Question: Give few sample of ARN Format?





Question: Explain syntax of ARN Format?

arn:It is static
partition: Standard AWS regions the partition is aws.
service: The service namespace that identifies the AWS product like Amazon S3, IAM, or Amazon RDS.
region: Region of the service like west-1, west-2,
account: Account id from where its generated.

Question: What is Amazon RDS Read Replicas?

You can create one or more replicas and serve high-volume application read traffic from multiple copies of your data.
Read replicas are available in Amazon RDS for MySQL, MariaDB, and PostgreSQL as well as Amazon Aurora.

EFS: EBS may be good for setting up a drive for virtual machines and and S3 is good for storage and EFS is good for both.

Amazon S3 Amazon EBS Amazon EFS
Can be publicly accessible
Web interface
Object Storage
Slower than EBS and EFS
Accessible only via the given EC2 Machine
File System interface
Block Storage
Hardly scalable
Faster than S3 and EFS
Accessible via several EC2 machines and AWS services
Web and file system interface
Object storage
Faster than S3, slower than EBS
Good for storing backups Is meant to be EC2 drive Good for shareable applications and workloads
