Smart Study Summarizer & Exam Prep Assistant
🚀 Output Example (AWS Cloud Practitioner Exam)
📘 Condensed & Organized Summary
Core AWS Services: EC2 (compute), S3 (storage), RDS (database), IAM (security).
Cloud Economics: Pay-as-you-go, elasticity, scalability, TCO benefits.
Shared Responsibility Model: AWS = security of the cloud, user = security in the cloud.
Well-Architected Framework: Reliability, Performance, Security, Cost Optimization, Operational Excellence.
High-Yield Exam Concepts: Regions vs. Availability Zones, VPC basics, CloudFront, CloudFormation, Trusted Advisor.
🔑 Key Terms, Definitions & Core Concepts
Elasticity 🧠: System automatically adjusts resources to meet demand. (Mnemonic: “Elastic band stretches with load”)
Availability Zone (AZ): Physically separate data centers within a region.
S3 Storage Classes: Standard (frequent access), IA (infrequent), Glacier (archive).
EC2 Pricing Models: On-Demand, Reserved, Spot, Dedicated.
CloudFormation: Infrastructure as code, repeatable deployment.
❓ Exam-Style Practice Questions & Model Answers
MCQ: Which AWS service provides object storage? A. EBS B. S3 ✅ C. RDS D. DynamoDB Rationale: S3 is designed for object storage (files, media, backups).
True/False: In the Shared Responsibility Model, AWS is responsible for managing customer passwords. Answer: False. Customers manage identities and access controls.
Scenario-Based: A company wants a cost-effective backup system that retrieves data within hours. Which S3 storage class should they use? Answer: S3 Glacier (retrieval within hours, cheapest for archives).
