A company wants to automate application deployments to a fleet of Amazon EC2 instances and on-premises servers. The operations team needs a service that can deploy software updates, web content, or configuration files without requiring manual SSH access to each server or causing application downtime.
Which AWS service is designed to automate these application deployments to EC2 instances and on-premises servers?
An online retail company is designing its operational procedures on AWS. The company has two key requirements:

A software developer is writing a backend application in Python that runs on Amazon EC2. The application must programmatically retrieve configuration files from an Amazon S3 bucket and insert records into an Amazon DynamoDB table in real-time as transactions occur. Which AWS tool or method is specifically designed to enable this programmatic interaction within the application's code?
A research institution is deploying an analytics application on AWS. The application requires two distinct storage solutions:
1. A shared, POSIX-compliant file system that can be accessed concurrently by a fleet of over 100 Amazon EC2 instances.
2. A high-performance, persistent block storage volume attached to a single EC2 instance for a transactional database.
Which two AWS storage services should the organization choose to meet these requirements? (Select two.)
