Ans. AMI is an Amazon Machine Image. It contains the configuration to enable to boot up an EC2 instance with said configuration whereas Cloud formation is a templating language that allows to describe how to build a VPC and also allows you to create AWS services AMI is templating specific to instances whereas the scope of CloudFormation templating is much bigger. CloudFormation could use AMI for launching instances along with other services. | ||||

Ans. There are 2 reasons for it. 1. Usage of Primitive types - Though Java provides classes for the primitive data types but as the usage of primitives is permissible, its considered unpure OOP's language. 2. Usage of Static members - Static members belong to the class and not objects and hence not considered fit for pure OOP's programming. | ||||

This question can be asked in different variants like performace improvement of an application, improving performance for DB communication etc. | ||||
| ||||
Ans. This depends on entirely upon the code type. For example 1.If its just logic, we can try it to short circuit or put the if / switch case with maximum probability in the beginning. 2. Can use faster data structures, for eg - random retrieval instead of sequence / iterator 3. Working with primitive types or even bytes instead of Objects, even though it may result in marginal improvement. 4. If its service call, then service call with bulk load can help 5. If DB Operation, then with use of Indices , Views or using ORM , cache etc. | ||||

Ans. The memory pool containing all the reflective data of the java virtual machine itself, such as class and method objects. With Java VMs that use class data sharing, this generation is divided into read-only and read-write areas. The Permanent generation contains metadata required by the JVM to describe the classes and methods used in the application. The permanent generation is populated by the JVM at runtime based on classes in use by the application. In addition, Java SE library classes and methods may be stored here. | ||||

Ans. ConcurrentMap is an interface and it is a member of the Java Collections Framework. It represents a Map that is capable of handling concurrent access to it without affecting the consistency of entries in a map. ConcurrentMap interface present in java.util.concurrent package. HashMap operations are not synchronized, while Hashtable provides synchronization. Though Hashtable is thread-safe, it is not very efficient. To solve this issue, the Java Collections Framework introduced ConcurrentMap in Java 1.5. | ||||
