AWS Fundamentals

• Availability zone:-  It is Isolated locations in a Region

Points to Remember:-

1. Resources aren’t replicated across regions unless organizations choose to do so.
2. Each Region is completely independent and is designed to completely isolated from the other Regions.
3. Each Availability zones are also isolated, but the availability zones in a region are connected to low-latency links.

One default directory created (called /  --- this is called root directory) , all directory which we create manually or other system directories comes under it.

**It means if we want to go in etc directory the we have to use /etc not etc only**

Every directory will come under / directory (root directory)

• First of All download CentOS (Flavour of Linux Operating System) from https://wiki.centos.org/Download
