AWS Key Management Service The Key Management Service (KMS) allows you to create encryption keys and control their access. Both symmetric and asymmetric keys can be created, as you can see in Figure 10.1. FIGURE 10.1 KMS Key features of AWS KMS include The ability to create, view, and edit keys Use policies to control […]

Identifying and Backing Up the Necessary Data On AWS, Amazon S3 is the backup destination of choice. It is a very reliable and highly durable storage option. It is extremely cost-efficient and also offers built-in life cycle management to transition your backup data through various and less expensive storage tiers as it ages. In addition, […]

Image processing Image processing is a very popular topic in machine learning. The idea is pretty self-explanatory: creating models that can analyze images and make inferences on top of them. By inference, you can understand this as detecting objects in an image, classifying images, and so on. AWS offers a set of built-in algorithms you […]

4.4 Collections In Apex, collections are data structures used to store and manage multiple values of the same or different data types. Collections allow you to work with groups of related data in a more organized and efficient way compared to using individual variables. There are three main types of collections in Apex: Lists, Sets, […]

Understanding CloudWatch Logs CloudWatch Logs allows you to ingest logs from your AWS services. The CloudWatch Logs service helps you move logs off your host and onto durable storage. The S3 service backs this durable storage. Once they have moved there, they are retained until you change the retention period. With logs stored in CloudWatch […]

Optics Modern network interfaces include options for either electrical or optical media types. In this section, you will learn about fiber-optic networks. Fiber-optic media has many advantages over copper in most deployments. For example, fiber cables are not subject to electrical magnetic interference since they transmit optical, not electrical, signals. Fiber cables are much more […]

DR Options on AWS As opposed to traditional infrastructure deployment on-premises, the cloud lets you take a much more dynamic approach to DR. It frees you from the capital investment that you need to make on-premises to provision DR infrastructure. It also makes DR infrastructure readily available for you to speed up recovery; thus, you […]

THE AWS CERTIFIED ADVANCED NETWORKING – SPECIALTY EXAM OBJECTIVES COVERED IN THIS CHAPTER MAY INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO, THE FOLLOWING: Objective 1.5: Design a routing strategy and connectivity architecture between on-premises networks and the AWS Cloud. Objective 1.6: Design a routing strategy and connectivity architecture that include multiple AWS accounts, AWS Regions, and […]

Textual analysis Modern applications use Natural Language Processing (NLP) for several purposes, such as text translation, document classifications, web search, Named Entity Recognition (NER), and many others. AWS offers a suite of algorithms for most NLP use cases. In the next few subsections, you will have a look at these built-in algorithms for textual analysis. […]
