A. The Quick Start includes only the few dozen most popular AMIs. The Community tab includes thousands of publicly available AMIs—whether verified or not. The My AMIs tab only includes AMIs created from your account.
-
B, C. AMIs can be created that provide both a base operating system and a pre-installed application. They would not, however, include any networking or hardware profile information—those are largely determined by the instance type.
-
B, D. c5d.18xlarge and t2.micro are the names of EC2 instance types, not instance type families.
-
D. A virtual central processing unit (vCPU) is a metric that roughly measures an instance type’s compute power in terms...
