Summary
In this chapter, you have learned how to create and manage virtual servers called Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances to run applications and services in the cloud. You have also learned about Amazon machine images (AMIs), which are pre-configured templates that make launching EC2 instances faster and easier.
Additionally, you have learned how to attach Elastic Block Store (EBS) storage to your EC2 instances, which provides the ability to store data on virtual hard drives that can be easily attached and detached. You also learned about Amazon Elastic File System (EFS), a fully managed and scalable file storage service used to create and provision file systems in the cloud. The AWS Certified Developer Associate exam will test your knowledge of core concepts around EC2 services as well as the EBS and EFS storage services. You will also be tested on AMIs, the use of user data and metadata, and security features.
The next chapter will cover database services on AWS...
