Overview of this book

The DevOps movement has transformed the way modern tech companies work. AWS which has been on the forefront of the Cloud computing revolution has also been a key contributor of this DevOps movement creating a huge range of managed services that help you implement the DevOps principles. In this book, you’ll see how the most successful tech start-ups launch and scale their services on AWS and how you can too. Written by a lead member of Mediums DevOps team, this book explains how to treat infrastructure as code, meaning you can bring resources online and offline as necessary with the code as easily as you control your software. You will also build a continuous integration and continuous deployment pipeline to keep your app up to date. You’ll find out how to scale your applications to offer maximum performance to users anywhere in the world, even when traffic spikes with the latest technologies, such as containers and serverless computing.

Preface

AWS provides a huge range of managed services. While each is well-documented, figuring out how to use them together to build a business infrastructure is less clear. In this book, you'll see how the most successful tech start-ups launch and scale their services on AWS, and how you can do it too. Thanks to the implementation of this new philosophy, high performers such as Amazon, Netflix, and Airbnb have been able to break down the silos surrounding developers and operations teams, gaining tremendous agility and the ability to deliver new code quickly and reliably. This book is a comprehensive guide to AWS that will help readers understand AWS in a step-by-step manner.
