Exam Essentials
Understand the value of the 12-month Free Tier. The Free Tier lets you run light services such as the t2.micro EC2 instance type and a 30 GB SSH EBS volume. The goal is to get you comfortable with the AWS environment so you can learn how it can be used to host your applications.
Understand the value of permanent Free Tier services. Low-volume consumption includes the retrieval of up to 10 GB of stored objects from Glacier or 62,000 outbound emails through Amazon SES. The goal is to give you the opportunity to launch proof-of-concept deployments.
Know how to access Amazon’s resource pricing online documentation. To accurately calculate the true costs of an AWS deployment, you must understand the pricing for the particular level of resource you launch within a particular AWS Region. Each service resource (like an EC2 instance) is billed by metrics unique to its characteristics.
