This chapter explains how to implement operational management features—such as cost and performance alerts, security backups, access control, and instance recovery—to maintain, monitor, and optimize running services.  

General domain of usage  
Cloud infrastructure management

When launching an **EC2** instance in **AWS**, you are presented with a range of options for **managing** and **optimizing** its operation.

# Summary
All these tools and features make AWS EC2 a **flexible** and **powerful** platform for running a wide variety of **applications** and **services**, managing them with maximum **efficiency** and **control**.

What feature in AWS allows you to monitor your EC2 instance usage and alert you when you reach specific cost thresholds?

Which AWS service provides relational database functionalities that can be integrated with your EC2 instance?

What is the main purpose of Elastic Load Balancers in AWS?

Discover the world of cloud computing by exploring its core technologies and practical applications in this course! Begin with the fundamentals of cloud computing and then focus on essential AWS services like S3 (Simple Storage Service) for scalable storage, EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) for virtual servers, and RDS (Relational Database Service) for managed databases. Gain hands-on experience as you learn how these services integrate to support modern applications efficiently.

Learn about the history and development of cloud technologies, as well as how modern servers and web applications operate. Dive into the different cloud models, understand the offerings of major cloud service providers, and explore the security fundamentals that ensure safe cloud operations. 

Explore a cloud service called S3, and learn how to configure and use it. You'll upload various media to S3, and then you'll even learn how to host a simple static website on S3.

Dive into understanding what EC2 is and how it works. Learn what EC2 is used for, how to create and manage instances, and how to connect to them from your device. Learn the basics of working with EC2 instances and how to deploy your own website on an EC2 web server.

Learn how to create and use databases in the cloud. Use different types, learn how they interact with applications, and integrate with various products. Cloud databases are the most secure way to store data.
