===Web Services===

====AWS CloudFormation====
CloudFormation is a tool for creating, managing, configuring, and deploying cloud resources. Like any other AWS service, CloudFormation can be used via either the CLI or web-console. The (JSON or YAML) script file is also called the '''CloudFormation template'''. This collection of resources that get created using a single script, is considered a one-logical entity called a '''stack'''. It means you can create, update, or delete a stack in just a single command.

====Amazon Elastic Block Storage (ABS)====
Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) is an easy-to-use, scalable, high-performance block-storage service designed for Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2).

====Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2)====
* Instance: Instances marked with a ''t'' are used for testing, the ''m'' (memory-intensive) types can be used for processing larger databases or installing single servers. The large capacity ''c'' (CPU-intensive) Instances are recommended for e.g. hosting Magento stores.
** Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
*** Instance Types
**** t2.micro (free)
=====Key Pairs=====
* are generated, private key (*.pem file) has to be downloaded (which is only be possible once, because it is not stored by AWS) and used for connecting to the server
* PuTTY doesn't natively support the private key format (.pem) generated by Amazon EC2. You must convert your private key into a .ppk file before you can connect to your instance using PuTTY. You can use the PuTTYgen tool for this conversion.

=====Amazon Machine Image (AMI)=====
* '''Community AMIs''': Whenever you create an AMI, you can add permissions to it to make it public. In that case, it goes to "community AMIs". These are AMIs that comes from AWS users, and are not verified by AWS
* '''AWS Maketplace''': this is a whole service at AWS, and all AMIs here are verified by AWS. It is basically used for software vendors to sell their products through AWS. The customers will be billed by AWS only, but then AWS will pay the AMI owner in return.

====Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS)====


====Amazon RDS====
* create, manage and scale an Amazon Relational Database Service like MySQL

====Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3)====
Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) is an object storage service that offers industry-leading scalability, data availability, security, and performance. An Amazon S3 '''bucket''' is a public cloud storage resource. An S3 customer first creates a bucket in the AWS region of his or her choice and gives it a globally unique name. AWS recommends that customers choose regions geographically close to them to reduce latency and costs. Once the bucket has been created, the user then selects a tier for the data, with different S3 tiers having different levels of redundancy, prices and accessibility.

====Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC)====
