# AWS Direct Links To FAQ and best practices

I am updating this page on the go while learning AWS configuration and different services to keep the best resources and links I found on AWS docs, youtube and blogs.

##EC2
> - Default AWS account limits allow you to launch up to 20 Amazon EC2 instances.

## Comparison between OpsWorks, Elastic Beanstalk and CloudFormation

| OpsWorks | Elastic Beanstalk | CloudFormation |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Configuration management | Application Management | Configuration Management |
| Chef recipe and cookbooks for management| Yaml and application code | JSON based notation for management|
| AWS OpsWorks supports a narrower range of application-oriented AWS resource types including Amazon EC2 instances, Amazon EBS volumes, Elastic IPs, and Amazon CloudWatch metrics | Limited resources, almost same as OpsWorks | Provision and manage almost any AWS resource |
