How do I manage my AWS service quotas?

For all other quota increase requests, create a case in the AWS Support console, and then choose Service Limit Increase.

How Many Types of Backup are There?

There are mainly three types of backup: full, differential, and incremental.

Full - Entire Dataset regardless of any previous backups

Differential - Additions or alterations since most recent full backup

Incremental - Additions or alterations since most recent Incremental backup.

Amazon EBS volumes are placed in a specific Availability Zone where they are automatically replicated to protect you from the failure of a single component. 

All EBS volume types offer durable snapshot capabilities and are designed for 99.999% availability.

At no additional charge to you, Amazon EBS volume data is replicated across multiple servers in an Availability Zone to prevent the loss of data from the failure of any single component.

Snowmobile - Exabytes level data 


With the new Snowmobile service, AWS said a person could ship one exabyte (an exabyte is 1,000 petabytes) of data to AWS in about six months -- a feat that would take 26 years over a 10Gbps dedicated connection.

Amazon S3 Geo-Redundancy and Replication

Amazon S3, the storage service on AWS, provides two types of geo-redundancy options.


S3 Availability Zones

The first method for achieving geo-redundancy on AWS is by using what AWS calls Availability Zones. Each AWS region includes multiple Availability Zones, which are geographically distant from each other.


By default, the Standard, Infrequent Access and Glacier storage classes on S3 replicate data automatically across at least three Availability Zones. This means that as long as you are using one of these S3 storage classes, your data will be geo-redundant, without any extra effort required on your part. The cost of this AWS geo-redundancy is built into the standard S3 pricing.


The major downside to achieving AWS geo-redundancy via this approach is that the Availability Zones within the same AWS region are still somewhat close together. Amazon is not specific about how close they are to each other, but says only that they are separated by “miles.” As such, they will suffice to protect against disruptions that are very localized, such as a fire or cooling system failure that affects just one server room. However, a large-scale disaster, such as major flooding or an earthquake, could impact multiple Availability Zones within the same region; in that case, your data may cease to be available despite the geo-redundancy that you have established via Availability Zones.

Updating stacks using change sets

https://docs.amazonaws.cn/en_us/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/using-cfn-updating-stacks-changesets.html

When you need to update a stack, understanding how your changes will affect running resources before you implement them can help you update stacks with confidence. Change sets allow you to preview how proposed changes to a stack might impact your running resources, for example, whether your changes will delete or replace any critical resources, Amazon CloudFormation makes the changes to your stack only when you decide to execute the change set, allowing you to decide whether to proceed with your proposed changes or explore other changes by creating another change set.

Capacity Reservation 

Reserved Instances  -  Discounted Pricing - You commit USAGE

Savings Plan - Discounted Pricing - You commit SPEND


There are two classes of Reserved Instances:

Standard Reserved Instances lock you into using one instance family, on the same operating system.

Convertible Reserved Instances offer the flexibility to change families, operating systems and tenancy, but at the cost of a slightly smaller discount

EBS snapshots should be directly compared to replicas as they 


Replication

Replication creates a copy of your data which is stored in an identical format as the original

data. Because your replica is the same as your original machine, you can simply power on the

replica for instant disaster recoveryprovide similar functionality


Backup

A backup is a copy of your data that is stored in a special format in order to reduce the data

size and enable a full/granular recovery. Backups allow you to recover all or part of the data

from weeks, months, or even years ago. At the same time, backups take up a fraction of the

storage space when compared to the original data size
