Network Fundamentals
The Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Model is a standard used by networking manufacturers globally. It was created and published in 1984; it splits all network communications into seven layers. Each layer serves the layer that’s above it plus the layer beneath it which adds additional capabilities.
AWS Snowball
Snowball is a petabyte-scale data transport solution that uses secure appliances to transfer large amounts of data into and out of the AWS cloud.
Elastic File System (EFS)
Amazon EFS is an implementation of the Network File System (NFSv4) delivered as a service. File systems can be created and mounted on multiple Linux instances at the same time. Use EFS when you need a “file system” that can be accessed from multiple instances (e.g., shared media, home folders, documentation, shared logs).
