Learning AWS

by Aurobindo Sarkar, Amit Shah

Overview

With increasing global interest in leveraging cloud infrastructure, AWS Cloud from Amazon offers a cutting-edge platform for architecting, building, and deploying web-scale cloud applications through a user-friendly interface. The variety of features available within AWS can reduce overall infrastructure costs and accelerate the development process for both large enterprises and startups alike.

This book walks you through the basic AWS components and explains how these relate to designing scalable, highly available, and secure AWS cloud applications.

Beginning with basic cloud computing terminologies and types of cloud providers and their characteristics, you'll learn the key concepts of multi-tenancy and put your knowledge of Spring and MySQL into use to build sample applications. You'll then implement different design patterns and make changes in the application development environment to make your applications scalable and highly available. Next, you'll enforce security enabling features on the AWS platform by using security tools to protect communications and application data. Finally, you'll practice backups and troubleshooting to monitor AWS applications.
