Description ABOUT THE BOOK A look at core Amazon Web Services (AWS) services with an emphasis on implementation and skill development.
You will understand AWS best practices for typical web app functions: - Session management.- Conte. - Create snapshots of EBS data volumes.- Create Amazon Machine Images of your app servers.- Use multiple instances and multiple zones.- Centralize sessions, content and the database.- Use auto-scaling groups for your app servers.- Off-load database requests to read replicas or to in-memory databases.- Use a Content Distribution Network to deliver content to users around the world.- Use signed URLs when delivering private content.- Configure security using the principle of least privileges.- Use an automation platform for frequent deployments.
You will implement these AWS best practices: - Configure separate root and data EBS volumes.
You will use these important aspects of AWS: - Infrastructure: AWS Regions and Availability Zones.- EC2: Amazon Machine Images, EBS Snapshots, Application Load Balancers, Sticky Sessions, Auto-Scaling Groups.- AWS Databases: RDS Read Replicas, RDS Multi-AZ Deployment, Memcached clusters.- Network: Public and Private Subnets, VPC Service Endpoints, Security Groups, NAT Gateways.- Security: IAM Roles, IAM policies, S3 bucket policies, S3 Access Control Lists, Cloud Front signed URLs.- App development: AWS SDK.

The book has 8 chapters and a capstone project, code, and commands required for the project are included.
You will start with a simple web application on a single Elastic Cloud Compute (EC2) instance and improve the Stack Step by Step by adding high availability, fault-tolerance, scalability, security and ease of deployment.
