sandbox A testing location where you can test the functionality of your application without
affecting production, incurring charges, or purchasing products.
Amazon SES (p. 113): An environment that is designed for developers to test
and evaluate the service. In the sandbox, you have full access to the Amazon SES
API, but you can only send messages to verified email addresses and the mailbox
simulator. To get out of the sandbox, you need to apply for production access.
Accounts in the sandbox also have lower sending limits (p. 151) than production
accounts.
scale in To remove EC2 instances from an Auto Scaling group (p. 115).
scale out To add EC2 instances to an Auto Scaling group (p. 115).
scaling policy A description of how Auto Scaling should automatically scale an Auto Scaling
group (p. 115) in response to changing demand.
See Also scale in, scale out.
scaling activity A process that changes the size, configuration, or makeup of an Auto Scaling
group (p. 115) by launching or terminating instances.
scheduler The method used for placing task (p. 156)s on container instance (p. 125)s.
schema Amazon Machine Learning: The information needed to interpret the input data
for a machine learning model, including attribute names and their assigned data
types, and the names of special attributes.
score cut-off value Amazon Machine Learning: A binary classification models output a score that
ranges from 0 to 1. To decide whether an observation should be classified as 1
or 0, you pick a classification threshold, or cut-off, and Amazon ML compares the
score against it. Observations with scores higher than the cut-off are predicted as
target equals 1, and scores lower than the cut-off are predicted as target equals 0.
SCP See service control policy.
search API Amazon CloudSearch (p. 110): The API that you use to submit search requests to
a search domain (p. 150).
search domain Amazon CloudSearch (p. 110): Encapsulates your searchable data and the
search instances that handle your search requests. You typically set up a separate
Amazon CloudSearch domain for each different collection of data that you want
to search.
search domain configuration Amazon CloudSearch (p. 110): An domain's indexing options, analysis
scheme (p. 114)s, expression (p. 132)s, suggester (p. 155)s, access policies,
and scaling and availability options.
search enabled Amazon CloudSearch (p. 110): An index field option that enables the field data
to be searched.
search endpoint Amazon CloudSearch (p. 110): The URL that you connect to when sending
search requests to a search domain. Each Amazon CloudSearch domain has a
unique search endpoint that remains the same for the life of the domain.
search index Amazon CloudSearch (p. 110): A representation of your searchable data that
facilitates fast and accurate data retrieval.
search instance Amazon CloudSearch (p. 110): A compute resource (p. 148) that indexes
your data and processes search requests. An Amazon CloudSearch domain
has one or more search instances, each with a finite amount of RAM and CPU
resources. As your data volume grows, more search instances or larger search
