- EC2 + IAM Exam Checklist

  * Know how to SSH into EC2 (and change .pem file permissions) 

  * Know how to properly use security groups 

  * Know the fundamental differences between private vs public vs elastic IP 

  * Know how to use User Data to customize your instance at boot time 

  * Know that you can build custom AMI to enhance your OS 

  * EC2 instances are billed by the second and can be easily created and thrown away, welcome to the cloud! 

  Maybe on Exam:

  * Availability zones are in geographically isolated data centers

  * IAM users are NOT defined on a per-region basis

  * If you are getting a permission error exception when trying to SSH into your linux instance, then the key is missing chmod 400 permissions

  * If you are getting a network timeout when trying to SSH into your EC2 instance, then your security groups are misconfigured

  * Security groups reference IP address, CIDR block, Security group, but NOT DNS name
