Overview of this book

Cloud computing has proven to be the most revolutionary IT development since virtualization. Cloud native architectures give you the benefit of more flexibility over legacy systems. This Learning Path teaches you everything you need to know for designing industry-grade cloud applications and efficiently migrating your business to the cloud. It begins by exploring the basic patterns that turn your database inside out to achieve massive scalability. You’ll learn how to develop cloud native architectures using microservices and serverless computing as your design principles. Then, you’ll explore ways to continuously deliver production code by implementing continuous observability in production. In the concluding chapters, you’ll learn about various public cloud architectures ranging from AWS and Azure to the Google Cloud Platform, and understand the future trends and expectations of cloud providers. By the end of this Learning Path, you’ll have learned the techniques to adopt cloud native architectures that meet your business requirements. This Learning Path includes content from the following Packt products: • Cloud Native Development Patterns and Best Practices by John Gilbert • Cloud Native Architectures by Erik Farr et al.

Summary


In this chapter, we focused on AWS and its capabilities based on the CNMM described earlier. So, in line with that, we focused on understanding the core AWS capabilities around building cloud-native architectures and effectively operating in your applications in that environment. We then dived deep into a sample serverless microservice application, leveraging various key AWS services and frameworks. Finally, we understood the principles around DevOps and DevSecOps and how those translated to various different application architectures ranging from deploying on Amazon EC2, Amazon Elastic Beanstalk, AWS Lambda, and the Amazon EC2 Container Service. Finally, we looked at migration patterns to move your applications to AWS and the concept of the 6Rs and the AWS CAF.
