 Q9. Can a EC2 instance have multiple Security Groups ? Can a single security group be assigned to multiple Ec2 instances ? If either of them is true , doesn't it result in conflict ?Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Ans. We can assign multiple security groups to single instance and we can use single security group with multiple instances.

It never results in conflict as security groups only have allow rules and no deny rules. Multiple security groups for an instance results in union of all rules.

 Q10. What are the reasons to choose between reserved and on demand instances ?Server
Ans. In terms of compute options and configurations, Reserved Instances and On Demand instances are the same. The only difference between the two is that a Reserved Instance is one you rent (reserved) for a fixed duration, and in return you receive a discount on the base price of an On Demand instance.
