Foundational concepts and fundamental questions

1. EC2 vs Lambda ▼

EC2: Persistent, control over OS, good for long-running, steady-state apps.

Lambda: Event-driven, ephemeral, scales to zero, good for bursty traffic or glue code.

2. High Availability Multi-Region ▼

Active-Active (complex data sync) or Active-Passive (easier). Use Global Load Balancer (Route53), Replicated DBs (DynamoDB Global Tables, Aurora Global), and stateless app tiers.
