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.

Chapter 14. Amazon Web Services

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the pioneer in the cloud computing space. It started offering IT infrastructure services in 2006, when the term cloud computing hadn't even been coined! The first few services that AWS launched were Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS), Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3), and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), and ever since there's been no stopping. Today, AWS is probably one of the most advanced and mature public cloud providers, with presence across 18 geographic regions, 130+ services, and has already announced plans to launch many more in the days ahead. Over a period of time, AWS has also diversified into various new technology and solutions spaces, that has even blurred the typical definitions of IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS. In this chapter, we will discuss some of these differentiators and new architectural patterns which can help you with a mature cloud-native experience by leveraging multiple AWS services. The following are some...
