  • Is there issue of exposing my IP? (with Route 53)

  • A: Amazon Route 53 automatically creates a name server (NS) record that has the same name as your hosted zone. It lists the four name servers that are the authoritative name servers for your hosted zone e.g. AWS Route 53 - FAQs

  • Can you provide a real life example of Route53?

  • A: Sure, like for disaster recovery, if one region goes down, route 53 will do the failover to another region automatically. There are diff options you get : have a look in here :AWS Route 53

  • What is block here?

  • A: Block is defined as we save data on hard disks, it is into blocks hence faster to find it. EBS is like hard disks

  • Can we create RAID structures with EBS manually or its taken care by the system itself?

  • A: Yes. You can stripe multiple volumes together to achieve up to 260,000 IOPS or 60,000 Mbps (or 7500 MB/s) when attached to larger EC2 instances. However, performance for st1 and sc1 scales linearly with volume size so there may not be as much of a benefit to stripe these volumes together.
