Overview of this book

This book introduces you to the hybrid cloud platform, and focuses on the AWS public cloud and OpenStack private cloud platforms. It provides a deep dive into the AWS and OpenStack cloud platform services that are essential for developing hybrid cloud applications. You will learn to develop applications on AWS and OpenStack platforms with ease by leveraging various cloud services and taking advantage of PaaS. The book provides you with the ability to leverage the ?exibility of choosing a cloud platform for migrating your existing resources to the cloud, as well as developing hybrid cloud applications that can migrate virtual machine instances from AWS to OpenStack and vice versa. You will also be able to build and test cloud applications without worrying about the system that your development environment supports. The book also provides an in-depth understanding of the best practices that are followed across the industry for developing cloud applications, as well as for adapting the hybrid cloud platform. Lastly, it also sheds light on various troubleshooting techniques for OpenStack and AWS cloud platform services that are consumed by hybrid cloud applications. By the end of this book, you will have a deep understanding of the hybrid cloud platform and will be able to develop robust, efficient, modular, scalable, and ?exible cloud applications.

Chapter 4. Developing AWS Cloud Applications

In the last section, we discussed the AWS and OpenStack cloud platforms and their features. It's now time to explore these clouds from the developer's perspective. We will begin by setting up our own development environment and then start building applications on the AWS Cloud. We assume that the reader is familiar with basic object-oriented programming in C# and Python, as this knowledge will make it easy to understand the code examples written in this chapter.

The following topics are covered in this chapter:

  • Setting up a development environment using Visual Studio on a Windows platform
  • Setting up a development environment for Python on a Unix platform
  • Developing Amazon S3 applications
  • Developing Amazon EC2 applications
  • Developing Amazon RDS applications
  • Developing Amazon SNS applications
  • Developing Amazon SQS applications
  • AWS CloudFormation Templates
