AWS Cloud Development Kit - From Beginner to Professional - Launch EC2 with the Latest AMI in any AWS Region - Portable

The video tutorial explains how to launch an EC2 instance and avoid hardcoding AMI IDs by dynamically selecting the latest AMI for both Linux and Windows. It covers customizing AMI options, deploying across different regions, and ensuring the stack is not bound to a specific region. The tutorial demonstrates the process of deploying a web server using the latest AMI in multiple regions with minimal changes.

What is a major disadvantage of hardcoding AMI IDs in your stack?

• It makes the stack more secure.

• It allows for easier updates.

• It ties the stack to a specific region.

• It reduces deployment time.

Why is it beneficial to dynamically select the latest AMI for Linux?

• To ensure compatibility with older software.

• To avoid manual updates when new patches are released.

• To increase the complexity of the stack.

• To reduce the cost of deployment.

Which of the following is NOT an option when customizing an Amazon Linux AMI?

• Opting for EBS or instance storage.

• Selecting a paravirtualized or hardware virtualized machine.

• Choosing between a slim or standard edition.

• Deciding on the color of the interface.

What is a key difference when selecting Windows AMIs compared to Linux AMIs?

• Windows AMIs cannot be deployed in multiple regions.

• Windows AMIs are always cheaper.

• Windows AMIs do not have licensing options.

• Windows AMIs have a version option instead of generation and edition.

What must be changed to deploy the stack in a different AWS region?

• The AMI ID.

• The entire stack configuration.

• The instance type.

• The region variable in the configuration file.

How does the stack pick the latest AMI when deployed in a new region?

• By querying Amazon's list of available AMIs.

• By manually entering the AMI ID.

• By using a random selection process.

• By using a hardcoded list of AMIs.

What is the primary benefit of deploying the stack in multiple regions?

• Reduced latency for users in different regions.

• Lower deployment costs.

• Simplified stack configuration.

• Increased security.
