What are some advantages of using Amazon EC2 instances to host applications in the AWS Cloud instead of on premises?
(Choose two.)
EC2 includes operating system patch management.
EC2 integrates with Amazon VPC, AWS CloudTrail, and AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM).
EC2 has a 100% service level agreement (SLA).
EC2 has a flexible, pay-as-you-go pricing model.
EC2 has automatic storage cost optimization.
Explanations:
While AWS manages the infrastructure, EC2 does not include operating system patch management. Users are responsible for managing OS updates and patches on their instances.
EC2 integrates seamlessly with various AWS services such as Amazon VPC for network isolation, AWS CloudTrail for logging, and AWS IAM for access management, providing enhanced security and management capabilities.
EC2 does not offer a 100% service level agreement (SLA). While AWS provides SLAs for its services, EC2 typically has an SLA of 99.99% uptime, not 100%.
EC2 features a flexible, pay-as-you-go pricing model, allowing users to pay only for the compute capacity they use, which can lead to significant cost savings compared to maintaining on-premises infrastructure.
EC2 does not have automatic storage cost optimization as a built-in feature. Users need to manually manage their storage options and costs, though AWS offers various storage services that can be used in conjunction with EC2.
If memory serves me right, the answer is:
EC2 integrates with Amazon VPC, AWS CloudTrail, and AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM).
