1.A web server is a combination of computer hardware and software that stores website file and delivers them to user devices over the internet
2.inbound rules are security settings that control and filter incoming network traffic trying to enter a private network server, or individual device.
3.IIS stand for Internet Information Service, which is a flexible, general-purpose web server software created by Microsoft.

What defines a Hybrid Cloud deployment model, and why do companies choose it?

A Hybrid Cloud combines on-premises infrastructure (private cloud) with public cloud services such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud.

The two environments are connected so that data and applications can work across both environments.

  1. Security – Sensitive data can remain on-premises.

  2. Flexibility – Companies can use public cloud resources when needed.

  3. Cost optimization – Avoid moving everything to the cloud.

  4. Compliance – Some data may need to remain in a specific environment.

  5. Scalability – Use public cloud resources when workload increases.

What is an AWS Region, and how are individual regions isolated from one another?

An Availability Zone is one or more physically separate data centers within an AWS Region, designed to be isolated from failures in other AZs.

AZs within the same Region are connected through AWS's private, low-latency, high-bandwidth network.

This allows applications to communicate between AZs while maintaining high availability and fault tolerance.

What is an AWS Local Zone, and what specific problem does it solve for cloud architectures?

An AWS Local Zone is an extension of an AWS Region that places AWS infrastructure closer to end users in a specific geographic area.


It solves the problem of high latency when users are far away from the main AWS Region.

Example:
Suppose your application is hosted in the Mumbai Region, but users are located in another distant city. A Local Zone closer to those users can run supported workloads nearby, reducing network latency.
