Amazon Athena is an interactive query service that makes it easy to analyse data in Amazon S3, using standard SQL commands. It will work with a number of data formats including "JSON", "Apache Parquet", "Apache ORC" amongst others, but "XML" is not a format that is supported.
- RDS
- DynamoDB
- ElastiCache
- Network Access Control lists (nACL)
- Elastic load balancer
- Security Groups
RDS database engines have a limit to the number of databases that can run per instance
Both the Oracle and SQL Server database engines have limits to how many databases that can run per instance. Primarily, this is due to the underlying technology being proprietary and requiring specific licensing to operate. The database engines based on Open Source technology such as Aurora, MySQL, MariaDB or PostgreSQL have no such limits.
-
EBS, S3 and EFS all allow the user to configure encryption at rest using either the AWS Key Management Service (KMS) or, in some cases, using customer provided keys.
-
Elasticache for Redis offers a native encryption service but Elasticache for Memcached does not.
-
For EC2, encryption at rest can be achieved by:
- Using third party volume encryption tools
- Encrypting your data inside your application, before storing it on EBS.
- Encrypting the data using native encryption tools available in the operating system (such as Windows BitLocker)
Hypervisors used are:
- Nitro
- Xen
- KVM
- Basic
- Developer
- Business
- Enterprise
- Trusted Advisor inspects your AWS environment, and then makes recommendations when opportunities exist to save money, improve system availability and performance, or help close security gaps.
- All AWS customers have access to five Trusted Advisor checks.
