Question 34
Domain 3: Cloud Technology and ServicesBoth AWS and traditional IT distributors provide a wide range of virtual servers to meet their customers' requirements. What is the name of these virtual servers in AWS?
Correct answer: D
Explanation
AWS names its virtual servers “EC2 Instances.” The source states, “EC2 Instances are priced” and lists them under compute, showing that Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) is the service for virtual server capacity in AWS.
Why each option is right or wrong
A. Amazon EBS Snapshots.
B. Amazon VPC.
C. AWS Managed Servers.
D. Amazon EC2 Instances.
Amazon EC2 is the AWS service for virtual server capacity, and the source explicitly places these under the Compute section and notes that EC2 capacity is billed by the second on On-Demand. In AWS terminology, the individual virtual server resource is an EC2 instance, so the correct name for the virtual servers is the EC2 instance type rather than a generic “server” label.
