This section introduces configuring AWS infrastructure to support high availability (HA) to our application. Amazon's high-level services are designed for high availability and fault tolerance like the Elastic Load Balancer (ELB),Simple Storage Service (S3), Simple Queue Service (SQS), Simple Notification Service(SNS), Relational Database Service(RDS), Route 53 a dynamic DNS service, and Cloudwatch. The infrastructure services, such as Elastic Cloud Compute (EC2) and Elastic Block Storage (EBS), can leverage Availability Zones, Elastic IP addresses and snapshots to design highly available and fault tolerant applications and deployment environments. Remember that hosting an application on the cloud does not make it fault tolerant or highly available. We need to architect for high availability.

Overview of this book
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the most popular and widely-used cloud platform. Administering and deploying application on AWS makes the applications resilient and robust. The main focus of the book is to cover the basic concepts of cloud-based development followed by running solutions in AWS Cloud, which will help the solutions run at scale.
This book not only guides you through the trade-offs and ideas behind efficient cloud applications, but is a comprehensive guide to getting the most out of AWS. In the first section, you will begin by looking at the key concepts of AWS, setting up your AWS account, and operating it. This guide also covers cloud service models, which will help you build highly scalable and secure applications on the AWS platform. We will then dive deep into concepts of cloud computing with S3 storage, RDS and EC2. Next, this book will walk you through VPC, building real-time serverless environments, and deploying serverless APIs with microservices. Finally, this book will teach you to monitor your applications, automate your infrastructure, and deploy with CloudFormation.
By the end of this book, you will be well-versed with the various services that AWS provides and will be able to leverage AWS infrastructure to accelerate the development process.
