Overview of this book

Amazon Web Services is the largest cloud computing service provider in the world. Its foundational certification, AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C01), is the first step to fast-tracking your career in cloud computing. This certification will add value even to those in non-IT roles, including professionals from sales, legal, and finance who may be working with cloud computing or AWS projects. If you are a seasoned IT professional, this certification will make it easier for you to prepare for more technical certifications to progress up the AWS ladder and improve your career prospects. The book is divided into four parts. The first part focuses on the fundamentals of cloud computing and the AWS global infrastructure. The second part examines key AWS technology services, including compute, network, storage, and database services. The third part covers AWS security, the shared responsibility model, and several security tools. In the final part, you'll study the fundamentals of cloud economics and AWS pricing models and billing practices.

AWS Landing Zone

Building a multi-account environment can become very complex and time-consuming. AWS offers its customers a set of best practice methodologies to follow when designing a multi-account ecosystem. Previously, AWS offered a solution called AWS Landing Zone, which has now been deprecated in favor of the new AWS Control Tower.

The previous AWS Landing Zone service offered customers a baseline blueprint to design and architect a multi-account environment, which offered identity and access management, governance, data security, and logging features.

Important note

Although AWS Landing Zone is currently in long-term support and will not receive any additional features, it is still likely to show up in the exam.
