Implementing Cloud Design Patterns for AWS - Second Edition

By: Sean Keery, Clive Harber, Marcus Young

Overview of this book

Whether you're just getting your feet wet in cloud infrastructure or already creating complex systems, this book will guide you through using the patterns to fit your system needs. Starting with patterns that cover basic processes such as source control and infrastructure-as-code, the book goes on to introduce cloud security practices. You'll then cover patterns of availability and scalability and get acquainted with the ephemeral nature of cloud environments. You'll also explore advanced DevOps patterns in operations and maintenance, before focusing on virtualization patterns such as containerization and serverless computing. In the final leg of your journey, this book will delve into data persistence and visualization patterns. You'll get to grips with architectures for processing static and dynamic data, as well as practices for managing streaming data. By the end of this book, you will be able to design applications that are tolerant of underlying hardware failures, resilient against an unexpected influx of data, and easy to manage and replicate.

Summary


We have looked at solutions that are ineffective and may result in undesired consequences. Avoiding these cloud anti-patterns promotes increased quality and lower defects throughout your cloud adventure. We have covered how to eschew recreating organization barriers in AWS, recognize unsuitable cloud workloads, and regularly detect opportunities for improvement. In the next chapter, we will identify how to collect and learn from data that can help us avoid anomalies that haven't been widely encountered in the cloud yet.
