Key topics include choosing the right EC2 instance types and families, leveraging caching with ElastiCache and CloudFront, selecting performant database engines, and optimizing data transfer with services like Direct Connect or S3 Transfer Acceleration. Candidates must be able to identify performance bottlenecks in a described architecture and recommend targeted improvements.
